Automobilista 2 2026 Development Preview

I watched that whilest watching the qualifying xD

 

ReizaStudios. To celebrate the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, here's a never-before-seen look at the Renault R25 and its unleashed V10 engine on the Circuit d'Azur for a few laps! This video is part of the June development update, which will be released later today and relates to the upcoming release of Automobilista 2 V1.6.9.8, scheduled for next week.

 

Dev log later today + a video and sound of the mighty V10 Renault ....
Vive la FRANCE !!!

 

Excuse me, but I'm not clear on this. The "June Development Update to be released later today"—will it be available to everyone, or is it only accessible to "beta" users or something like that?
I need to know if I'll be able to play with this new version today and tomorrow.

 

Dev blog will come later today, here on The forum for everybody, like always. The updat it self will launch sometime next week, expect towards the end. I really think you have the dev blog, beta builds and official game updates mixed up as to what is what. I hope this clears it up for you.

 

Dev updates arent the update themselves, its just a blog post on here talking about what's coming in the next update.

According to the description of the video, the actual update will be available publicly some time next week

 

Thank you both so much! Now it's perfectly clear

 

Love that engine sound. I remember walking up to track for my first F1 race and hearing that sound . Then taking my seat on start line being deafened by sound. After 30 seconds I had to use ear plugs as my ears we’re hurting.

 

I read this this a few post before: "The mid-racesaves are what I'm looking forward...".

I heard that in future AMS 2 updates saving would be possible. But i thought the Player can save when WE want - so, everytime in a Race. Now it should be ONLY in the middle of a Race???
This would be really disappointing...;(

I plan a long time a go to drive Endurance WEC-Races in the game and now we should only save in the mid...?

 

maybe this is a language issue, mid can mean in the middle, but it can also mean anywhere between the beginning and end. the vagaries of the English language.

 

Is anything known when the saving feature comes to the game?

 

No. Unless reiza is giving us details nobody knows next releases and what is included.

 

Does AMS2 already have tons of great content? - Yes.
Do I lack the time to jump in my sim rig anyway? - Yes.
Do I still check for a new dev update every single day? - Also yes!

 

Read the startpost what Renato said
"the option for saving & resuming races already in progress (albeit with some inherent limitations)"
Regarding the limitation he said this in another topic before this blog post was released and mid-save announced as an official WIP feature:
"If this ever comes, it wouldn´t be without limitations, such as as weather and track conditions from a loaded mid-race save being only an aproximation of what they were at the point of the saving; not so innacurate that would make a wet track turn dry or vice-versa, but the feature would surely be unsuitable to be used during transitional states - let´s say for example a race that started dry and is getting rained in but track is not quite wet enough for a tire switch; you save the session and upon reloading you find where and how wet the track is to be different from where you saved; maybe even crossing the threshold for slicks to be useable; you might not be able to resume that saved session and even if you could, it most likely isn´t going to be the same race you were going to have in the initial session.

Would anyone find this to be a deal breaker?"
So the limitations are more related to the live weather system and not when you are able to save. So mid-race does not mean at the literal middle of the race, just while the race is in progress.

 

Not a deal breaker for me, because we have always (in years past) assumed ANY mid-race save was impossible (because the people who created the game engine were not able or willing to do it). This is much better than nothing.

 

Having the ability to save mid-race is essential for 12 to 24 hour endurance racing. What would make this an even greater experience is sharing the car with NAMED AI drivers and racing against teams of AI drivers who also do driver swaps.
