Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

The mouse pointer returns as soon as I click it just before the screen goes black...

No issues with steam overlay or task manager or anything else... I can alt tab fine... I just get a black screen as soon as I click the mouse...

I had 5 attempts yesterday where I was getting a bugslpat, but most of the time I have to use task manager to close it... I checked the file in public documents and there was nothing alarming, but I sent them through anyway...

I still can't get it to work so I'm going down the regedit route to do as clean as a new install as possible and reinstalling as many drivers as I can think of... Because I want to avoid doing a reformat... I ended up being too busy last night to do it...

 

Track & Layout Used: Daytona Road Course
Car Used: GT3
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer, Weather - sunny, 3 AI, qualification-race
Report: I joined an almost fully loaded qualy session, as I remember I was the 30th competitor including three AI. Around 4 minutes remained from quali. I was not able to push the drive and edit setups buttons, they remained grey till the end. Only the options button worked. When the quali finished the lobby stuck in that phase (the good old issue which was reported being fixed in the latest dev update if I'm right) we couldn't proceed to race. After waiting for couple of minutes I quitted so I don't know if the race could start later.
Steps to reproduce: I participated in more lobbies (they were not full), but I just experienced the bug in the mentioned one what was a full lobby.

 

Version: 1.5.0.1.2367.AVX
Track & Layout Used: Long Beach / Spa / probably any other track
Car Used: Group C / Porsche 962
Applicable Settings: Soft Tires / Day / Sunny
Report: I drive Group C cars exclusively and i thought they were very good in 1.4.8, but since i updated to 1.5.0.1 at least the Porsche 962 seems to have way too much grip under acceleration out of the corners.
I can hammer the throttle down very aggressively in 2nd gear and the car just accelerates until it hits the rev limiter without losing grip which is very unrealistic for a 700HP car.
In version 1.4.8 i had to be careful and modulate the throttle on corner exit, otherwise it would break traction. Sure, you can still crash in version 1.5 if you really want to, but it feels almost like having 50% traction control.
The lateral grip seems to be the same as before because the cornering speed is about the same, but the longitudinal grip of the tires is way too good in version 1.5.
I only tested the Porsche 962, but i think other Group C cars may be affected as well. I briefly tried the Mercedes Sauber C9 and it felt too docile for a 850 HP monster.

Could it be that in V.1.4.8 we had very good tire grip to compensate for the suspension problems, and now when the suspension problems were fixed in V.1.5 we ended up with too much grip?
Thank you for looking into this.

Steps to reproduce:
Drive the Porsche 962 with soft tires in sunny weather at Long Beach, where there are many 2nd gear corners. Feel the grip of the tires while accelerating out of the corners, notice how hard you can be on the throttle before the car loses rear grip.

 

Nissan GT3 custom championship race at monza the all weather pitstop bug from the beta is in the public release now. He bug is where if you have the pit strategy as all weather tyre changes then the pit crew change them but the tyres still show wear on them when you leave the pits.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Cadillac DPI
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Game crashes when reloading a championship race with the cadillac DPI.
Steps to reproduce: Start a championship with the cadillac DPI (no matter what ai cars or track). Finish the qualifying and while on the intro screen of the race go back to the menu.
Now try to load the race again -> crash

RC version 1.5.0.1.2367.

Edit: sorry this bug was already submitted on a previous page.

 

New Base release build of the game 1.5.0.1.2367.avx
Track : Taruma international.
Car used Formula trainer with identical cars for AI
Single race with today's date, noon start time & light cloud, AI driver opponents set to custom 31
I have encountered a Visual defect / Bug when driving out of last corner onto start / finish straight the image flickers but then almost returns immediately within 0.5 sec.
Unfortunately this bug doesn't show up in the cockpit replay Sorry I can't attach a file.
Loving these cars though on the new update.

 

So after I uninstalled AMS2 and deleted the mydocuments folder I deleted 40+ registry entries, reinstalled my GPU, mouse, audio and chipset drivers... Then reinstalled AMS2...

This time around there wasn't anything in my Appdata folder to remove...

Now it doesn't get past the Reiza logo without a bugsplat...

 

Track & Layout Used: Bathurst (seems to happen in any track)
Car Used: M1 Procar
Applicable Settings: Weather - Clear | Max Graphics settings | Windows 11
Report: After finishing the race, a black screen bug flickers entering the boxes, it seems like a mesh that's not shading right, then it covers almost all the screen. I was using a helmet cam, if this is relevant.
Another thing is, I had a black screen issue like 90% of times I raced in this track, every time I had to close the game via ctrl+alt+del. (sound and game stay functional, but the whole screen turns black.
FIXED THE BUSPLATS: Another thing is, I had a lot of bugsplats after this update, from opening the game and getting (sound bff issues) to leaving the game at the race start screen, and from nothing I got a bugsplat.
Already check the game files integrity, with no issues...
Deleted ams2 whole documents folder.
PS: This is an AMS2 mod free install.
Reinstalled the game as Steam didn't detect the corrupted files.

 

Track & Layout Used: any
Car Used: Supercars V8
Applicable Settings: any
Report: Heel-Toe Downshift does not work.
Steps to reproduce: No driving aids. Drive the Supercar V8, and try to do Heel-Toe Downshift with clutch just like in real life... is useless .

 

GT3 cars handling like on ice when starting official championship, cars act as they should in one off single race. Traction control showing at 8 yet cars are a nightmare to handle, authentic aids on and dry track / slicks. Has to be a bug considering how forgiving GT3 cars usually are.

 

Version 1.5.0.2
Car: Ginetta G55 Supercup (maybe others, too)
Report: Setup reset does not work when there is a setup saved.

Did a few laps at Jacarepagua Oval and saved a setup for this track.
Later on, I did a race in Spielberg with this car and the game, as usual, loaded the last chosen setup, which was the one for ovals. So I clicked "reset to standard" and left the garage. Driving felt strange, so I returned to pits and saw that the game has loaded the oval setup again. Tried the setup reset several times, always the same. Had to delete the setup for Jacarepagua, then, the game was willing to load the default setup again.

 

Car: all AJR Gen 2
Track: all Tracks

The Front Wings are acting opposite to what they should behave like.
Under braking they go down when they should go up while when DRS is active they stay up

 

Version: V1.5.0.2.2369
Track & Layout Used: Ascurra Dirt
NewCar Used: Rx
Applicable Settings: Nothing special
Report: Fall out of the circuit.

 

Version: V1.5.0.2.2369
Track & Layout Used: Circuit Catalunya
Applicable Settings: None
Cars: Only tried BM1 Procar, and 2020 Stockcar

When starting a race whether it be rolling or static, when the cars cross the start/finish line they tap their brakes, this happens nearly every lap, if you are quite a way behind them, you have no problems passing them, kills the enjoyment.

 

Track & Layout Used: I tested almost 8 tracks
Car Used: Stock Car 2023, Toyota Corolla.
Applicable Settings: Any hour, any day, any weather
Report: The car spit the front lights
Steps to reproduce: Just turn on the lights.
Nvidia GeForce GTX1650
RC version 1.5.0.1.2367.avx

 

Version: V1.5.0.2.2369
Track & Layout Used: Any
NewCar Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Using Simucube 1 (Augury)
Report:When I change Simucube values after I started the game (to change ffb), the game stops recognizing the wheel. That started to happen after this update. If I close and open the game again, the problem is resolved.

EDIT: The problem is not with Simucube. If i go back to the desktop, and then I come back to the game, the wheel stop being recognized by the game (no problem on the pc)

 

Version: V1.5.0.2.2369
Track & Layout Used: Barcelona GP without chicane
Car Used: F ultimate G2 and G1
Applicable Settings: simple race with AI, dry weather, sunny, default live track
Report: The AI loses more than a second per lap (compared to its best lap) from lap 3 or 4 for no apparent reason.
I don't know if other combos are affected but it makes racing against the AI very frustrating. I tried the same combos 3 times and the results are the same.

 

Version: V1.5.0.2.2369
Track & Layout Used: Modern Interlagos
Car Used: V 10 Gen 1
Applicable Settings: 45 lap race with AI. March 30th. Weather transition from sunny to cloudy over the course of the race. Accelerated Tire wear.
Report: I did the first 30 laps of the race on hard tires--no problem. On my pit stop I switched to softs. After that, the car immediately had a ridiculous amount of lift-off oversteer. Go thorough a corner without at least some thottle and the car was going around.

I could not replicate this by doing a test session with cloudy weather on 3/30, soft tires, heavy rubber, light fuel load--car drives beautifully as expected.

I had no issues on-throttle. It's a relatively easy car to control on throttle and that did not change.

It was like something got changed with my dif settings during the stop and engine braking was secretly cranked up to the max.

Update: Someone reached out to me and told me to check the tire pressures on my pit strategy and the rears were indeed too high. So, I'd restate the bug to be:

a) If one is using imperial units, that should apply to setting up pit strategies as well. Making a typo when converting between PSI and bar when setting up my pit strategy was partially where things went awry.

b) When the player creates a new strategy, the default pressures should carry over from the garage values as opposed to being something pulled out of, somewhere.

 

Trying to make a race with formula classic gen 2 (all cars from class) @ Brands Hatch, got the game closed, and the following screen.

FIXED: Reinstalling the whole game, as Steam doesn't catch the corrupted files.

 

Free training @ Brands Hatch with mp4/4, after losing the front right wheel, restarted the race and the wheel is invisible.
