Automobilista 2 October 2022 Development Update

Now that we had this brief discussion, indeed it seems like AMS2 is walking fast and stead towards focus on single player. Every step taken has been that way.

So I guess it is time for us who wanted to league race in AMS2 to move on.

 

we're about to do our first test season on ams 2, i'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst, simply because if one person with bad ping is in the league it will mess it up for everyone, i'm expecting ams2 to be abandonned if thats the case for our leagues

 

The ironic thing is that you, the guy who had "don't stress about underdeveleoped MP..." in your signature are now one of the most stressed about multiplayer two months before the end of 2022

 

Wait until the next MP update

 

Reiza's interpretation of tracks are really great.
But it's very sad, they always look very sad, dead, and grown lonely.
Hopefully they will bring some more life to them, especially for the historical tracks when it was possible to stand very close to the track and cars

IMO in AMS1 there was a better atmosphere on track.

 

Well, if you have people in with pings below 120 it works well most of the time, but when using the dedicated server, you can get invisible cars, usually someone sees a car floating above the track at the start, that person/car is invisible to him on track, not for everyone, the number of people in the server doesnt seem to affect this, it seems just random, but never happened until 2 or 3 updates ago

 

trouble is the dedicated servers needs to be used or you get no results files etc, otherwise i'd just setup the lobbies in game

 

Yeah, thats true indeed.

Hopefully the next update/changelog will have a multiplayer subsection, with some fixes underneath it

 

We have been running leagues in AMS2 for a year now at NoobGamerz and we have had some ups and downs. Overall i would say very satisfying

 

Multiplayer scenario is oversaturated. We need single player

 

Think there is a new RC out

 

downloading 2,3 gb now
hmm version 1.4.3.2183 still...

 

You are a funny guy

 

RC

 

I imagine adding this much "npc's" for lack of a better term would be heavy on the frames, the npcs all look like cardboard anyway, I mostly think they are better only in the stands.

 

sprites wouldn't take much processing power

 

Yes, you 'think' just like I do. Would be nice to have it communicated officially.

I didn't have Helicorsa in mind when I was asking for MP improvements though

But yeah, if there's no confirmation in the near future I guess we can all draw our conclusions indeed. I reckon I said my piece already

 

Yeah but imagine the track with this much cardboard people around it, it would look terrible. Specially in screenshots. And this much npcs with better models that look decent would for sure tank the frames.

 

Yeah, i dont understand that one as well, a radar type thingy has nothing to do with multiplayer improvement, public AC and ACC servers are proof of that!
