Automobilista bug report thread (Please read the opening post)

V.1.3.1b
Edit:
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Single Player, Training
Report: u play and go back to mainmenu -> game crashes to desktop

Edit: I sorted out as a ram consuming issue since 1.3.1. After reboot it works for 1 time, but after second try - drive and back to menu - he crashes sporadically to desktop. When i load a track and switch to windows - my ram manager shows 96mb left.

 

V.1.3.1b
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Mini
Applicable Settings: half automatic, auto upshift, manual downshift
Report: auto upshift jump from 2. to 6. gear

 

Edit: Integrity checks more than enough. Its a ram issue. It seems this version 1.3.1 is more ram consuming.

 

Track & Layout Used: boxer cup championship tracks.

Car Used: Boxer cup

Applicable Settings: singleplayer, Championship: 1 practice, 1 qualifying of 30 minutes, 1 warmup, and 1 race session of 30 minutes

Report: goes straight to warm up when starting new race weekend during a championship. had it in velopark, kansai and spielberg. have this issue since 1.3.0 and also in 1.3.1r. when i say restart weekend it goes to practice 1 and everything is fine. i hope this gets fixed, havent tried other champ series, so do not know if this issue is also there.

steps to reproduce: start a championship using the boxer cup. with my used settings. had the issues from velopark onwards, but that is when i started using 1.3.0, hope that this is the info you guys need as this is my first bug report.

 

update: I did start practice yesterday at spielberg, when i wanted to do the practice again today it laoded up the race session, while i quitted to main menu from the preactice yesterday. i only fid that so i already had some laps in and a feeling for the track.

 

When using multiplayer in game (not dedicated server) the following parameters do not work in game.
1. Multiplayer Ai speed
2. Race start type (set for standing does nothing) defaults to fast rolling.

Edit: you change settings to work in the cch file (Ai) and the player file (for race start type)

 

Track & Layout Used:Brasilia Outer Ring & Brands Hatch GP
Car Used: Formula Extreme
Applicable Settings:
Report: Using the same aero package you get different wing setting options for each track
Steps to reproduce:

 

I was exploring the latest update and some of it's content. Its so much i hardly ever get around getting to know all cars. I can imagine that finding all the bugs with so much content is quite difficult.
These errors are not hardware related, but bugs in the coding.

Track & Layout Used: Oulton Park CLassic
Car Used: F-Vintage
Applicable Settings:
Report: Right rearwheel is popping visible/invisible at close range. I suspect a LOD value error, as it's just that one wheel that has this behavior.
Steps to reproduce: As above

Track & Layout Used: Oulton Park CLassic
Car Used: F-Vintage
Applicable Settings: Rolling Start
Report: When doing a rolling start the whole race restarts it self to the beginning of the rolling start. So you get drive all the way just beyond S/F, than instantly you zip back to were the game started. Like you get stuck in a loop. Pressing esc. gets you back to the menu. Trying again gives the same result. Probably some error in the AI file.
Steps to reproduce: As above

Track & Layout Used: Brands Hatch GP
Car Used: all Caterhams
Applicable Settings:
Report: Game completely quits to desktop, even after Steam verified all content twice.
While all other cars runs fine there.
Steps to reproduce: As above

I guess these things are easy to fix.
If i find more i post them.

 

Track & Layout Used: Adelaide
Car Used: Super V8
Applicable Settings:
Report: Fuel lap estimation in Garage are wrong.
Did a 20 lap race in Adelaide, Fuel Comsunption X2. Garage estimation says a full tank lasts 13 laps. But actually, both myself and AI were able to complete all 20 laps without a pitstop.
Steps to reproduce: As above.

I've perceive same behaviour in othe cars and tracks (e.g. Boxer Cup @ Brands Hatch).

 

I just tested and can't reproduce the last two. Can you try creating a new plr file and see if it still occurs?

Then provide complete details of the setup you are testing if it still occurs. (game mode/various settings etc)

 

Track & Layout Used: Goiania
Car Used: Copa Petrobras de Marcas A.I.
Applicable Settings: Difficultly 85%. ~1/2 hour into race. Full field. First race in season
Report: A.I. pitting, skid into fence.
Steps to reproduce: As above.

 

Ok i get on it.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Formula V10
Applicable Settings: All aids off except for tc (low) in garage.
Report: Engine explodes after some laps, temperature between 90/95 degrees
Steps to reproduce: Take a few laps on any track and wait for the Boommmm.

This is not my favorite car, but a friend told me about the problem and I tested it to prove, as I have not seen any reports here on this, the report goes.

EDIT: Today I noticed that FReiza also presented the same question, so I believe the reason is for the last update:
"Updated engine wear parameters in several cars, addressing some reported issues"
Or no?

 

This is wonderful from a sim perspective. But since most people will not know about it, the sensible approach would be to make the default setting not the maximum revs, but one designed to last a full race, assuming minimally abusive shifting. Then, if someone is sure they are a great driver, or, want to take some risk, they can go into the garage and adjust upwards toward or to the maximum rev limit. Default setups should always be somewhat conservative and safe, IMO.

 

Track & Layout Used: Adelaide
Car Used:SuperV8
Applicable Settings:

Track & Layout Used: Adelaide
Car Used: Montana utes
Applicable Settings:
Report: Sound issue with starting up, silent gap between starting and idle
Steps to reproduce:

 

I don't think that's related to a car or track. I've experienced this sometimes with other cars (Boxer, I'm sure of it) and at other tracks (but I would have trouble saying where, that doesn't happen a lot to me).
