Automobilista bug report thread (Please read the opening post)

Still having this issue. Will it be addressed in the upcoming patch?

 

Track & Layout Used: Virginia, any layout except Patriot
Car Used: Boxer Cup
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: AI cars bounce a lot when driving over green and yellow curbs, sometimes even roll over
Steps to reproduce: Do a race against AI on Virginia with Boxer Cup cars

 

Track & Layout Used: Hockenheim 1988 (but affects all tracks)
Car Used: F-Classic (but affects ALL cars using turbo physics!)
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: AI cars using turbo physics are much slower than players
Steps to reproduce: Easiest method below
In Test Day, run AI autopilot. On its timed lap, it should be hitting ~304 km/h as it passes the Fuzzy '88 sign to the left.
Now, run another lap, but this time deactivate the AI autopilot as it exits the first corner. You should be able to hit 310 km/h.
This doesn't sound like much on paper, but it means that AI cars using turbo engines are unfairly handicapped in the following cases:
- When driving the Honda-powered Metalmoro AJRs vs AJRs with other non-turbo engines (worst case scenario)
- When racing against players using turbo cars in spec series where all cars are turbo (ie. modern Puma, F-Classic, Lancers, etc)

This sounds like a fairly serious issue and I'm really sorry for reporting this so late, but would one of the physics developers be able to look into a potential fix for this?

 

This is not a global issue. Each car has to be individually adjusted so the AI resemble/replicate the real driver speed and cornering capabilities. The AI use a simplified version of the physics, so will never be identical to the player car. "Close enough" to be fun and occasionally fool us into thinking they are real is as good as it will ever get.

The various AJRs have completely different engine configurations, so will be different by design. If there is a specific car, like the F-Classic that cannot achieve the same top speed, report that (as you did above), but as we know from real F1, not all cars reach the same top speed. The slowest cars in lap time are often the fastest in top speed achieved, due to aerodynamic design and set-up differences.

What lap times do the F-Classics achieve compared to the player? How do they behave when you set the AI Strength % so their lap times match yours? It may be annoying if the player can always pass the AI on a long straight, but then the AI can out-turn them in the twisty sections, but unless it is a quite noticeable mismatch, there will not be an easy fix or time to fix the myriad examples of where the AI are not mirroring the player as well as we would like. Pick literally any track and car combination and you will find a spot where the AI are too good or too slow compared to the player (in every sim on the market). It's just a matter of degree and AMS generally has fewer glaring issues than other titles.

 

Car Used: Marcas
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer listening server
Report: HDV mismatch for client everytime joining server. A friend of mine and I have uninstalled, deleted both steam game and my documents automobilista folder and done fresh install, same problem. We both only use the exact same car .dds and .veh mod, no other custom files.

Steps to reproduce: start game, host a multiplayer server with Marcas, ask a friend to join, when he enters the game he get kicked for HDV mismatch

 

Screenfreeze on garage screen when both new tracks on AMS Beta are loaded. Had to kill AMS via Taskmanager. Older tracks work just fine.
Win10, no wheel connected.

problem still exists after 2. update

 

@PAL, Beta feedbacks should go on Reiza51 forum. You can post it here.

But I would suggest you to verify files integrity, as other players are driving on those tracks with no problems. Also, if you Alt+Tab after the freezing, can't you see any message box? Those can help pinpoint the issue.

 

@Heitor Facuri Cicoti
Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I bought AMS with all DLCs over Steam so I have no access to the beta forum.

EDIT: SOLVED! Thank you
There is no message in the background. Normally the arrow on the very low bottom right is going red when you are able to join the track. on my pc with the 2 new tracks the arrow stays grey but I can still move the cursor arround but cannot click on anything. The prozess stays at 15% cpu usage, but ram usage stays at 1.881MB. I waited 5 minutes but nothing happened.

I will report after integrety check.

UPDATE:
I let steam check the files and it found one file and downloaded around 65 kb.
now the tracks work!! thank you @Heitor Facuri Cicoti

 

The download was exactly 63,8 kb just for your information.

 

So I own the season pass but in the AMS beta it is telling me I need to buy the DLC for donington and Snetterton now. This wasn't the case before the latest update

 

Known issue, working on a fix

 

Saw that. Looks like the latest update broke it even more lol

 

Track & Layout Used: Donington
Car Used: Formula Truck
Report:
The roof of the Truck crash with the top of the exit of the garage
Steps to reproduce:
Select a Formula Truck on Donington and try to get out of the garage

 

Track & Layout Used: All tracks & layouts (from what I've tried)
Car Used: All cars (from what I've tried)
Applicable Settings: n/a
Report: When loading a replay to watch, the steering lock will revert to whatever the last steering lock was when you played. Eg. If I played with trucks at 900 degrees and then watch a replay of an F3 car where I drove with 360 degrees, the F3 car in the replay will show 900 degrees. It can work the opposite way too (last drove an F3 car with 360 degrees, load Porsche replay that's supposed to show 720 degrees I used when driving it but replay wheel now based on 360 degrees).
Steps to Reproduce: Drive a vehicle while taking note of the steering lock. Then load a replay of a vehicle that u used a much different steering lock when you drove it. You'll see the steering lock of the replay vehicle is very wrong and goes by the last car you drove (or the last steering lock adjustment you made in the options).

 

Urgent!!
Track & Layout Used: All
Car Used: All
Report:
G27 leds do not work after last update! Please correct this as soon as possible!
Steps to reproduce:
Only use g27 on AMS.

 

V 1.5.24r
Also include that "Auto Steering Rotation"doesn't work on G27.

1 - G27 Lights do not work.
2 - G27 Auto Steering Rotation Does Not Work
3 - Formula Classic - Wrong sounds.

Trace file attached.

 

Track & Layout Used: Donington GP
Car Used: Formula Truck
Applicable Settings: 10pm onwards
Report: Only the first two trucks on the grid have their headlights on. The other trucks race in darkness. My truck's headlights will not come on, although I have assigned the H key to them.
Steps to reproduce: 30min race, max graphics, normal time progression, 10pm or later, 10 trucks.

Other than that, the FTrucks are great fun at Donington in the day-time!
