You are basically describing how Kunos/ACC manages their forum. They tag the post as "Bug", "Fixed", etc..."

 

Does it really? There have been numerous audio and UI issues in that game forever that haven't been fixed.

Report: Texture problem with the track
Steps to reproduce:

 

That has nothing to do with bug report handling.

Reiza already knows about 99.9% of the highly repetitious things posted here. Whether or when they fix them has nothing to do with this forum or how many times something is reported. It's based on their work schedule and resources.

A better process helps those reporting, if they bother to scan and see what has already been reported. That is a lot of work for a user, but the system here is essentially impossible to work with as a user. So, people just dump their comments and reports...which probably suits Reiza fine since there are almost never any bugs reported here that aren't already well known. If there is a new or important bug, it typically gets discussed in the beta threads or the new/update release threads.

Is it worth deploying a better system for user reports? As a user, I say yes. As a reader of the forum, I say I doubt it will have a big impact on reducing the number of duplicate reports--they'll just be in the form of threads instead of posts. But if I wanted it for the purpose of "making the devs listen and respond" then it would be a total waste of time and resources. Reiza will fix every bug that is possible to fix in the shortest possible time. Their work ethic is unparalleled. But they also have fewer resources than most, so some times it takes a while for things to come together into a satisfactory conclusion.

Report: There is no yellow flag indication to warn of any incident ahead. The green flag indication is shown when I get past an incident, but the yellow flag is not shown before.

Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: None
Report: The tire wear simulation is basically non-existent. Even with the tires 'completely gone' according to telemetry, I didn't feel any difference in the handling of the car and it didn't affect my race pace. It also doesn't seem to affect the AI pace as well.

 

Good list, but I found strange the two Level 5 issues.

At least in single player mode, I can refuel at the pit stop, selecting the amount of fuel I want and in the tests I did, the AI does pit for refuel.

I did an 80 lap race at Brands Hatch with Formula Ultimate cars. With a full tank, the car can only do 67 laps, which would make refueling mandatory to finish the race. The AI cars started with different amounts of fuel and all of them pitted for refueling when there was only one lap of fuel remaining.

 

Game Version/Build: 1.0.0.2.1220
Track & Layout Used: Spilberg
Car Used: Formula Ultimate
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: When I try to select a ghost car, the game won't let me. It shows me a list, but I cannot click in any of them. When I click "Back", instead of taking me back 1 screen, it takes me back to the Home screen.
Picture attached.

 

If you look carefully at your screenshot, you will notice there is no "car icon" on the far right column in the list. From what I understand, this usually means the recorded sessions are not valid, corrupted, missing, etc..

IMHO, it would be a better experience if the names and the entire row would be light gray/disabled with a "not available" message instead of missing icon.

 

Which would be fine if it also assigned the same car to the opposition !

 

Game Version/Build: 1.0.0.2.1220
Track & Layout Used: All
Car Used: Ginetta G55
Applicable Settings: Single Race
Report: It appears that the reset to default setup isn't working correctly. On all tracks my G55 now resets to a Cascais setup. If I change it, it defaults back next time I enter the pits. The setup for Cascais it uses looks as though it's a time trial set as fuel is set to 1L. Perhaps downloading another users setup on time trial has caused this as I hadn't noticed it previously.

 

Game Version/Build: 1.0.0.2.1220
Track & Layout Used: Goiana External
Car Used: Stock Toyota
Applicable Settings: Round 1 championship
Report 1: Already reported, though I will add that the vehicle used in championship mode is the vehicle currently selected in single race mode, not necessarily the last vehicle driven.
Report 2: Unable to refuel at pit stop. Tried to pit again the next lap after modifying pit strategy in ICM, and again no fuel. Tyres were changed and damaged repaired ok.
Report 3: AI cars upon being lapped aggressively blocking despite large speed differential at various points on the track, causing collisions and sending me off track several times.
Edit: Report 4: Strange engine audio when pit limiter active. When pit limiter is active it sounds as if the engine is cutting fuel as you would expect, however this happens even if throttle isn't applied, or engine is at idle.
