Why IDDL
Drift Servers Deserve Better.

Most AC drift servers feel the same — same default setup, same lack of features, same broken mods. We started IDDL because we wanted a server that feels like a complete product, not a lobby with a car list.

Every feature is built from scratch, tested in real sessions, and designed to work together. No half-measures.

01

Everything is Synced

Part swaps, neon colors, crew tags, private lobbies, scores — all visible to every player in real-time. What you do, everyone sees. No client-side-only gimmicks.

02

Built, Not Configured

We don't just tweak server settings. We write custom Lua apps, C# plugins, and full UI systems from scratch. Every feature is original code — from private lobbies to drift telemetry.

03

Few Cars, Infinite Builds

We don't flood the list with 200 random cars. We pick a few platforms and give you 1000+ ways to customize each one. Swap any part, any mesh — with automatic file versioning and cache busting.

04

Always Evolving

We push updates regularly. New parts, new effects, new systems. The server you join today will be even better next week.

Setup for VR Experience

A complete guide to configuring your VR headset for the best Assetto Corsa experience on IDDL servers.

CPU Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU RTX 4080 Super
RAM 64GB 6000MT/s CL30
AVG 88.8 FPS streaming / 90 FPS offline
💡

This guide was made for the specs listed above. Your settings may vary. When streaming, recording, or playing online — turn smoke OFF for a huge FPS boost. Solo sessions can handle max smoke.

Table of Contents

1

Required Mods

Before starting, make sure you have the following installed:

  • Content Manager — essential launcher replacement
  • Custom Shaders Patch (CSP) — required for modern visuals
  • Lights Patch — IDDL Server will have the updated version
  • Pure 3.10 — YouTube how to install (this guide is for VR setup only)
  • Reshade — optional, not used in this guide

Meta Horizon Link

⚙ Settings > General

Public Test Channel ON Prevents being stuck at 72FPS when your limit is higher
Unknown Sources ON Allows Content Manager to make changes. PC Link is also an "app" that can make changes
OpenXR Runtime Set Meta Horizon Link as active Otherwise AC will use SteamVR instead and all settings below will be for naught

Device Settings (Quest 3s)

🎮 Graphic Preferences

Refresh Rate 90Hz Quest 2/3 should have similar options
Render Resolution 4864x2464 (1.3x) Sweet spot for Quest 3s — good performance and clarity. Don't max unless offline racing
Graphics Preferences — Refresh Rate & Render Resolution
Graphics Preferences — Refresh Rate & Render Resolution
🔴

1.3x resolution rendering is the perfect balance for sharpness and clarity without sacrificing too much performance.

4

Oculus Debug Tool (Quest Headsets Only)

⚠️

Open ODT AFTER you have arrived at the VR PC Link space (white room with grid floor). Open it in Administrator mode or it will not work properly. Monitor "Visible HUD" > Performance — you want a solid 85-90 FPS with 30%+ headroom for streaming.

🔎 Path to ODT

Program Files\Meta Horizon\Support\oculus-diagnostics\OculusDebugTool.exe

FOV Tangent Multiplier

Click "+" to open dropdown. Enter 0.8 in both Horizontal and Vertical fields.

This renders a smaller image reducing GPU load. Also gets rid of corner effects in stream mirrors.

Use FOV Stencil

Value Off

Don't let it auto-generate a different FOV while you have manual settings.

Adaptive GPU Performance Scale

Value Off

This fluctuates GPU usage causing stutters and desync. It reduces image resolution when GPU dips — ruins clarity.

(PC) Asynchronous Spacewarp

Value OFF

When GPU performance drops, it forces half frames and keeps it there. Turn this off.

Oculus Debug Tool
Oculus Debug Tool Settings

Distortion Curvature

Value Low

Reduces pixels on image edges (where your peripherals are). Less pixels = less stress. Works well with Quest 3 lenses.

⚠️

All ODT settings reset every time you open it — they do not save.

5

Video Codec & Encoding

Video Codec

Recommended H.264

Most RTX 40 series can use H.265 but there are compatibility issues (violent stuttering in VR Link space). H.264 is more stable and streaming platforms don't support H.265.

Encoding Bitrate

Wireless: 100-500 Mbps — keep latency at or below 90ms. Use a dedicated router for your headset.

Wired (USB-C): 500-900 Mbps — sweet spot at 800 Mbps. Need USB transfer speed of at least 2GB. Noticeable clarity bump from 500 to 750-800 without being taxing.

Link Sharpening

Value Normal

"Quality" smooths everything making flat surfaces look soft and blurry. Normal keeps edges sharp. Personal preference — affects performance around 2-5%.

6

Custom Shaders Patch Settings

📝

Some menus may look different depending on your CSP version. This guide is based on version 0.3.0-preview342.

About & Updates

Use the latest RECOMMENDED version. Untested/buggy versions can cause shiny roads, inoperable menus, and backend issues. Downgrade if problems occur.

Optimizations

Upgrade AC Textures Checked

Optimizes textures for Weather FX, Lighting FX, Particles FX. Alleviates contradictions between PP filters and server shaders.

Simulation Rain FX

Value High

Works beautifully for solo/career. If you don't see rain in-game it's most likely a Weather FX issue — check Pure for updates.

CSP Settings
Custom Shaders Patch Settings
7

CSP Graphics Settings

Graphics Adjustments

Post-Processing AA Disabled or CMAA 2.0
⚠️

FXAA is one of the BIGGEST killers of VR FPS. Disabling it gives smoother frame counts. AMD users can try "FidelityFX CAS" for extra sharpness but with these settings you won't need it.

Graphics Extra FX

Value Off

Does not work in VR. No visual difference and no performance loss or gain either.

Graphics Lighting FX

Dynamic Shadows Active

Without this, AC uses older shadows that conflict with new textures.

Graphics Particles FX

New Smoke & Dust UNCHECKED

Overrides AC Video smoke settings. Turn off and set quantity limit to 10%, on-screen size limit to 50% for minimal smoke without FPS impact.

Graphics Weather FX

Weather Style Pure Gamma
Replace YEBIS Checked

Make sure Pure is downloaded. Replace YEBIS with lightweight alternative for better VR performance.

Vertical Scale 80%

Other Small Tweaks

General

Hide Standing Spectators Checked

Cars Mirrors

Real Mirrors Checked
Enable Real Mirror if Car is Focused Checked

Reduces mirror resolution when nothing is behind you to save GPU.

Cars Windscreen FX

Value On (optional)

Only affects you during rain, snow, and dirt. Keep it on for immersion.

Assetto Corsa Video Settings

🎦 Rendering Mode

Quest + PC Link Oculus Rift

This affects the size of your in-game HUD window, not your actual VR vision. Recommended: 2560x1440. Smaller resolution = smaller HUD window edges.
