!!!!INSTALL IT MANUALLY!!!!!! Do NOT install any ppfilter thru CM!
Latest Pure and CSP REQUIRED!

Hello, racers and casual drivers,
I'm excited to share with you a FREE filter that I've created with one goal in mind - to enhance your driving experience regardless of the time of day or weather conditions. To achieve the perfect visuals, I experimented with different settings for all weather types and lighting conditions. Additionally, I added a few easy-to-understand, zero-nonsense custom sliders and learned coding to create a filter that's not only visually appealing but also dynamically adjusts to the current scenario. Give it a try and let me know what you think. This filter is PERFECT for monitors, TVs, and VR too!

INTRODUCING IV Pure CS 2.0!
The best single ppfilter for both screen and VR.
The filter name will stay IV PURE CS 2.0 but the version number on this website will continue to be 2.02,2.03, etc

Don't forget to use the custom sliders
Helpful and important custom sliders with easy-to-understand descriptions [just hover over them with your mouse] You can find these under the PP tab in Pure Config:

For VR users

VR headsets can not reproduce the same brightness and colors as well as the monitors. I have adjusted settings that will only apply if you start the game using a VR. I wanted to make sure the road was not too bright, and details did not get lost in over-exposed and over-saturated surfaces like on a bright colorful car

LINK: My own VR setup guide for best visuals and performance

Where to get Pure: U can download it from here

How to install ppfilter: Copy "system" folder into the root folder of Asetto: ...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\

Check the attached text file for my VR guide to get more performance while keeping the game looking good.

Converted both filters (screen and VR) into ONE!
• If you have the original Pure CS : Delete old files from
....SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\system\cfg\ppfilters
• Select IV PureCS 2.0 under video settings
• Reset custom sliders & adjust accordingly.

IMPORTANT:

First time loading up in the game with IV PureCS 2.0 : Open the Pure config app and make sure there are no sliders with yellow numbers under any tabs. If you find a slider with yellow names and numbers then you have to right-click on them one by one and at the end click on the SAVE button on the bottom!
All numbers need to be white or blue.

If you have an issue with the filter you can reach me via Discord, user: CSOCSO#3793

Thanks guys!

so in regards to my previous review and i have spent further hours and with further tweaking this is a brilliant if not the best PP for getting the most out of a vr quest 3... previously i was running max settings but with meta resolution at 90hz x1.1 res as i couldn't get it higher regardless of ac settings taking a massive fps drop.....
using this and the csp and video settings supplied in the description im now able to still get 90fps pretty consistently and even though the ac settings are dialled down the extra res now was able to be turned upto @ x1.3 res so this is far better getting better graphics then trying to force them from CM obviously this is from my mid range system. with a power house you can most likely max everything..... anyway hope that may help others and another big thank you to CSOCSO

I have tried manyPP filters with and without Reshade packs in VR.

This Sir is the best I have ever tried to date. Without a doubt the ultimate best VR experiance I have had with your PP filter, that brings CSP and Pure to life.

For anyone reading this that has CSP and Pure installed and runs VR, this PP filter is a MUST!!!

Well done CSOCSO...Bravo mate.

Thank you for the kind words. Works just as well with monitors :)

Honestly, this is the best PP-Filter I have ever used. I said that about another one I d-loaded a week or two ago. But this one with the latest CSP and Pure looks absolutely amazing! Nice work!

perfect, and everything as described!
Sincere congratulations to the developer.
For me the only one that works without frills even in VR. A feast for the eyes and does not impact FPS.

If you could share a csp preset for those who use oculus link I would be truly grateful.

CS0CS0

Hey. Thanks for the review! I do hav a whole VR guide setup linked. See blue text under "For VR Users" part. In that guide i did list how you should run your vr and has csp and video settings too.

Nice update for Pure 0.249. I'm using it right now (sometimes I change to C13), but yours looks amazing now too. I have an HDR monitor so I had to do some tweaks (and maybe personal decision), but yeah, looks nice. Good job

CS0CS0

Thanks! I don't have an HDR monitor but I will get 1 for sure once my monitor dies

Tried a lot of PP filters recently that have good realism in VR - C13AEGIS, Nightvenom, 2REAL and SKYDC, but your PP filter is pretty much spot on, right out of the box! It's simply better for VR, without getting into the weeds of sliders and settings. I didn't have to tweak your filter at all from default on my Quest 3. Was just what I was looking for! Thanks for the effort in making this for the community!

Fantastic work, thank you very much. I'll only use this filter. The replays in flat screen looks better too but the view in VR is amazing now.

I had to select "Sol 2.5 (Sol Planner) Static" in the weather section on the drive tab. It's too bright in VR with the G2 if "Sol 2.5 (Sol Planner) dynamic" is selected.

Only playing AC VR. Ryzen 7 5800x, RTX3080Ti and Reverb G2. Open Composite + OpenXR Toolkit.
CSP lights-patch-v0.2.1-preview2-full,Pure_0.222 and SOL 2.2.9.7.

CS0CS0

Hey. Sol is not needed no more so you supposed to delete it. Not sure what does it look like with sol static since i don't use sol but I do wonder if you are not using pure skydomes then.

Almost the best filter I've seen without any setting changes. After increasing headlight brightness to 1.50 or more it's on par with the best. Great work!

CS0CS0

Thanks for the review. That is interesting that you set the headlight brightness to 1.50. I often find myself lowering that instead of raising it,but as long as you are happy; I am happy :)

G2 Reverb here and this filter is the best. I tried a lot of different ones and was always kind of doubting which one I liked the best - until I tried this one. Absolutely amazing.

This pp filter has a unique feature that reduces the glowing surfaces while raining at night. It the game looks more reality. On the current review version 2.04, it only reduces on certain weather conditions that causes heavy wetness on the road (heavy rain, dazzle, etc.), the light and normal version still has glowing effects. This feature is an excellent idea which all other popular filters I tried before do not cover this drawback. This feature alone will make the filter stand out from the rest because other adjustments like color, visual effects and performance are objective. If anyone enjoys free roaming Tokyo express way in a rainy night, I highly recommend giving the filter a try. Please keep up the good work and improve the unique feature so it will cover all wet conditions.

CS0CS0

Thanks for the review. I fixed it for you / and for others:)
It should work flawlessly now.

Thankyou so much for making this filter. Lighting is spot in all conditions, colours are nice, performance is great.

I've tried a bunch of other popular PP filters, but always found that the headlights look unnatural, particularly when reflected on other cars and track objects. Or that the lighting in general looks good in certain times of day/weather conditions but look awful in others. This filter doesn't have any of those problems

I would highly recommend this filter to anybody, especially if you're not satisfied with lighting in the game. You can also set it and leave it - use it in VR or with a monitor - and in all race conditions, and it will always look good. Easy peasy, the best filter I've come across

Thank you!

Game changing for VR after you get it dialed. More frames, more clarity, bigger reflection and light pops, more intuitive sliders added for just quick adjustments. Best PP Filter/LUA Ive tried in conjunction with Pure.

I highly recommend following the full setup for VR guys to use OpenVR/XR/Frankenstein style setup if you're PCVR for the best frames and visuals Ive gotten out of any combo yet. YMMV, VR is finnicky, but mine has been flawless since this combo.

Setup is easy with instruction but isnt going to be a drag and drop. If you mess it up, its not hard to fix. You likely just have the wrong version of something (I had an older version of Pure still). Make sure to follow the step as well of resetting the new sliders, or if you're in VR you'll flashbang yourself if you dont turn the filter off first, set the new sliders, turn the filter on.

Thank you so much for creating and updating this filter! Also appreciate the configuration instructions. This is now my go-to ppf for VR sessions. I found that my peak FPS jumped by about 10FPS using this filter, and switching from 'Oculus Rift' to 'OpenVR' boosted my in-game performance by about 20FPS against a full F1 grid.

CS0CS0

Nice! Im glad you are enjoying it! thanks for the review

The fact that there is non-stop consistent work put into this ppfilter and updates really makes it top tier.

Consistency, constant trial & error is what shapes the best things always. This ppfilter earned it's spot and it's absolutely deserved.

Thank you for your work!
