Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Minor observation
Track & Layout Used: Monza 1991
Car Used:GroupC/ GT1
Applicable Settings: Single Race. Standing start.
Report: 1st chicane at start. Very difficult for pack (24 AI) to negotiate the chicane without crashes/bumping. Finding it almost impossible to get through this section without damage if not first. It is quite narrow, but I like this section better than the new track. Maybe get AI to chill it through this bit, force single file?

Steps to reproduce Monza 1991 and Group C, first turn after start of race.

 

I have this same issue and it is driving me crazy.

 

Track & Layout Used: Azure Circuit
Car Used: Copa Uno, Copa Fusca (seems to happen in any car)
Applicable Settings: None
Report: When passing any large curb (bagel), if the car flew up, then when the wheels fall on the asphalt there will be a sharp acceleration. Acceleration occurs even when the gas pedal is fully released.
FPS stable 80-90, CPU 35%, GPU 40%
Steps to reproduce: Drive the Copa Uno and moving any azure bagel in chicanes sector 3 or 2

 

Track & Layout Used: Road America
Car Used: FUG2
Applicable Settings: None
Report: Car don't hold custom setup. When I go back to the garage, the setup reset to default.

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: any track
Car Used: Formula V12 or any car that revs over 8000rpm
Applicable Settings: engine braking set to 6-10
Report: The engine braking seems to be bugged on many cars, especially those that rev over 8000rpm. The engine braking seems to cause engine damage to many open wheelers where engine damage is limited, so setting it to a higher number (lower engine braking) helps a car make the distance.

The major issue with this is that when you set engine braking between 6-10 and rev the engine the revs don't drop, instead they go up endlessly until the engine burns out... If the car idles around 8000 it revs up by itself...

Steps to reproduce: Take any high revving car and set the engine braking to 10 and rev the engine in the pits...

If there's an underlying engine bug at the source of this it might be worth setting the engine braking to have a maximum of 5 on the higher revving cars until the code is sorted...

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: any low downforce track
Car Used: Nissan R89c
Applicable Settings: Livery override
Report: A livery override for the Group C Nissan causes a bug on low downforce tracks where the liveries revert to the red bugged version and the AI for Nissan cars do not show up... Yet work fine on high downforce tracks...
Steps to reproduce: Set up a livery override for any Nissan car and go to a low downforce track like Monza...

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: Jerez 1988(seems to happen in any track)
Car Used: Lotus 98T. F ultimate G2
Applicable Settings: ?
Report: fuel is not the same from practice to qualification continues to the race
Steps to reproduce: Costom race, preset seliction.
only change is fuel and tyres
practice fuel says 195l. (63 Laps).
advance to quali go on track and com back to pit fuel says 195l. (83 Laps)
advance to race fuel says 195l. (83 Laps)
if you restart race going to setup it says 195l. (63 Laps).

side note: looking at the picture the front tyres change pressure from 1.5 to 1.48 back tires from1.33 to 1.32 i didn't change that?

ps. see this Setup page fuel calculation accuracy

 

Report: Inaccurate fuel estimate on the setup screen at Kansai GP in the McLaren GT4. I set the fuel to 21 laps in an 18-lap race but that ended up underfueling me by 4 laps.

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: Hockenhiem
Cars in question: Nissan R390 GT1 and Porsche 911 GT1 98
Applicable Settings: maximum graphic settings.
Report: Both cars have issues with their LODs... The Nissan disappears at a certain distance and the Porsche is missing it's front section until it's close enough...
Steps to reproduce: Might only be the longtail versions of both cars that suffer this... Just drive down the long straights of Hockenheim and watch the Nissan disappear and the Porsche come up from behind looking like it's had a crash until it's close enough...

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: Spa 1993 (Happens on every track)

This black shadows still appear in the nighttime. Sometimes they pop up sometimes they don't. Last time I did a race in sunny conditions and they appeared everywhere. It must have something to to with the transition from day to night. I think in cloudy conditions they appear less often.

 

this is definitely not a bug, pit stop refuelling depends on race settings.
try to start a new race and be sure to allow pit stop refuelling, you'll find it under "race settings".

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: N/A
Cars in question: Brabham BT52
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report: Front spring rates are not symmetrical i.e. 100N/mm left 90N/mm right. (symmetrical values ticked).
Steps to reproduce: N/A

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: Chevrolet Camaro SS
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report: Info says it's an H pattern, but it's sequential.
Steps to reproduce: N/A

 

I am on a Thanos/SRS Motion platform after the december patch (Mclaren Mp4/4/5/6) all Classic Formula Gen 2 3 and 4 no longer works. basically the telemetry is making all the F1 car shaky at idle but all the new cars (mclaren are working just fine)

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: Daytona Road Course
Car Used: DPi
Applicable Settings: multiplayer
Report: Pit strategies refused to save. I had to remake the same pit strategy right before the race, and it didn't save my tire choice. I only caught it before my pitstop, otherwise it would've not replaced my tires.
Steps to reproduce: N/A

 

It is an H-pattern, but the allowances for rev-matching are unrealistically wide so you can effectively drive it like a sequential if you want to cheat. I am sure this will get adjusted soon...some other vehicles just had their tolerances brought into the realistic range in the last update.

 

But inside the car you can see it has paddle shifters and a sequential shifter. I'm trying all the cars of the game in a circuit and I realized about this. When you change gear the pilot uses the paddles.

 

Version: 1.4.5.2
Track & Layout Used: Any track
Car Used: Any car
Applicable Settings: multiplayer
Report: Custom pit stragey randomly does NOT work. It should have changed tires when i entered the pits, but only acted as a "stop and go". What i did before the bug happened:
- Selected my custom pit strategy during qualifying.
- Edited pit strategy and selected it manually again during the 2 minute pre-race countdown.
- Manually requested pitstop, then opened the ICM and made sure i have the correct strategy selected which would have changed 4 tires
- I had 2 custom strategies saved in total.
- The ICM menu was opened as i entered the pits, on the screen where you can select your pit strategies.
Steps to reproduce: Enter the pits with any car on any track, and this bug will randomly happen at random - your pit crew will REFUSE to change your tires for the duration of the whole race.
It happened to me after hundreds of hours of playing the game. It is a miniscule probability of it happening, but every time it happens it ruins the experience completely.

 

That happens with other cars as well. The SprintRace should be a sequential stick shift if I'm correct but the pilot uses the paddles.
Means that the animation is not adapted then.

 

The graphical model is of the automatic transmission version (a 10-speed). The physics are the 6-speed manual. There are a couple of other mismatches in the game, too, so don't get too excited
