Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

The information whilst key for us isn't as important as other things... Like recharging after such a huge update...

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: Imola 2001
Car Used: F-Classic Gen 3 Model 2 (new one)
Applicable Settings: Single race, no practice or quali
Report: Race was in June on a Sunny day. AI start on wet tires and throw up a bunch of white stuff that looks like snow. Big crash in T1.
Steps to reproduce: Setup a quick race in sunny, warm conditions. Actually, this happened to me in a test session as well--my car had "automatic" selected for tires and it gave me wets. Game seems to think the track is snowpacked.

 

So I’ve been told this has been an issue for a while with this Eng and there’s nothing that can be done!? Might as well race against a Mario Kart also and bring the circus in

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Select different audio device than system default
Report: Before this version audio worked fine just by selecting my VR headset from AMS2 audio settings. Now I only hear menu sounds (no engine or track environment sounds) unless I select my headset as a system default audio device before starting AMS2.
Steps to reproduce: Use different audio device than system default

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: Cascais '88, Monza'91 (probably any other track as well)
Car Used: McLaren MP4/4, McLaren MP4/5B, McLaren MP4/6
Applicable Settings: None
Report: McLarens always start from the back of the Grid when loading into a session without qualifying (even if you set their qualy skill to 1.0 in custom AI file). Even if you set player custom starting position to a specific spot in one of the cars above, you'll start in last position on the grid.
Steps to reproduce: Select any of the cars above for a single race without qualifying, select a specific grid position for the player that isn't last. Player and AI driver of the cars above will start last.

 

Version: 1.4.5.2 (2245)
Track & Layout Used: Hockenheim 88
Car Used: Nissan RC89
Applicable Settings: None
Report: No engine sound & wheel centering

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: Any track that uses the low df variants.
Car Used: Nissan R89C (Low Downforce) and Nissan R390 GT1 (Low Downforce)
Applicable Settings: -
Report: The low df variants are using the normal variants skins.
Steps to reproduce: Select the cars in any track that uses the low df variants.

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: Monza, Hockenheim
Car Used: Nissan R89C (Low Downforce)
Applicable Settings: -
Report: The low df variant is still broken after the recent bugfix, my wheel shakes non stop and it also has no engine sounds. Using a G29.
Steps to reproduce: Select the car in Monza and Hockenheim, or any high speed track probably.

 

I'm not aware of a workaround for the ghost drivers. I tried adding custom outfit and helmet textures for one driver to see if those show up, but I don't think so.

 

Confirmed: no engine sound on Nissan R89C LD
Also: LD version cars is loaded on both Daytona Road courses.

 

I had similar issue with the sound when had I my VR HMD selected from the game. In my case I had menu sounds but no engine/environment sounds. Workaround: select the desired audio device as system default or configure AMS2 from Windows to use that device by default.

 

I think its a car specific problem, everything else I tried today had sounds normally, its just the RC89 low downforce.

 

The game thinks Imola 2001 has 'Snow' as Track Wetness, whatever date is selected, and wants to load wet tyres.

I don't *think* it affects the driving on slicks (tires warmed up after 3 laps on the new Nissan GT1, not sure if that's normal or not)

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: Nürburgring Nordschleife (noticed it here, did not test elsewhere yet)
Car Used: Chevrolet Corvette C8.R
Applicable Settings: I play in VR if that matters. Quest 2 headset.
Report: The dash of the car flickers a lot, especially it seemed to happen at "kesselchen" (not 100% sure of the names). It is pretty distracting in VR, especially at night.
Video of it happening:

Steps to reproduce: drive the car at Nordschleife

 

Good spot. not sure what that's about, just the real weather updates ui glitch or something more. Probably the former.

 

Check the car's fuse lol

 

This is a global issue I think, any car with Abs/Tc gets its electronic aids turned off when restarting a TT session.
Have to exit out to menu and back in just to have another run .

 

This bug: same track and car I reported just after launch of car. weird that some bugs have returned. including Black smoke shadows on tracks. Not seen for a while or seen reports till this build (though not impossible some made, just not seen here.

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: Long Beach
Cars Used: Formula Classic G1M1, Porsche 962C, Caterham Supersport
Applicable Settings: Race session with Track Limit Penalties On
Report: Following the Driving Line and/or AI through Turn 1 is detected as cutting the track, even when avoiding the inside curb entirely. Seems to only be an issue in a Race session, as no Track Limit penalties given for taking the same line during Qualifying.
Steps to reproduce: Set Driving Line to Always and enable AI opponents on Long Beach in a Race session. Then follow either of those closely through Turn 1.
Thoughts: Objectively-speaking it's an issue of consistency, between player/AI and qualifying/race. Subjectively I find it unreasonable to penalize drivers for generally taking that line through Turn 1, ruining an otherwise impressive track for me.
