Open race.ini (in Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg), set the server IP in SERVER_IP parameter, save and exit. Now launch AssettoCorsa.exe with "/spawn" parameter (without quotes of course) and it will connect to the server without showing the launcher.The Tuesday race server is:SERVER_IP=54.79.75.63Practice server:SERVER_IP=52.63.217.129 « Last Edit: November 21, 2018, 10:09:08 PM by Wally » Logged “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time” Rolz Guest Re: Joining AC servers directly when the lobby is down « Reply #1 on: May 06, 2017, 10:07:23 PM » Really recommend Content Manager as well as an alternative launcher for AC... gives you more options to tweak graphics and a tone of other goodies.

I dont see anything I need for the launcher even if mine tends to stay on for days when I forget to close the launcher which I use in window mode.

You need to edit your Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg\race.ini, and set the following red lines. I also removed the server IP address and GUID, but you should have valid values in there already from the last server you joined. You have to have a valid REQUESTED_CAR too - something that is actually available on the server. Edit the race.ini file, then you can just run AssettoCorsa.exe as usual and you'll jump straight into the server.

I just double-click to launch stuff, how do you launch with a 'parameter'?

Just so much stuff that you can do, and even handles the basics way better than the standard UI.
