Featured Automobilista 2 V1.6.5 RELEASED!

Woohoo! Will get onto this tomorrow

 

I love this sim but why the huge loss in fps? I went from 120 (capped fps) to 54??

 

Au par avant l'intérieur de la jante n'était pas floutée/blurrée lorsque la roue était en rotation.

 

Thanks !

@Bealdor also thanks for the screenshot !

 

I'm also getting slightly lower FPS but not as much as your drop.

 

Feels great after a few races in the HyperCars, V10 F1 and GT4s graphics are so good as well! It’s a pleasure to see in motion

 

Thank you, thank you
But now there is a weird triangular shaped building at the end of the front straight that pops in.

 

It's great to have a new release and see more and more improvements.

We are near to finish our first championship with the Retro Gen1 cars, and it's noticeable that the Retro v12 is slower than the other cars. Could it be revised for the future? I'm not saying that the car have to be as fast as the others, but if it were closer to the rest of the cars, somebody would use it. As is it doesn't have any opportunity.

 

I love you.

 

Some good stuff here!

Hopefully soon we can change the AI mistake frequency in multiplayer (You can see it in the UI but there's no option to change it). This sim is almost perfect for a multiplayer with AI racing experience.

 

Be sure to submit a proper bug report!

 

Thank you for the update a welcome surprise. Enjoying the subtle changes to the tyres they feel even better to me. Quick question: what is Z-Fighting?

 

Is it just me? but steam says I have 6.6gb of info already downloaded... then it says "patching" and it is taking like 2 hours to "patch" the files into the game? really crazy!
Btw steam sales if anyone is missing any DLC they're on discount, great opportunity!

 

Yeah, it is in the 2nd post of this thread as well. Where I live it is 3,69€ for the base game, that's absolutely crazy value.

 

Yeah here it's also 3,69€ in Portugal. Man stuff has gotten so damn expensive here in the last few years (i used to be 0,500kg of spaghetti for like 0,50 cents now it's 1,2€) that in general, it's hard for me to find food and basic items to buy in the supermarket that are less expensive than current sale price on AMS2. In many places a box of 12 eggs size L will cost that same price.
I wanted to offer AMS2 to my gf but she doesn't really want it since she barely plays anything related w driving games in her PC:

 

There's a big rendering issue introduced in this update:
It seems like the newly "implemented level-of-detail crossfades in the renderer for foliage and grass shaders" totally broke tree rendering in the background.

Significantly reduced Z-Fighting on painted road lines that occurs on large tracks

This is really a big one for VR users. Also on the tracks multiple popping and z-fighting fixes. Really good work.

Implemented level-of-detail crossfades in the renderer for foliage and grass shaders

Just had a online race in Monza, at a spot where I normally get a slight framedrop; I didn't get it this time. I have the feeling that the above fixed this. So I don't share that the fps is less, it seems to be better here.

 

Thanks for the update

 

When two or more textures with roughly the same distance to the camera are "fighting" for which one of them has to be in the foreground. This will be perceived as some form of flickering.
