Featured Automobilista 2 V1.6.4.2 & Super Trophy Trucks RELEASED - Now Updated to V1.6.4.3

That would be great, but I have to say the Porsche cup mod is one of my favourite ones!

 

Will there be updates to the STT AI? they dont even roll and bounce in the turns, makes me regret buying the DLC, they were awesome in AMS1, not so much in 2

 

did you buy them after release? cause there was a trial period for almost a week.

have you tried them after the update which was released 20 minutes ago?
Automobilista 2 V1.6.4.2 & Super Trophy Trucks RELEASED - Now Updated to V1.6.4.3

 

Thank you! Because I just did a winter race last night and the AI schooooled me.

 

Teasted it now and the AI just sticking to the ground in turns.

 

Yes, I bought when it was just releaed and just tried now post patch.

The AI cars drive like they are superglued to the road, do not break traction, do not 3 wheel around the corner, do not bounce and roll at all. its completely broken as the series is all about that.

 

so you didn't make use of the free trial period, decided to buy it anyway, the free trial is there for a reason...

fingers crossed they can fix it though, as it would look great to watch the AI go around on 3 wheels

 

Tried now F3 in progressive rain. Particles/Textures effects of water are now even better in VR.

This update cycle with core graphics/performance tweaks is really amazing. Great work, as usual.

 

It'd be cool for sure, though not sure how phesible it may be/how much work it'd take to do well. I can imagine a lot of problems from the AI accidentally rolling.

Not saying I don't want it to happen of course, just giving potential reasons why it's not like that right now.

 

I cannot agree with any argument being a good reason why it shouldn't work properly. It would be like having modern F1 cars in this game but not have the DRS wing open when the AI uses them. Ruins the immersion. And here at 1:12, an arcade racing game that has the trucks has the AI properly lift the tires as they turn and accelerate. If an arcade game can do it, surely a sim should too.

 

Whilst I appreciate all the work being done on the game it is disappointing that so many issues remain. Here are some I've encountered in the last week, and is by no means an exhaustive list. AI aggressively trying to unlap themselves against the player, the AI constantly running out of fuel at Le Mans 24hr under safety car, AI trying completely unnecessary overtaking attempts up and down the mountain at Bathurst on the player causing accidents, brake temperatures being reset to ambient temperature when tyres are changed, championship multi-class scoring not working correctly, AI driving at full speed with wing damage and their ability to drive with broken headlights at night, no working yellow flag system. I love the way the game drives but these bugs really frustrate me.

 

I'm looking forward to the Merc GT1 getting better pit strategies that match the rest of the field, not pitting when they still have half their tank still available. It was fixed for the other 3, but the Merc is still misbehaving

 

As an oval lover, I use to test oval racing in AMS2, most of the time finding improvements with respect to previous patches but also thinking all the time that oval racing (at least against the AI) just does not make the cut at that point yet.

Well, I think this patch is a turning point in AMS oval racing. I tested the V8 Supercars at Fontana and Indy.

- Physicswise they feel like I think they should (iRacing-like feeling -they have a lot of experience in ovals, I think it is fair to have the reference- while the tire dynamics of current AMS2 can be felt). It feels amazing!

- AI, for the first time works actually in a credible way. I recommend oval racers to try those combinations (and probably any more they want to). This is a HUGE improvement.
Still there are things to improve of course: I found inconsistent pace among those tracks (too fast at Fontana, they were slow even at 120 before this patch, but now I think they are a bit too fast there), I think they are a bit slow in the corners of Indy, but those small issues are up to a standard, thay are totally race-able now.

It definitely worth to start a single-player oval championship at this state, and I definitely will.

 

Now I know why I never got the fireworks...

 

Maybe do some bug reports for them to get fixed instead of writing a long list here which IMO is seen as complaining without actually helping the game improve since you’re just stating what’s wrong and not helping to fix it

 

Oh deary me!

A quick search of the bug reports thread will result in you finding that I, and others, have reported most of these bugs. Not only once, but in fact on multiple occasions, I may add.

I find your comment sadly as equally frustrating as the bugs! "Compaint" is your opinion, an expression of my frustration and disappointment was my aim. If it were a complaint, that is what I would have written.

 

If a bug was reported no amount of moaning, venting frustration will help - the team will get to it when they can or working in that area of the code. And expecting all reported bugs/issues to be resolved is unfortunately unrealistic.

Like in any software project there's a backlog and once reported it gets added. And I know we all tend to treat our own requests as the most important and sole focus of developer but that's not how it works.

Given Reiza's record of getting stuff done (eventually) once reported it will (probably) be addressed. At some point

 

To be fair to ChasteWand, many of the bugs are very obvious and Reiza must be aware of them, and also it is very frustrating to fill out a bug report and get no indication if the bug as made it onto the list of things to fix or what priority bugs have.

I agree this thread is not the place for such comments, but I can understand the frustration

On a more positive note I want to thank the Reiza team for the extended trial of the STT DLC. I was persuaded to buy them on day 1, they are a fantastic addition to the game, I hope that we can look forward to more of this kind of content in the future.

.

 

My logic and rationality agrees wholeheartedly. My flawed illogical and reactionary idiot can't help itself! To err is to be human, to forgive is to be divine. So I can forgive all comments, Reiza and the team. Now who dares call me a narcissist?
