Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Version: 1.4.6
Report:
This is not an in game bug, sort of. I am unable to run custom championships that have a two-race format, as I will set a custom date for the first race, but the date for the second race for some reason is set back to months before, usually in winter. For example for a Group A race at Imola, I set the date to 5/30/1990, and in the championship the race happens on that date but for some reason the second race is set to take place on 3/24/2019. I’m unable to change this in the championship editor. Also when loading the second race directly after the first, the landscape and trees around the track are missing, requiring a game restart.

Applicable settings: i believe I created these championships before version 1.4.6 was released, so that might be a factor.

Apologies for not quite folllowing the format as this is not really an in-game issue. Hope this can get looked at in a future release.

Edit to add: deleted the relevant custom championship files in the AMS2 Documents folder, tried to make a two-race championship, and again the date of the second race is off from the first.
The dates match up in the session setting screen but in the second race settings the date is incorrect and greyed out.

 

Track & Layout Used: Indy oval (seems to happen on any track)
Car Used: formula USA (all cars)
Applicable Settings: default setup or when adding positive camber on the left side of the car/s
Report: positive camber is not visible on the wheels of the car at all regardless of how much positive camber is added
Steps to reproduce: load formula usa cars (any) and add positive camber to the left front or left rear tires.
in game photo with left front camber set to +4.6 and left rear set to +1.4

actual photo for comparison

 

Track & Layout Used: Donington National (seems to happen on any track)
Car Used: Ginetta G55 Supercup (seems to happen with any car)
Applicable Settings: Online Race with AI, no ready up before racestart
Report: When you spectate a different driver through the pit timetable screen as the qualifying ends, you start the race and are locked in this driver's POV
Steps to reproduce: Go to multiplayer, create a race without ready up and spectate a different driver through the timetable camera icon when the qualifying session ends.

 

There are actually multiple .exe files, I think STEAM is in control which one to launch depending on the used hardware.
Could be a steam issue when determinating what exe to use for any given CPU ?

 

Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: McLaren 720S GT3
Applicable Settings: Cockpit View
Report: Something doesn't feel right. It feels like your head is right on top of this car's ceiling.

Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: Porsche 911 GT3
Applicable Settings: Chase View
Report: The chase view for this car is still offset.

EDIT: For the McLaren, turns out I adjusted the cockpit view some time ago and I forgot. My bad.

 

Yeah, even running the AVX.exe directly just switched to non AVX - it's all working now on a new build of W10 Pro instead of Win11 so probably something in my previous OS build broke

(Note - Previously removing AMS completely and re installing didn't fix it)

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer
Report: Camera gets changed from in-cockpit to bumper forcing users to reset their camera.
Steps to reproduce: start a MP race.

 

Track & Layout Used: Fontana Road Course
Car Used: Ultimate Street Hyper Car

Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: Porsche & Corvette GTE

BMW m1 Procar and Porsche RSR 74:

Still no drivers in car when using custom liveries.

Not exactly a bug but, why would we need full stops in this page?

 

Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: N/A
Applicable Settings: Race Preset Selection options
Report: UI bug where event presets are being selected incorrectly
Steps to reproduce: Select any event preset at the Preset Selection screen after "Formula Ultimate Sprint 2022" and it will apply an incorrect event preset. Probably due to DLCs not being installed

bug:

so if I want the actual BMW M1 Procar event preset, I gotta click on German Group A so it refers to the former:


The first event preset on the list that points to a different one is "Formula 3 Brasil" which points to a Formula USA preset, which is a DLC I don't have. So it's probably linked to missing DLC content.

It's a big problem with the last 4 presets on the list since it's impossible to select them, as the last possible preset (ARC Camaro) refers to Copa Classic:

 

Track & Layout Used: Curvelo (short), Londrina (short)
Car Used: Opala 79
Applicable Settings: Mechanical Failures=YES; Random Failures = 10x; 20 AI cars, custom AI with all 20 AI drivers <vehicle_reliability> set to 0.
Report: I ran a 24 lap race at each circuit and on both occasions, all the AI cars had multiple mechanical problems (2-4 pitstops when only 1 was required for fuel) and at Curvelo, only 5 AI finished, at Londrina only 9 finished, the rest all retired. However, at both races, I did not suffer a single mechanical problem (that I perceived - the car ran at top speed for all of both races).

Not sure if this is an actual bug, is by design (presumably not - I'm assuming the player's car is also supposed to vulnerable to random failures), or just coincidence that only my car didn't suffer any problems during 48 laps in total, whilst every AI car suffered numerous.

I did set the <vehicle_reliability> to 0 for all AI, so was trying to get them to have failures, but do not have the option to set my own vehicles reliabilty to 0.

 

Still happens in
V1.4.6.4

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: McLaren F1 GTR
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: The windscreen banner on any livery does not render when on track in cockpit or hemet view. At one time about a year ago it did.
Steps to reproduce: load up the car on any track in cockpit or helmet view.

*It may not be a big issue but I would personally appreciate it being fixed. It is my favorite car at the moment and I spend alot of time in it.

Thank you.

 

After the update I joined a race with its rival on the class, the Corvette.


Version: 1.4.6.4
Track & Layout Used: Road America
Car Used: Chevrolet Corvette C3 R from GT Classics
Applicable Settings: Offline and Online
Report: Unlike other cars, the changes you make to the setup are not kept, they get lost between sessions, and sometimes even during a session. You are forced to save them and load them every time. Plus, values shown get locked up at strange values, specially gear ratios, and you have to go back and forth on them to get them normalized. Also, the buttons of the UI when asking to save data or replace get bugged and letters inside them (like OK or Cancel) are not displayed, buttons being blank.

Seems like this class has some sort of common bug between them. Nice cars though, lovely to drive.
