Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

The ‘mandatory pit stop’ bug, looks like it still hasn’t been resolved. Had mandatory pit stops in a 30 min race, pitted, & then got disqualified for not pitting!!! Maybe I missed something, since the last update, but this needs to get patched, asap. Btw, loving the game, and the devs are doing a fantastic job; here’s the report:
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: M6
Applicable Settings: 30 min race against AI; mandatory pit stops selected
Report: Pitted for fuel, about 20 mins into the race during the pit window. Two laps before the end, got a warning to pit for the mandatory pit stop, & got disqualified; brilliant race completely ruined
Steps to reproduce: Play the game with mandatory pit stops set. You’ll get disqualified, even if you’ve already pitted.

 

Car Related Bug: Formula Ultimate Gen2
I was going over the car and marking spots to label in the template, and I noticed the DRS portion of the rear wing is not lined up with the rest of the rear wing.

 

Formula HiTech Gen 2 Model 3:
DRS switches off if you do not constantly have your finger on the button.
In other cars, you just press the button once and then once again in order to switch it off.

Edit: In another thread, I have heard that is a feature, not a bug.

 

Formula HiTech Gen1 and USA2023 (maybe others as well): Long Beach: Real weather => when you crash and restart session sometimes the cares exelerate out of them selves.

 

Track & Layout Used: Monza 1991, Hockenheim 1988
Car Used: McLaren MP4/8 Low Downforce Version
Applicable Settings: Practice
Report: Low Downforce Version FFB feels completly different (much weaker) compared to the Normal Version of the Car
Steps to reproduce: Switch between Low Downforce Version, Normal Version and drive

 

Track & Layout Used: Long Beach
Car Used: Ginetta G58 G2
Applicable Settings: Custom Race / Race
Report: during quali TC and ABS were working, then in race only ABS was working. TC was greyd out in HUD. After the race I exited to the menu, restarted, and again in quali both were working, then in race only ABS was working.

 

(this is either a bug or i have some fundemental misunderstanding on how weather affects tyre wear)

Track & Layout Used: Nordschleife 2020
Car Used: BMW M1 Procar
Applicable Settings: Tyre wear: Authentic
Report:
When the weather is set to e.g. light cloud + surface default progression - i can drive the entire lap of the track (often powersliding out of multiple corners) and at the end of it my HUD tyre wear indicator almost never gets below 90% (and you can't feel any significant tyre wear in FFB or car behaviour).
What i described above feels correct to me.
However: when the weather is set to e.g. light rain + surface damp - after a few corners the HUD tyre wear indicator is at e.g. 75% (also reflected in FFB and car behaviour). If i start a new session and just do one hard braking - the tyres are at 50% or less (also reflected in FFB and car behaviour).

 

Car Used: Formula Hi Tech Gen 2 Model 1
Report: The driver clips through the car slightly when turning the wheel.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any with ABS
Applicable Settings: ABS default at 8
Report: ABS is triggered in tight corners when brake is not used. Typically coming out of corners ABS is triggered. I notice it because I have a Bass shaker effect. But you can also see ABS light turn on in cars.
Steps to reproduce: Drive any car with ABS, brake hard before corner (ABS activates as it should) and accelerate out of corner (ABS triggers, as if it was TC or something?)

 

In Formula Junior the sound is flickering, when I look back the sound is heard well.

PS: Please! return the animation to automatic shifting, this help the immersion.

 

Version: 1.5.3.4
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Porsche 911 RSR 3.0 (
Report: When you collide with a Porsche GT Classic, black things appear inside (I don't know if the same thing happens to other cars.)
Steps to reproduce: Crash.

 

This black windshield bug also happens with GT4 Mercedes and BMW after you crash.

 

Agree it sounds awfull.
But are you sure its not one of the Windows "advanced" sound settings that is influencing?
Just saying this because I have seen such reported "bugs" before.

 

I tried everything, I actually use a small Fiio as a sound card and I thought it could be the problem, I tried it with the integrated sound of the motherboard and it was still the same, but I realized that it only happens (for now) with Formula Junior, because the other cars I have available sound good.

 

The GTL league had another mass dropout tonight (multiple drivers dropping connection in rapid succession)
(Formula Hi Techs - Interlagos 91 - 21 drivers)
All drivers had ping <200
We had one the previous Monday also.

1.5.3 brought out reporting for Multiplayer - how do we report these mass dropouts ?
Please advise

 

This is still happening and I think it's a big issue, at least for Logitech users. I am on a G923 and without having a great custom FFB file, I couldn't enjoy this game. I can set damping to 100 and the pendulum effect is still there. I tried default and default+ FFB after every physics update and came back to rFuktor 5.0.1.4 by Stakanov (I think it's ATMOS 1.4 Fix with YAW).

The default FFBs do feel improved, but in every turn, the wheel wants to snap too hard and too far in the opposite direction. I've never driven a real race car, but I bet a race driver wouldn't do a lap when steering feels like this. With Stakanov's file, it feels like my hatchback, sometimes like a bit too much power steering, but it's the best FFB I can get in any sim, it's just natural effects I can react to.
If the default FFB would be more like this, I am pretty sure all the Logitech users would stick to the game. It is the best sim, if first-timers could feel this, AMS2 would sit on the throne

 

Your report is completely counter to my experience using the default ffb presets. At 50% Damping (in-game ffb), my wheel is quite stable and controlled, hands off is no problem at all, no sign of ffb-overshoot.

Note: One critically important factor is the Direct-Input ffb settings in the wheel driver software. If those (Especially Damping) are set at 0%, the Damping slider in AMS2 ffb will have no effect.

 

This sounds like inverted FFB. Older sims used to have a checkbox for logitech wheels to fix this. Although it's never been an issue with basic/default/default+ on my driving force GT in AM2

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Motion Blur set to 'off' in Options
Report: The Tracking Speed slider in Photo Mode is non-functional when motion blur is off in Options.
Prior to V1.5.3.2 it was still functional with this configuration

 

Unfortunately, Logitech G Hub Software doesn't give many options, there is no damping slider, just gain and sensitivity. I never touched these sliders, so this is all set to default as all developers recommend.

It doesn't feel inverted, there are the right effects but the dynamics aren't right. For example, if I turn 30° to the left and try to slowly center the wheel out of the corner, there is a strong force that pushes the wheel 40° to the right. It's not that self-aligning caster feel.

I just double checked it, with default FFB and damping slider set to 50 or even 100, the pendulum effect still occurs. Default+ is a bit better, the damping slider reduces the pendulum effect much more, but overall it feels more like ACC, the effects that would be helpful are overshadowed by some artificial strong ones.

Maybe this wheel is special and you can't compare it to other Logitechs or other brands wheels. I don't know if there's much info from Logitech given to developers, it seems hard to properly support the G923 because it's translating numbers not as "logical" as other wheels, and some custom files just hit the right numbers.
