The sim racing title can only be played in an ‘offline mode’ presently, which prevents the purchase of cars and completion of driving academy licence tests.
An online functionality fix for Assetto Corsa EVO has been released, allowing players to access the game's Driving Academy, Car Customisation and Special Events modes.
Assetto Corsa EVO’s release isn’t going to plan so far, with an always-online connection hidden until launch, which in turn doesn’t work. The financial pressures of a publicly listed parent company seem to be a contributory factor.
"As the racing game genre continues to evolve, few titles have remained as respected and beloved as the Assetto Corsa series. With the early access of Assetto Corsa Evo released on 16th January to PC, the developers at Kunos Simulazioni are poised to elevate the franchise to new heights." Jas @ Thumb Culture
