Automobilista bug report thread (Please read the opening post)

Tested with the latest updates today. The property "additional hardware features" is set to 1.
Same as siri I'am not able to reproduce the ctd problem anymore. Seems like the latest updates fixed the issue.

 

This one is after a fresh install, no mods, even tried with a new profile.

 

Another addition: since the latest update, the 'FFB reset' key does not solve this random DFGT wheel rotation issue anymore. After restarting AMS, the wheel rotation is fine again, though. And luckily this issue seems to happen only once.

 

Report #1
Track & Layout Used: Possibly all (only tested Guapore, Velo Citta)
Car Used: Possibly all (only tested F301, F309, SuperKart)
Applicable Settings: FFB on (tried 360 Hz & Pure + effects 3). Issue does not happen if FFB off.
Report:

• when a track is finished loading (red bar filled up) there's an additional 5-10 second delay before the track actually loads (I thought my game froze the first time this happened) every time
• while in pit-menu (ie. garage), pressing bottom-right arrow to go on track results in 10 second delay every time
• while on track, pressing "escape" button on keyboard results in a 5 second delay every time

Steps to reproduce: load a track, go on track (ie. jump in car), exit from track back to pit-menu

Additional info: wheel used is Simucube 2 Pro.

Update 1
- bug also present in Time Trial mode (very long time to join track when click drive button)
- bug also happens when game is being un-paused or when "cancel" button is pressed from on-track escape menu

Update 2
- Uploaded trace file
The following have not resoled the issue:
- deleted PLR, controller, and most files in main AMS install folder followed by 2x Steam Integrity check.
- adjusted FFB strength, FFB boost, disabled/enabled auto-rotation
- shut down Simucube 2 True Drive software v1.0.10
- disabled all Fanatec LCD options in game options menu
Controller.INI
- Start Hardware Event Monitor = 0
- Use Additional Hardware Features = 0
- Hardware 3Digit Display = 0
- Fanatec LCD Toggle = 0
- Fanatec rumble override = 0, 1
- Fanatec controllers special features update rate = 0
- Fanatec OLED Interface= 0
- Logitech range set method AUTO = 0
- Logitech range set method = 1, 2, 3

Update 3
PROBLEM FOUND:
-unplugging SimRacingMachines Fanatec Wheelbase Side Conversion resolves issue

In the previous AMS build, I had a similar problem but with much shorter game-freezes (around 3 seconds). There was a resolution however: to set either "Start Hardware Event Monitor" or "Use Additional Hardware Features" to 0. In the most recent AMS build, those settings do not resolve the issue and I am stuck having to fully unplug/disable my Fanatec wheel-hardware.

This bug post has been updated with new info & a trace file - Automobilista bug report thread (Please read the opening post)

I would also like to report another bug which still exists:

Report #3
Track & Layout Used: All
Car Used: Seemingly all or most
Applicable Settings: Auto-rotation on & auto-rotation off
Report: default steering ratio of vehicle will be different depending on whether auto-rotation is on or off. Eg. F301 default steering ratio: auto-rotation on = 360/18, auto-rotation off = 360/14
Steps to reproduce: set auto-rotation on in main menu's options, load a track, and check garage's steering rotation and steering lock. Exit session back to game's main menu, set auto-rotation off, load session with same car, check steering rotation and steering lock.

 

Track & Layout Used: Snetterton 300 (maybe all tracks)
Car Used: F3 (F301)
Applicable Settings: race Weekend - qualifying
Report: Crash to Desktop when qualifying session ended (rest time on 00:00.00)
Steps to reproduce: qualifying till the end of the session.

NOTE: I had the same problem with F V10 before the last game update. I don't know if it still exists because I avoid to run till the end of qualifying session

 

I tried, but can't reproduce that. Can you post a video of that happening, or a trace file?

 

Sorry, I also couldn't reproduce it today. But I noticed, that when quali-session-time goes to 00:00.00 there's a very short but noticeable stocking. It's like searching for a file but not finding it or calculating something with an endless loop. Attached you will find the trace, maybe it helps

 

Track & Layout Used: Spielberg
Car Used: F V10
Applicable Settings: race weekend - qualifying
Report: crash to desktop during qualifying session
Steps to reproduce: ? there was no special situation or event (such as end of session…)

Last entry in trace: 13:52:27: tire_manager 1163: Tire brand doesn't have compound index -1
I was on track (final corner), so no tire change from myside

 

Track & Layout Used: Speedland (shortest indoor layout)
Car Used: 125cc Direct Drive
Applicable Settings: Race, 103% AI difficulty
Report: All, or most (over 90%), AI opponents retire over the course of a 24 minute race. It might be because of crashes and damage, but I think that's too much for that period.
Steps to reproduce: Do a 24 minute race.

 

Good evening, I wanted to warn you that there is no Snetterton track in the FTruck and Donnington is unable to get out of the pits, they are too low and the truck collides with the box ..

 

Updated following report with more information (ISSUE FOUND): Automobilista bug report thread (Please read the opening post)

 

Do you have the beta installed? It may be resolved already. I also have a Fanatec-related issue that was fixed but then reappeared in the last release (v.26), but was fixed for .v27 beta. Worth checking if you do because if it is not already fixed in the beta, then it is more problematic for you. I'm just patiently waiting for the release version that will fix my issue.

 

Exactly the same issue over here.

 

Track & Layout Used: different tracks (native and mod´s)

Car Used: different cars (native and mod´s)

Applicable Settings: multiplayer and testday, windows 10, logitech g27 (profiler reinstalled)

Report: ffb doesn´t work at all and the steering rotation changes in the middle of the lap

Steps to reproduce: just go to the track, the ffb never works, the steering wheel just try to go back to the center (like a cheap wheel without ffb).
Sometimes the steering rotation simply changes in the middle of the lap. I like to use 360, and suddenly it just change and appears to be at 900. I press the "reset ffb" button and it get back to the 360.

 

Na, I don't have the beta at all. I don't even mind if it's actually fixed or not; as long as setting either "Start Hardware Event Monitor" or "Use Additional Hardware Features" to 0 fixes it like in the previous AMS public release then I'm more than happy with that.

Setting "Start Hardware Event Monitor" to 0 comes at literally no cost anyways because the Fanatec LED - at least when using it via the SimRacingMachines adapter - doesn't work directly from AMS (even in the previous public release). FanaLEDs or SLIMax needs to be used so "Start Hardware Event Monitor" is not needed for anything.

 

Track & Layout Used: Montreal GP 2015
Car Used: Formula Reiza
Applicable Settings: race weekend - race session, instant replay
Report: crash to desktop during watching instant replay at the end of the session
Steps to reproduce: ? there was no special situation or event (such as end of session…)

It's me again, same problem as last time with F V10 at Spielberg.
Last entry in trace: tire_manager 1163: Tire brand doesn't have compound index -1
Race was already finished. It seems a problem with tire limit. Tire limit was set on 5.

 

@alink I tried this. I ran a 10 lap race on Montreal GP 2015 against 10 AI. I watched/skipped through the replay then let it play the last 1 minute all the way to the end. I was then was able to exit replay mode and go back to the main AMS screen.
