An independent guide to Content Manager

Why this site exists

Content Manager is the most important tool in the Assetto Corsa ecosystem, yet it is also deep, fast-moving and lightly documented. New players are usually handed little more than a download link, and the answers to common questions are scattered across forum threads, Discord servers and years-old videos. CM Hub exists to fix that — to be a single, clear, current guide to the app and how to use it well.

We started the site after watching the same questions come up again and again: what does the launcher actually do, is it safe, do you need the paid version, and how does it relate to Custom Shader Patch. None of those are hard questions, but the answers were never collected in one place. CM Hub brings them together into plain-English guides that anyone can follow — whether they have raced for years or just installed the game for the first time.

What we cover

CM Hub focuses on the practical side of the app. Our guides explain what each part of it does, how to install it correctly, how it compares to the default Assetto Corsa launcher, and how it works alongside related tools such as Custom Shader Patch and weather mods like Sol and Pure. The aim is always the same: get you from "I have heard of this launcher" to "I am set up and racing" with as little friction as possible.

Our installation guide is written for someone who has never opened the app before. Our guide to what Content Manager does goes deeper, and explains why nearly every Assetto Corsa player ends up relying on it. As the community grows, we plan to expand into more focused guides — online racing, modding, and visual setup with Custom Shader Patch. Each new guide will follow the same plain-English, step-by-step format as the ones already here.

Who this site is for

CM Hub is written for Assetto Corsa players on PC at every level of experience. If you have just bought the game and keep seeing the same launcher recommended everywhere, our guides explain what it is and walk you through setup. If you have raced for a while but never moved past the default launcher, our main Content Manager guide lays out exactly what you are missing. And if you already use the app daily, the guides are a quick reference for the parts you have not explored yet — the online browser, the settings panels, or Custom Shader Patch.

We assume no prior knowledge. Every guide spells out the steps, names the menus, and flags the common mistakes, so nobody has to piece the process together from scattered forum posts.

Independent and unaffiliated

CM Hub is an independent fan resource. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to x4fab, the developer of Content Manager, and we are not affiliated with Kunos Simulazioni, the studio behind Assetto Corsa. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

We are also not a download host. CM Hub does not mirror the software and does not distribute installers of any kind. Every guide on this site points you to the official source, so you always get the genuine, current version. If you want the software itself, the people behind it, or official support, visit assettocorsa.club — the official home of the project.

How we keep guides accurate

The app updates regularly, and the Assetto Corsa community's recommended setup shifts over time. We review our guides against the current release and keep the wording version-neutral wherever possible, so the advice stays useful even after a new build ships. Where something genuinely depends on a specific version of Content Manager, we say so directly rather than leaving it vague. Every page also carries a visible "last updated" date and a clear byline, so you can see how current a guide is and who stands behind it.

If you spot something on CM Hub that is out of date or simply wrong, that feedback is genuinely welcome — keeping the guides correct is the entire point of the site. We would rather fix a small error quickly than let it mislead the next reader.
