ACC Connector

ACC Connector (https://github.com/lonemeow/acc-connector) is an app created to solve the issue of connecting to ACC servers when the Kunos multiplayer servers are unavailable. Kunos offers a method to directly connect to a server via a LAN method, but this has several technical limitations that ACC Connector solves.

To use ACC Connector, there are a few one-time setup steps below, as well as steps to follow only when the ACC multiplayer lobby is offline.

One-Time Setup Steps

1. Download the ACC Connector installer (ACC-Connector-Setup-x.x.x.exe) from Github below:
   ACC Connector on Github
2. Install the app from the downloaded ACC-Connector-Setup-x.x.x.exe installer.
3. Run ACC Connector from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.
4. After ACC Connector starts, it requires the path to your ACC game folder. This is needed in order to make the necessary modifications to ACC to connect to our servers. If ACC Connector does not find your default ACC game folder automatically after launching for the first time, click the Settings button and browse to the ACC game folder. By default on most systems, this path should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Assetto Corsa Competizione but may be different if you have installed Steam to a different folder. Note that this is not the same as the ACC configuration folder found in "Documents\Assetto Corsa Competizione".
5. Close ACC Connector.

Once you have configured ACC Connector with your ACC game install folder, you can just follow the steps below to use it.

ACC Multiplayer Lobby Offline Steps

1. Shut down ACC if it is running.
2. Run ACC Connector.
3. Click the Install Hook button.

6. From the main menu, select Multiplayer, then Server List.
7. Wait for ACC to time out trying to connect to and load the multiplayer lobby server list. This could take 15-20 seconds.
