Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Last round of custom championship, Cadillac dpi, at Bathurst, real weather, 19x time, started from pole, 90% AI, 70% aggression. The AI were impossibly quick and passing at crazy spots from impossibly far back as well as banging into the walls. The weather changed quickly from cloudy to rainy and again in the space of 3 corners the tack was soaked again. I could barely keep the car on track and the AI were driving like the track was dry still even though they were on slicks. I pitted for wets and the car all of a sudden would not drive in a straight line in the pits, it was pushing to the right and went past the pitbox, would not stop. Eventually was able to reverse back to pitbox and the car started rotating to face in the garage while the pit crew serviced it. Then all of a sudden hot a message that I had terminal engine damage and retired on the spot, was very bizarre.

 

Version: 1.2.0.8
Report: Steam Stop button is not killing the game process when needed to kill game due to any hang issue on the system.

 

Not sure if it's a bug or just how it works, but on custom championship I set the weather to real, real time, a date a few years back, If I come back into the game to continue where I left off (the start of a race for instance) the weather is completely different when shouldn't it be the same as when I left it?

 

Yes, had the same happen to me. Race tonight was tipping down with rain, I cancelled and exited, went back in and it was dry sunny weather.

 

Track & Layout Used: Spielberg F1
Car Used: Formula Ultimate
Applicable Settings: irrelevant
Report: not all laps are counted if one goes off track.
Steps to reproduce: do a custom race and be bumped off track especially on the in-field and that lap will not count. The timer will just continue until the next lap.

 

Track & Layout Used: Nurburgring combined
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Weather - Anything with a wet track but the sunset is visible
Report: Sunrays and sun reflection come from below the track. Ie the sun is not visible already below the horizon but will reflect on the track nevertheless. Whether or not there are trees blocking where the sun is supposed to be according to the reflection.
Steps to reproduce:: drive any car on the wet track when the sun has gone down already but red glow in the sky. Even when it’s foggy one can see the sun reflection at times in the puddles.

 

My Above 2 reports are when in VR (oculus) by the way. If that makes a difference.

 

Custom Championships, realistic time, real weather, no time acceleration, no assists, real wear and fuel usage.
Can't set the pit strategy to take any fuel.
Can't change pit strategy in a race to take fuel. I just end up running out of fuel after about an hour.
Standings in a multi-class championship don't appear to be separated (listing by class).
At preview, and when spawning in, the labels don't show "Practice" or "Qualify" but once you spawn in, you get the correct session(s).
On a lighter note, I'm racing against Renato Simioni!

 

Track & Layout Used: Any Track
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: VR, wet track
Report: Rain spray off cars' tyres (rooster tails) makes everything, including the track transparent. I can see the spray through other objects, including the environment. It's particularly jarring when the cars in front go over the crest of a hill and I can see the trails of spray through the track.
Steps to reproduce: It happens every time I race with a wet road.

 

Track & Layout Used: Oulton Park International mainly; though tested others with same results.
Car Used: Sprint Race (single-class races configured).
Applicable Settings: Custom Championship - tested creating new championships with mutliple race rounds, but also single-race championships. Tested both with Mandatory Pitstops on and off. Tested both with race limits set by Laps and Time.
Report: Unable to have fuel added as part of a pitstop. This is true even if using a Pit Strategy created outside of the Custom Championship that does include refueling.
Steps to reproduce: Create any Custom Championship and perform a pitstop with a Pit Strategy selected that should add fuel.

I know this has been reported already, but I wanted to add as I have tested this as thoroughly as possible. I wiped all of existing Custom Championships and created new ones, today. I verified that the Pit Strategy was working in Test Day mode.

No matter which combination of settings I choose (e.g. long race, short race, measured by laps/time) the issue persists. I presume it is a blanket issue with refueling in all Custom Championships.

For me, this is a real shame as it is preventing me from committing to this game - the Custom Championship is effectively the only game-mode for me right now. I am able to work around this, of course, by adjusting the starting fuel to see me through the race. I must admit, I haven't extensively tested how the AI deal with this. Look forward to seeing this fixed and happy to provide further testing if required.

 

I just wanted to add that this issue occurs in any championship, not just custom. In early revisions, this was not an issue, as I have played a couple of the non-custom championships. I have not tried single races yet, so I'm curious.

 

Track & Layout Used: -
Car Used: -
Applicable Settings: Rain
Report: Roco 001 needs some brighter rear lights hardly to see them in rain/spray or at night.

 

Track & Layout Used: -
Car Used: F-Retro 1, Lotus 72E
Applicable Settings: -
Report: Left and right mirror different zoom factor

 

Version: 1.2.1.0
Settings/environment: VR with Oculus Rift S
Report: Small issues noticed while viewing a replay (and in past experiences):

- The VR "gaze cursor" disappears in the replay view with no apparent way to bring it back when you hide and unhide the UI.

- The "Exit replay" button is not highlighted on mouseover and can't be moved to with the d-pad. Combined with the first issue, this occasionally makes exiting replays in VR a bit awkward.

- Viewing a replay often creates a duplicate of the replay when it starts. The cancel button in the "Saving replay..." window doesn't work. These duplicates take space, delay replay viewing and add admin time when you delete them. Duplicates to delete can be hard to find in the UI if you're looking for one that was created a month ago from a replay originally saved a year ago among tens, hundreds or more items in the gallery.

 

I can confirm refueling works fine in the other, non-Championship modes. This includes Test Day and Single Race.

I haven't explicitly tried Multiplayer, but I suspect this uses the same architecture as 'Single Race' so I would suspect it is fine there, too.
