Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Track & Layout Used: Irrelevant
Car Used: Irrelevant
Applicable Settings: Using a VR headset - Quest 3 in this case, using "Gaze Control - Manual"
Report: Using a Thrustmaster T300RS GT wheel, starting the game in VR, randomly and often enough to be a problem when entering the "Multiplayer" menu, the wheel will completely stop working and the game has to be restarted for it work again. Then by luck on sometimes the first, sometimes fifth attempt the wheel will work when entering the Multiplayer menu.

Steps to reproduce: Start the game in VR, enter Multiplayer. If the wheel works, exit out and enter the menu again to see if the wheel works again if on the previous attempt it did work.

Report: Custom championship race not loading when clicking start button.
Description: I had 4 custom championships saved. I decided to delete one as I had completed it and created a new one. When creating the new one I selected MAX OPPONENTS as 16. This setting was changed in the first available screen, not in the second one where it lets you also select car class etc etc. As a result of that I was unable to load my 25 car championship I had previously already created.
To solve this I copied the championship save files from the documents folder and then deleted them, created a new custom championship with a higher number of opponents allowed, and then pasted them back in the documents folder and now everything works fine again.

Report: BTW just noticed last night that there's some flickering (ž fighting) on the left side of the Nurbugring GP circuit starting straight.

EDiT: FIXED in Update 1.6.5

 

Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: N/A
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report: It looks like the newly "Implemented level-of-detail crossfades in the renderer for foliage and grass shaders" in 1.6.5 totally broke background trees rendering on all tracks that feature them (Spa, Spielberg, Nordschleife etc) . They constantly flicker and performance is totally trashed compared to 1.6.4. (using an AMD Radeon 6700XT GPU w/latest drivers on Windows 11)

 

Version: 1.6.5.0.2882
Track: Interlagos
Car: Formula Classic Gen 2 Model 1
Report: White lines on the track surface rendering in front of the car in a replay.

 

Track and layout used: Taruma
Car used: Sigma P2
Applicable parameters: N/A
Report: We were in Open with my team, 2 x 30-minute races, the update came between the two races. After the update, there was a major sound problem with the Sigma P2s. We could hear the start of acceleration, then the sound cut out. Is there a way to communicate a few hours or days before the update is due? So we can avoid any events that day?

Game keeps freezing since 1.6.5 (amd 9950x3d)

Hey everyone,

I just applied the patch for ams2.
Now everytime I start a race the game keeps freezing.

-when loading ends, have to alt/tab for it to enter game session.
-when session is running, it freezes after a few second, then running 2 sec, then freezing again and so on...
-Alt/tab again, then game says I m disconnected from session. unable to push ok button, alt/tab again. able to push button, returning to menu.
-Exiting game, freeze again. alt/tab, game shuts down.

Everything was fine before 1.6.5.

Adenum:

I ve been using process lasso to force game to use ccd0 (9950x3d 3dv cache ccd) as by default it s using the wrong one (ccd1 the non 3dv cache one).
I tried disabling process lasso and now the game runs as intended, except it is using the wrong ccd (ccd1).
further testing.

Adenum 2:

Re enable core affinity to ccd0 in process lasso. Everything is running fine.
But when setting sort of SMT behaviour (core0, core2, core4, core6, core8) brings back issues, not as heavy as in my original post but still. I get heavy freezing issue in game session.
I dunno where the issue is coming from (game or process lasso) but it seems that disabling core affinity totally then re applying it to ccd0 works, you re unable to simulate SMT behaviour through process lasso though.

Adenum 3:

After further testing:

forcing ccd0 brings issue with performance.
Disabling core affinity brings back a bit of performance, but having better performance on ccd1 instead of ccd0 is abnormal.

I m no expert so I couldn't tell if the issue comes from 1.6.5 patch or process lasso.
Though, I had no issue before 1.6.5 patch. Things were running just fine and performance wise I was stuck at very high fps (9950x3d and rtx 5090 inside).

Something is wrong here.

Steps to reproduce:-

PC:
Cpu: amd 9950x3d
graphic card: asus astral lc rtx 5090 oc version
Motherboard: ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO
RAM: 48GB triden z5 neo rgb DDR5 8000 (F5-8000J4048G24GX2-TZ5NR)
Disk: SSD Crucial T705 PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2

Track & Layout Used:- Le Mans 24hr
Car Used: - any lmdh, gt3, lmp2
Applicable Settings: - mostly medium settings - dropped everything down and saw no improvement
Report: every track I can get 100+ fps (in all conditions- rain, night, etc) as Le Mans is not even above 20 in good weather…. Always have noticed a drop there but nothing unplayable until 1.6.5 dropped

PC:
Cpu: Ryzen 5600x
graphic Rx6600
RAM: 32 gb
Disk: SSD
OS- Linux 6.15- proton 9


Edit-
weird update- same conditions with a different date (current vs. default) yield a better FPS- I’m sure I’m missing something but went back a couple of times comparing dates and the default seemed to be a bunch of fps less each time

 

Track & Layout Used : Any Tracks
Car Used : Any Cars
Applicable Settings : Clear
Report : Ai is Extremly slow, from my side i put settings on 103% Ai, Max agressivity, and normal mistake
Steps to reproduce : choose any cars and put same settings than me on any tracks ?

 

Track & Layout Used: Circuit 24h Le Mans
Car Used: Porsche 911 GT1
Applicable Settings: Weather set as Random but in this instance it was a Clear race
Report: Massive drop in FPS. Generally I usually get 75 fps (v-sync on) on any combination of cars, tracks, regardless of the amount of AI or weather as well. In the context of Le Mans, just last week I did a bunch of races with the GT1s and everything ran perfect. After the update it's dropping heavy, sometimes even below the 60fps as we reach the Ford chicanes and the main straight.
Steps to reproduce: Choose Porsche 911 GT1, set the date as June 1998, duration of 24 minutes, 60x time progression, 40+ opponents. I guess that's all I've done.

My PC :
Intel i7700k
GTX 1070
16 GB RAM
SSD
Windows 10

 

Version: 1.6.5.0.2882
Track & Layout Used: Mosport
Car Used: Formula Inter
Applicable Settings: Online/multiplayer race(joined the server 3 times and it happened 3 times), it doesn't happen when selecting Mosport and doing an offline race on the same track
Report: I get the following message+a game crash: CRC error loading file: ...Automobilista 2\pakfiles\tracks\spr_mosport.bff' Please check game installation and drive health and try again.

 

Version: 1.6.5
Report: Game will not load after initial title screens i.e. will not reach main menu. I played the game after the 1.6.5 update successfully once last night for a couple of hours then this happened after deciding to close the game and modify one of my custom liveries - this was just a colour change on one livery. The 'OK' button on this error screen attached is not clickable and I have to close the game through Task Manager.

Edit: I have 500mbps internet connection, have been using the Steam app and played other Steam games so 'Steam is not running' is not the case.

 

V 1.6.5
Car Used: Ginetta P1 gen 2
Report : Engine sound in the cockpit is missing (tried on Le Mans, single player race).

 

Track & Layout Used: Spa 2022
Car Used: GT3, LMDh
Applicable Settings: Race weekend
Report: pit limit is at 240 kph

 

Yeah I've already re-started the PC as it happened last night and is still happening today. I'm not sure what could be causing it if I'm the only one experiencing it after the latest update.

 

Track & Layout Used: tested on laguna seca, le mans, spa, interlagos
Car Used: Sigma P1 G5
Applicable Settings: everything
Report: Sigma P1 G5, after the latest update to version 1.6.5, has become incredibly oversteery. Adjusting the downforce, traction control, and stabilizers doesn’t help at all. The car handles as if the DRS system was permanently activated. I haven’t noticed such behavior in other P1 Gen. 2 cars.
