Track & Layout Used: Spa as an example.
Car Used: Formula HiTech Gen 1 Model 2 and HiTech Gen 2 Model 2.
Applicable Settings: Active suspension dampening 10.
Report: The suspension goes crazy in high speeds, violently shaking up and down.
Steps to reproduce: Choose either of the Model 2's, get up to speed, usually 5th gear, setup as default. Lowering the dampening to 7 or 8 stops this.

This never happened before and I don't know if it is easy to reproduce, but basically a full-course caution never ended

Track & Layout Used: Le Mans
Report: I created a custom championship with the Le Mans circuit when it was free, I can still start a new championship and drive on the track but I do not own it

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Formula Reiza
Report: The Helmet overlay is partially transparent in VR when driving the Formula Reiza cars. The steering wheel is visible through the helmet. As far as I'm aware, this is the only car where the helmet is transparent, it works as it should on every other cars I've tried racing.
Steps to reproduce: Drive the Formula Reiza cars in VR and notice how the steering wheel is vivible through the helmet when it obviously shouldn't be.ams2vrbug2.png

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Accelerated tire wear - manual pit stop with tire change
Report: Tire wear acceleration doesn't affect the player after changing tires; when starting the race everything works fine, but after changing tires the new ones wear at the normal rate, without any acceleration. Only happens if tires are changed when pitting, in the case of a double stint tire wear stays accelerated. Also doesn't affect the AI, their tires continue to wear at an accelerated rate even after they change them.
Steps to reproduce: Do a race with accelerated tire wear and change tires on a pitstop, and observe how a new set of tires wears much more quickly than the one of the same compound used at the start of the race.

 

STRANGE BEHAVIOUR FROM AI EXITING PITS ON LONDRINA LONG

Track & Layout Used: Londrina long
Car Used: Copa Uno
Applicable Settings: Clear weather (I was using Historic Weather)
Report: AI just stops after a few meters after leaving the pits and do a strange pattern, turning left at slow speed at the first long right corner and then driving normally afterwards.
Steps to reproduce: My setup: Copa Uno custom championship using Historic Weather. 15 minutes practice, 10 minutes qualifying, 12 laps race. This behaviour happened both on the practice and qualifying sections. Nothing wrong during the race apparently.

 

The same happens with other cars/series and conditions as well.

 

Drivers disappear when watching the replay and using the "onboard" camera. This bug affects every single car in the game.

 

Version: 1.5.5.6
Car Used: Porsche RSR 74
Track Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Any
Report:
The management of engine/gearbox failures is not correct. It is practically impossible to cause a failure, just go in 5th gear at 230 km/h and go directly to 1st and the engine will not break down. For example, you can also go in 3rd gear at maximum revs and reduce to 2nd and nothing happens either.

This will also happen in previous versions even if you try to set the error level to the maximum. It's a shame because the car is amazing.

 

Version: 1.5.5.6
Track & Layout Used: Barcelona 1991
Car Used: GT1 race - Merc used
Applicable Settings: MP session, 15/10/75 minutes, auto-advance On
Report: MP Qualifying session ends with driver still doing an active lap, with time still on the timer.
Steps to reproduce: Qualifying, I crossed the line with 5 seconds left on the session timer. "Qualifying Complete" timer appeared, as it should, after I crossed the line. Did my lap with plenty of time on the timer. Come to the last corner, with 106 seconds left on the timer, and the lobby ends the session.

Footage available:

 

Version: 1.5.5.6
Track & Layout Used: Hockenheim 1988 (full)
Car Used: Lotus 98T
Applicable Settings: race only, 10m
Report: blown engine due to max boost pressure (ghehe), but engine sound continues to be heard
Steps to reproduce: max boost pressure and keep hitting 340kph

 

Version: 1.5.5.6
Track & Layout used: N/A
Car Used: Cadillac DPi-VR
Applicable Settings: Multi-class race with DPi and P1 Gen 2 cars
Report: In races and championships running the DPi and P1 Gen 2 class against each other, even though the DPi class is faster than P1 Gen 2, after qualifying, the DPi class starts the race behind the P1 Gen 2 class. This is a little aggravating as the DPi class has to slug through the slower P1 cars despite qualifying ahead of them. This does not apply for P1 Gen 1.
Steps to Reproduce: Run race or championship with both DPi and P1 Gen 2 class.

EDIT: noticed that when I turned off Class Scoring in championship, this problem does not replicate.

 

Applicable Settings: Recenter view on boot under virtual reality.
Report: Disabling "Recenter view on boot" does not actually disable VR recentering at startup.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start AMS 2 in VR, looking forward.
- Go to settings and disable "Recenter view on boot" setting.
- Quit the game.
- While looking to the right, start the game again.
- Note that the headset gets recentered to the right anyway.

This is rather annoying since it not only messes up the seated head position in AMS 2, it also does it for every other VR game as well. This is with a SteamVR headset (Vive Pro) if that makes a difference.

Note: During startup in VR, it seems the "vr head mouse" feature is also enabled for a few first seconds while the game is loading even if its disabled in the settings and the recenter happens before this. So perhaps the recentering is done before the relevant user settings are even loaded.

 

Sorry if this has already been noted.
