Automobilista bug report thread (Please read the opening post)

Maybe I can help with the black/minimized screens.

In my community there are some people with these problems, we have tried everything that can be seen in the forum.
We found that these problems only occur online. We're still testing, but it looks like opening the ports on the router will fix it. You have to open the ports of the server you enter (ports Multiplayer.ini of server), which is not functional for public servers, but it is for people who participate in communities.

Like I say, we keep trying it, but this seems to work.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report: The AI cars don´t leave the pits in practice sessions and on test day. Qualifying works.
Steps to reproduce: Drive a car on a track in a practice session or on test day. ;-)
Game version 1.5.1
- Did the Steam file integrity check
- Removed the complete Automobilista folder from my documents folder
- Made a brand new player profile
-> the issue still remains

Appendix: They don´t leave the pits on default number of tire sets, with unlimited or a given number of tire sets the problem is gone.

 

Track & Layout Used: Ortona Kart 1
Car Used: Kart 125cc
Applicable Settings:
- Run latest Automobilista (not beta) v1.5.10r
- Be in pole position
- 20min race
- Rolling start
Report:
Problem #1: The "kart-safety car" leads the pack on the rolling start. Shortly before arriving at pit entry the "kart-safety car" will suddenly veer to the left and dissapear. Now, this makes the car in 2nd position to accelerate and take a lead on the rest of the field before the green light goes on. If you in pole position accelerate with him you get penalised for accelerating too quickly. I think the safety car should enter the pits entry correctly and fully, instead of dissapearing just when it reaches pit entry. Anyhow, problem is that currently this messes up the rolling start and gives an unfair advantage to the AI.

Problem #2: The start of pit entry on "Ortona Kart 1" where the speed limit is enforced is not marked with a white line or cones, hence it is impossible to exactly know where it begins.

Problem #3: I also noticed that AI cars keep going out on track even after the practice time or qualifiying time has long been over. Example qualifying time is 10min and AI cars are still out when already 13min passed. The menu screen shows the time being 00:00:00 and it takes longer for "skip session" to turn into "next session".

Steps to reproduce:
- Choose kart 125cc
- Choose track Ortona Kart 1
- Choose Rolling Start
- Get in pole position
- Let the rolling start play out and witness what I described above.

 

At this stage i would create a new profile if you want to have all options, included the tires sets. It worked for me as i had the same issue. Give it a try

 

Track & Layout Used: Interlagos & Autopolis (but probably Any)
Car Used: Marcas & Acura NSX GT3 (but probably Any)
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report: Some AI cars lose a Lap without any reason on race
Steps to reproduce: Make an offline race
Game version 1.5.1
- Fresh new installing
- Made a brand new player profile
-> I thought it was due to blue flag rule (a bug maybe ?) but it happens also without blue flag rule

 

Track & Layout Used: Interlagos Kart 3
Car Used: Kart 125cc
Applicable Settings:
- Race time 20min
- AI difficulty 90%
Report:
- Karts get stuck during the race at turn 5, 6 & sometimes 9, resulting in 8 DNF's of a field of 18 drivers. Guessing it maybe has something to do with the AIW line being too close to the tires placed at those corners?
Steps to reproduce:
- Choose kart 125cc
- Choose track Interlagos Kart 3
- Race and witness the mayhem of karts getting stuck at the turns described.

 

Try the same settings without car and track mods (Autopolis/Acura)

 

Same issue that I reported here?:

https://forum.reizastudios.com/threads/ams-beta-ai-feedback-reports.18/page-48#post-33041

 

Yes, I can replicate this identical situation. AI at 100% and High Aggression.

 

Applicable Settings: international keyboard layout (US) in Windows
Report: Several special characters are in the wrong key position when using a US international keyboard
Steps to reproduce:
try to type a question mark in chat, and you get an equal (=) sign on screen;
to actually get a question mark, I have to press the underscore button (_). This is just an example, many keys (except for a-z and 0-9) are wrong. This makes chatting in a server awkward.

 

Car Used: Formula V10
Report: Cannot change autoshift setting in-car
Steps to reproduce:
Use the binded key to try to change the autoshift setting, for example from the default 'auto upshift' to 'manual'. A message then says: vehicle setting disallowed. Only in the setup menu the setting can be altered.

 

Track & Layout Used: Verified w/Imola 2016
Car Used: Verified w/Boxer Cup
Applicable Settings: n/a
Report: Software crashes when exiting replay/TV monitor. Edit: Crashes system while driving.
Steps to reproduce: Either while viewing replay, or using the TV monitor (full screen) in a test session, the system will crash when attempting to exit. Edit: Drive for more than a few minutes.

Validated no issues when loading and exiting a session when *NOT* using the replay/TV monitor. Edit: Drove for about 5 minutes before crashing. I had previously driven for over an hour non-stop on Sunday with the Boxer at Imola without issue.

Started tonight. No issues after initial 1.5.1 release. Did observe a small update via Steam in the last two days or so? Related? Anybody else?

 

I believe this is by design. Pick what you want and then stick with it. Shouldn't be switching shifting methodologies while driving and it can likely be used as a cheat online if they allowed it. AMS has properly programmed and realistically configured transmission options--it's not just a simple auto-shifting driving aid any more.

 

I did see a micro update that went on yesterday.

 

Solution?

 

v1.5.1 didn't fix this problem, I still have it.

@Domagoj Lovric seems a problem really common while racing turbo cars again, last time was a problem related to audio maybe it is back again after the last audio code rework?
