Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

None of the bugs I reported here some time ago (simple reproducible stuff, not something subjective) have been fixed in 1.3.2.

Do you guys generally see your reported bugs fixed? I've heard the the bug with ICM -> Race Strategy scrolling is there since a very long time and no one bothers.

Well, I guess I won't be buying Premium Packs just yet
I won't commit to another platform that can't fix simple things. Will see in further patches.

Happy new year!

 

Well, some of them, but it can take a while, its a matter of priorities probably, and releasing new free content sometimes seems more important then releasing paid dlc, and fix longtime bugs.

luckily they do actively work on the title and are making steps forward, and knowing reiza they probably will for a long time in the future as well

 

Track & Layout Used: Spa (Top of the list variant)
Car Used: GT3

Applicable Settings: Multiplayer race 20 laps changing from overcast to rain half way

Report: On Lap 12/20 (with me in first) black screen followed by continuing game sounds for several seconds then crash to desktop. This is the 6th time this happened in the last two days. Have rolled back Nvidia drivers from 497.29 to 496.49 without success.

Steps to reproduce: Drive in multiplayer race with rain.

 

AMS2 Version: 1.3.2
Report: HUD icons activates when traction control or ABS kicks in, but the car dashboard icon don't.
Car used: Posche GT4

 

Track & Layout Used: Nurburgring GP
Car Used: any
Applicable Settings: time trial
Report: game puts the car off the track before giving me control, which compromised my first lap in time trial
Steps to reproduce: start a lap in time trial at Nurburgring GP, the game puts my car off the track before giving me control. Ideally the game should give me control of the car before the last turn.

 

Track & Layout Used: Nurburgring 24Hr
Car Used: Caterham Superlight
Applicable Settings: Dry, 1 lap, 12pm, 1st July, standing start, back of grid.
19 A.I @ 110.
Default+ FFB @ default settings.
Deleted/reset setups etc as per usual.

Report: After the update. The FFB feels weak and strange, until...I hit another car.
Almost as though the per car FFB is at ZERO.

Steps to reproduce: Personally, I've been trying to do this race for way too long now, thinking the game/FFB just felt completely different. Horrible in fact. I wondered if it was just me...

I then finally raged and hit an A.I on purpose. The FFB miraculously and instantly became much stronger, and was somewhat back to normal. I say somewhat because it still felt a little strange, almost half reversed.
I'm still trying to do this race with proper FFB, but I simply can't unless I hit another car, and even that doesn't bring back the FFB half the time, because another issue I've noticed is that cars are 'sometimes' ghosting through each other and I'm 'sort of' hitting them, or am I? Who knows?! :-/

Edit: I'm done trying for now.This is why I gave up attempting...to make videos, every time I fire up the game it feels different and there's a new issue to deal with. It's just a massive frustration.

Edit 2: Also I still! have to calibrate my Logitech pedals every single time I load the game up. Otherwise the brake pedal spikes to 100% when just looking at it, unless I calibrate it 'twice' in a row pressing very hard.

 

Never fix bro. It's not important to them apparently. They're more obsessed with the mechanic of the cars. I believe this is also the reason why a lot of basic things that game needed right off the bat is not there...such as a career mode, Championship mode and multiplayer mode.

 

In formula ultimate at Spielberg sometimes an AI car goes to pitstop at lap 1 also when I don't set mandatory pitstop.
Mandatory pitstop not working in championship mode.

 

Duplicate Liveries in Formula Reiza, i know this is a common problem, hopefully it will eventually be sorted, not a game breaker though.
Sorry forgot to say Quick Race mode
Thanks

 

Without going into details (it’s not my function, job or role to do that) the ICM issues are not being ignored, but with everything it is a matter of priorities and difficulties. The ICM code is rooted deep in the source code and the time needed to change things might end up being very high to change something that while not optimal, is also not unusable.

On another side, the handling side of the game is managed by another dev than the game system code side. The Madness Engine is not a simple engine. While we might not see many additions on the feature front, it doesn’t mean things aren’t being worked on. Priorities versus complexity and balancing coding new features, testing and fixing them means that things advance at an irregular pace. This is an Indy Studio with a small staff. Patience and understanding is required from us. If a player can’t be either, which is understandable, then it’s best to play something else and regularly come back. The game will keep evolving. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon.

 

Track & Layout Used: Long Beach
Car Used: F*USA
Report: AI car retired with less than 2 laps to go, and was indicated as +2 laps down (that's correct), but... was placed in standings below cars, which finished, but +3...+4 laps down.

 

Version: V1.3.2.1925.AVX
Track & Layout Used: NA
Car Used: C-3R, Uno Classic B and both TSI Cup VWs
Applicable Settings: Cockpit Driving View
Report: There are many cars that don't have all the dash gauges working; examples:
C-3R; volts gauge and odometer not working
Uno Classic B; volts, boost and air/fuel gauges not working
TSI Cup VWs; the Water gauge isn't working properly; it's showing the oil temps instead.

 

Yes! Ive reported issues here that have been patched in the next update. This time round it was the rain in the Spa garages, which has been fixed according to the 1.3.2 patch notes. Not everything is immediately fixed the next day, as there is a long list of bugs to fix, but detailed reporting is a good first step so the devs can replicate the bug.

Dashboard indicators aren’t functional in ams2 for any car in the game in terms of TCS or ABS usage, nor do setting changes indicate themselves on dashes (stuff like changes to TCS, ABS or BB levels). Ik for a fact that it is on the to do list but its not as simple as simply enabling it.

 

Version: V1.3.2.

Report: Since latest update the ffb seems to have lost fidelity , seems dull and muddy / lifeless .
This is regardless of which type of ffb I choose .

 

Version: V1.3.2.
Track & Layout Used: any
Car Used: any
Applicable Settings: na
Report:Even in Neutral wheel cant be left alone, no matter def def+ or custom ffb. Oscillating at its best, fanatec DD1.

 

I have DD2 and have no such issue on any cars. You have to provide your in-game settings and you fanalab settings to see if you have enough natural friction, etc.. check the default Fanalab settings and make sure you have the latest drivers.

 

I had this issue and was able to fix it by using Maurice's fanalab and recommended in game settings and now FFB is perfect.
