Automobilista bug report thread (Please read the opening post)

This is from a practice livestream, you can clearly hear another engine sound appearing from nowhere

At 22:46 you can hear another engine sound.

 

Another symptom. The game starts after the Reiza introduction, on the main menu, with Stock Cars selected as series. If I leave at that, it doesnt crash. As soon I choose to test, race or whatever, it crashes. If I try go to multiplayer or game options, it crashes. In other words. As soon I jump from the initial menu option with the Stock Cars selected to anything else, the game crash straight to desktop.
Same thing when I try to creat a new profile. As soon I create the name, the difficult level flashes very briefly, and the game crashes.

And again, my logitech profiler launches automatically with the game, and the Steam only recognize that the game is properly closed when I close down the profiler after the crash.

 

We always restart the server a few hours before a league race, didnt restart at the moment of these issues tho since some guys prefered to move the race to next week. Seeing the lobby issues I just prefered to do that too.
The race is canceled at the 34 minutes mark, what happened later I dont know, didn't check the ghost cars report, I was already out.
Could be our server as well, once a year we have issues and no restarts will solve it (one of the reasons I didn't try). That's why I was looking for other people that had same issues reporting here
We never had this sound issue tho, mass dc and lags yes, crazy sounds from other cars never.

 

We call the cars 'ghost cars' and 'invisibles cars' because we hear stranges sounds without any car close at us

Go at 22.46 you can hear it very well

 

Im starting to think that maybe the Logitech stuff may have something to do with it.
I tried to remove 2 files called LogitechWingManFF from the Controllers folder, and start the game.
Still crash the same way, and the 2 files are created again.
As I said before, the profiler is lanching automatically with the game, something that never happened.
Also, most of the Logitech files inside the Controllers folder, have recent dates of modification, like it changes everytime I start the game.

Really frustranting. Dying to give the new track a go, and cant.

 

I refer to the flickering fixes that have been done for various tracks in ver 1.4.7.. Great job Reiza!! Thanks!
As these tracks have been addressed, I am hoping one more track can be fixed too. I don't know if this is already known as a bug:
Track & Layout Used: Imola 1972
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings:
Report: Flickering on overhead bridge
Steps to reproduce:

 

No,not root adm. i just have installed the game in D: as my C drive is full (I did the same with several games without issues). Strange is the installation created two folders: one inside the steam folder (common, apps,..) and a second one directly in D under the name Automobilista with the user profile.

 

The second folder is supposed to be in your My Documents folder. The game will be crashing because it can not write to this folder most likely.

How do you have your My Documents setup?

 

My documents is in D:, shall I copy The second folder in there??

 

What is the full path to my docs? Moving it won't be much use as the game has got confused for some reason.

 

My PC/Data(D/MyDocs (this is not my documents in C
The user data path is My PC/Data(D/Automobilista/
The game is D/AMS/Steamapps/common/Automobilista

 

So if you right click on documents in windows, and on location, on this page it says:

Code:

D:\MyDocs\

?


I have mine setup similar with out issues as you can see... Is there some other info about your PC that might be strange which would be confusing it.

If you fire up the config app, it should point there like this:



Could you provide similar images to make sure we're clear?

 

As requested

 

Erm, sorry but those images are not loading for me.

 

Best take this to PM

 

I want know because I can't play vs AI clean.
In 95% when I go to pass and we are in parallel, he crash me, in safety car they pass me and crash me but I can't go more fast because the game penalisation me.
I don't understand.. I can't play vs AI. Always he crash me

 

Dear Marcos, I think your question must be go separate thread about the AI. AI is changed a lot in the last weeks.
Automobilista is a hardcore simracing game, so the AI is hardcore too The overtaking not so easy than in an arcade game and it can be frustrating some times.
If you want fair rolling start, than skip the formation lap, otherwise they are escaping before green flag (this is a bug, I think).
In the recent 1.4.47r version the AI is not that bad. They are fighting, they are competitive with each other, and some times they are blind and dumb This happens in online races too.
There is the way, I am practising overtaking:
Set the AI level so, that you 1-2 sec faster in practice then the AI. Set aggression to med, track to med or heavy rubber. Choose an easy to drive car, with lot of grip like the MCR Sport 2000 or a Caterham Superlight Sequential. If you do not have the Brit pack (it is a must have!) than download the URD Corvette, it is "sticky" like hell and it sounds like hell .
Start a 5 lap race with 15 AI cars without practice and quali, start from the last place. You should be the first in the end of the race. Analyze your accidents in replay from top-down view and you will see, that not always the AI is the bad guy . Do not try to win the race in the first corner or the first lap. Be calm and smooth.
Have fun with AMS, don't stress yourself!

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings:
Report: Ai run off the track (to the grass) when try to lap another ai car so htey loose a lot of time there. also when they are lapping sometimes they stuck too long behind the lapped car. More details according Craigbowie: "i also found that when the AI overtake a lapped car they get very messy IE the faster car drives off the circuit to pass the slower car which does not slow down to let the faster car through. The slower lapped car tends to stay in the middle of the track. When the faster cars try to lap and drive off the circuit they generally spin out... this was happening no matter what level of aggression i was using.. i tried from lowest to highest settings"

Moreover when ai try to lap another ai but the overtake proccess has been failed the the lapped car reovertake the leader then the lapped car ignore further blue flag and fighting with the leader.
