Automobilista EA bug report thread (Please read the opening post)

Track & Layout Used: Salvador
Car Used: Marcas
Applicable Settings: Racedepartement race
Report: Game decided that it had to repair damage. I did turn it off during race after i hit a wall, but then you get this"box is ready msg" when there are still 6 laps left, so i pressed the button to not box and pressed it again when it was necessary. So it resets the "repair rule"?, but the tire rule (change only front tires) didn't change as far as i can tell.

 

Track & Layout Used: Curitiba
Car Used: FReiza
Applicable Settings: x7 tire wear, 75% AI strength (don't judge me )
Report: AI Cars lose the plot and do donuts instead of racing. They can't rejoin the race because they just keep going in circles. Restarted the race 4 times and the same thing kept happening.

I have a replay file of one of the races where I come to a stop on the second lap to watch the chaos. Maybe on the first lap I may have contributed to some cars spinning out but I admit nothing.

Would uploading the replay file allow you to see the problem or does the replay file contain any sensitive info?

 

Sorry, the track was Cordoba, not Curitiba

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer, while on Practise (didn't tried on Qualy, but should happen as well)
Report: When using DynHud widgets like the DeltaTimingWidget, TimingWidget and TimeCompareWidget, when someone leaves or joins the session, these widgets gets 'confused' or not functional at all for the lap that you're current doing. After you finish the lap, they start working again.
Steps to reproduce: Use the widgets, join a MP session. Go to track and while on a valid lap, someone joins or leaves the session: the widgets will stop working immediately!

 

Track & Layout Used: Interlagos GP 2015
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer

Report: Reconnaissance laps isn't working properly. I activated the Reconnaissance Lap on PLR file and setted the pit open timer for 600 seconds and time to reach the grid after the pit closes to 300 seconds. When we reach 6min05sec of pit open, the server restarts, like if we've finish a race.

Steps to reproduce: Open a server and reproduce the things that I said above

 

Track & Layout Used: Interlagos Historic
Car Used: Retro
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer, practice session.

Report: Discovered during a pickup event online - I lost the tail coming out of Curva 4/Junção and speared off the left side of the track, hitting the fence. I received an instant DQ from the event. Also happened to another competitor in the same session.

Steps to reproduce: Attempt same maneuver (?)

 

Track & Layout Used: VeloCitta
Car Used: F-Vee
Applicable Settings: online race, 21 players
Report: graphical glitch: the front tires have a wrong color. They are fine at the beginning of the replay, then change color in the second half. Could it be my computer missing some memory?
Steps to reproduce: loading the replay…

 

Track & Layout Used: All
Car Used: Formula Extreme
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer listening server
Report: HDV mismatch for client everytime joining server. A friend of mine and I have uninstalled, deleted both steam game and my documents automobilista folder and done fresh install, same problem. We both only use the exact same car .dds and .veh mod, no other custom files.

Steps to reproduce: start game, host a multiplayer server with F-Extreme, ask a friend to join, when he enters the game he get kicked for HDV mismatch.

 

Please in the F-Extreme is not the color of the wheels of the pilots, always looks the same color. They will solve this problem? There are many leagues Formula 1 we use your game and we are not happy about it. Thank you for your work.

 

two graphics bugs that do not know if were fixed in beta
first, cars that have windshield, on several tracks appears a white triangles in front
second, the new skies are awesome, however, appear with wrong horizon in some occasions

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer, all sessions.
Report: When someone joins or leaves the server, the new DynHud stops and the screen freezes for few seconds (1s to 2s). The drivers names on Hud always get confused too. My name is switched for another driver in Map or Standings for example.
Steps to reproduce: Join a MP session. Go to track and while on a valid lap, wait for someone joins or leaves the session.

 

Track & Layout: Any
Car: Any
Applicable Settings: All sessions
Report: The native HUD reports incorrect sector split times for sector 2. Currently it's reporting

Code:

sector2_split = current_sector2_time - last_sector2_time

This results in an error margin of exactly 'sector1_split'. The correct sector 2 split time should be calculated as follows

Code:

sector2_split = (current_sector2_time - current_sector1_time) - (last_sector2_time - last_sector1_time)

This will give the true delta for the sector.

 

Track & Layout Used: All
Car Used: F-extreme
Applicable Settings: Relative Fuel Strategy="0"
Report: Although you can't set fuel for the pit-stop stategy the tank is emptied when i make one.
I can't add fuel but they can take it away?
Steps to reproduce: set Relative Fuel Strategy="0" in .PLR file

 

Report of three problems:

1 - Formula 3 - It has been said, but the maximum fuel 40L does not run a race 30minutes (Example: Goiânia);
2 - Formula 3 - Bug in cameras, except cockpit view and tv cam (at least in the replay so);
3 - Formula Retro - Refuelling is permitted in Practice, Qualy and Race, what I remember, it was not allowed.

 

Thanks, I don't know what MFD means, I think it is strange when you can't add fuel it's possible to take it away.

 

ok, coming home I take screenshot

 

Thanks for the explanation, makes perfect sense. Since I used to have to use a game controller to play I had assists on which allowed me to set the AI to a higher level. Guess that's why I never saw this happen before.

Now that I have my first wheel, all assists are off but I need to build my skill up so that's why my AI setting is so low.

 

English:
this is the video , white triangles bug on screen

portuguese: resolvi gravar um vídeo pra explicar melhor, veja nas árvores os triângulos, to usando graficos no full, AA em 8x multisample e sweet fx on, acontece com a maioria dos carros com parabrisa e na maioria das pistas (se não, todas), uma hora mais fraco, outra mais forte, não acontecia no GSC
baixa e assiste, no preview em qualidade baixa não fica tão perceptível
gravei com o fraps, mas da pra sacar e ver no WMP
