=== HEADLIGHT "BUG" CRIPPLES FRAMERATE ===
Ive noticed that as soon as it hits 1840hrs during a race and the headlights turn on, effective framerates are literally crippled by about 40-60%, ONLY if one has cars following behind in a pack of several.
This makes it impossible for us who are already pushing our pc's to the limit to stay above a useable framerate. Due to this behaviour day/night cycle races are not possible which is a true shame as we all know how good they are.

To illustrate clearer,

- The last car in the group is completely unaffected by the headlights as there are no shadows cast from behind.

- The race leader is the most affected due to all shadows being cast ahead from behind, the closer that the trailing cars behind are, the more affected the car in front is.

This is DEFINITELY not a graphical setting that can be changed in game. Ive tested this extensively for many hours in fact and know for certain that regardless of the in game settings, the impact of the headlights is EXACTLY the same.

Steps to reproduce: Start race on Kansai/Kyalami/Bathurst at 1800hrs. Set time progression to 20x. Spectate/Monitor AI for 2mins until the general time reaches 1840hrs and notice the massive drop in FPS when the headlights turn on.
Notice the difference in framerate between race leader and last position.


Is there a way these shadows can be disabled in a file edit?
This could greatly improve the user experience for many.

Cheers

 

Since release of the track, AI who drive to pits in Imola 88 or 2001, ram cars off track which are braking for last chicane, huge carnage. Same in Montreal. Will this ever be fixed?

 

AMS2 refuses to accept mouse or keyboard inputs after an online multiplayer race after I got thrown back to the lobby screen. The program is not frozen e.g. I could still see people chatting in the chat box, but couldn't reply/scroll/quit the lobby, nothing worked. The only thing I could do is kill the process in the task manager and start up the game again. Happened to me twice so far after the 1.3.0.1 release....

Not sure how to reproduce. It was a big fixed setup online lobby with 30 players at Imola with Ultima GTR.

 

Track & Layout Used: Donington GP, but I guess it doesn't depend on the track.
Car Used: McLaren 570s GT4
Applicable Settings: Cockpit Cam or Helmet Cam, Helmet off; Field of View 70 or 75; Head Movement 25; G-Force Effect 20
Report: You can see a part of the helmet or head and neck support coming into the view at the bottom, looks really buggy. I had this in other cars too if I move the seat position back too far, but I had it on zero, and -0.01 on the Y-axis in this case.
Steps to Reproduce: N/A

 

Build: 1.3.0.1
Can’t change driver profile details. Cannot edit name, country or press ‘Continue’

 

Build: V1.3.0.1
Track & Layout Used: Kyalami modern GP
Car Used: Dalara F3
Applicable Settings: Single race, with practise and qualifying. Full AI grid @ 100%
Report: Several AI cars on the practise session outlap went wide on the first corner and failed to return to the track but crashed into the barrier further down on the turn 2 kink. Wheels and other debris remained on the track for the rest of the session. Other cars then proceeded to crash into the debris. Some debris remained suspended in mid air.
The following qualifying session some debris remained on track. Cars that had crashed and lost wheels in the first session began the qualifying session without those same wheels but drove around as if they had no damage.
Comment: Definately a hangover from PC2 and the Madness engine. Is this unfixable because how long has it been hanging around now for?

Experiencing similar issue. I can map Sequential shifter buttons in game with my DD1 (Button 4/5) but the game will not use them even, in cars with Sequential gearboxes.

 

The issue with double liveries still is in game!

 

Still getting duplicate Liveries in custom championship mode for version 1.3

 

This is an old issue inherited from PC2. Hopefully one that can be fixed.

 

Track VIR, caterhm super light. Car doesn't drive, turning wheels doesn't do Anything. Stuck in pit lane

Hi,
I couldn't see this has been reported before.

Other cars that I've tried seem fine, I haven't found any others that do it.
The FU cars work okay on the classic track version.

 

Track & Layout Used: all
Car Used: all
Applicable Settings: ranked public lobby online race
Report: Disconnection of all drivers after 1 or 2 laps. Rating hit (downgrade for all drivers, even for the leader+pole)
Happened in 2 of 5 races yesterday and in 1 of 2 today. Got the disconnection reports also from other drivers. Yesterday steam switched offline at the same time (steam issue?) Today steam remained online during race disconnection. Rejoining multiplayer lobby, all were gone. Critical issue for all of us.

 

Build: V1.3.0.1
Car Used: Formula trainer advanced
Report: the speedometer is too much zoomed in resulting low res and with some of the information almost out of it (i have ultra setting in car detail)

 

well, the thing yesterday would have been steam regular tuesday maintenance, at midnight CET, i experienced the same a couple times, everything goes offline.

 

These steam Things are a pain with or without MPRS (rating system)
In the event of a disconnection, and I had 1 this week MPRS on.
Do not press the OK button and leave.
Continue driving until the end of the race if u can. Race will log as 'finished'
This will save your rating from downgrade.
Discovered by accident as it was on last lap Other cars disapeared randomly
Edit There will be a dedicated official Multiplayer thread as Devs have stated.
I have considered an interim thread for people to discuss their experiences in the meantime.
