Found not one but two strange bugs
Number 1
Version: 1.2.2.0
Track and Layout Used: Cadwell Park (may be with other tracks too)
Mode played: Test day (may be with other modes)
Car Used: Superkart, and other kart too
Bugs: Only rear left brake temp changed during the race. The other three kept staying the same, not changing at all. Especially in the case of Superkart, left front brake overheated from the start.
Steps to reproduce: Select any kart, select a track, start the game and watch the brake temperatures.


Number 2
Version: 1.2.2.0
Track and Layout Used: any track
Mode played: any mode
Car used: any car
Bugs: After press Start to get to the track, go to Option > Edit UI. Select cockpit and choose Map to Full. Start the race and the map is no where to be found. I already verify installation files few times and cannot turn the map on even with Map option is Full.

 

Track & Layout Used: Kansai GP (maybe any)
Car Used: GTE (maybe any)
Applicable Settings: irrelevant
Report: Replay file gets copied when watching
Steps to reproduce: Save a replay to disk and then go and watch it. Then check media folder.

I assume this is a known one but as I didn´t read anything about it in the past 10 or 20 pages, well here we go: Yesterday I saved the replay of a 1 hrs race to disk. Now whenever I load the replay to watch it, the game saves a copy of it to the media folder right before it starts playing. So after watching it twice I had three copies of the same replay file with same size but different names in the media folder.

 

I have not seen this before, Minor yes, but odd or bug nonetheless.
Track & Layout Used: Bathurst Online @nemesis session.
Scenario. I join as spectator Record Nemesis, switching cameras (with . +&-)
Car Used: Would not matter I suspect.
Applicable Settings: ? n N/A
Report: In chat of Nemesis replay (u tube) A message of 'uff 12 degrees' come up From Maser V6 pic 1 . at end of race host resets car and track and I leave a message pic 2 'Have a good race gents etc' Some time after I leave my message and the uff 12 thing are inherited by Elberto R junior.
I suspect uff12 was from switching cams as I typed nothing at the time.
Steps to reproduce:
Join a session as a spectator. swithc cams as above, leave message, check replay own and of host.

Long Beach Pits "already occupied" or Pit Box not visible

rack & Layout Used: Long Beach
Car Used: G40 cup
Applicable Settings: Clear early morning
Report: Multiplayer - 22 drivers - 3 drivers reported message "Pit Box Already Occupied" 4 drivers reported not seeing their pitbox at all (and made multiple passes of pitlane)
Steps to reproduce: 45 minutes - fuel 3 x making a pitstop essential.

3 Drivers got "Pit Box Already Occupied" but could pit anyway
4 different drivers just could not see pit crew or box marking (tested coming in unannounced, announced, and waiting until game told them they had to pit because of low fuel)
2 drivers reported the pitcrew did not follow instructions (Fuel only - but got tires as well .... this could have been user error - however all drivers were instructed to double check their preset selection before race started)

This error ruined the race for 1/3 of the field of our league race.

 

I think I've found the source of the pit box not visible issue.

If I have "Pit crew detail" set to None the "Pit Stop Visual Cue" doesn't display, but the pit stop does actually work if I stop in the right place (if I can find it). With Pit crew detail set to player only the visual cue shows properly as well as the pit crew.

I tested 5 other tracks and the problem only occurred at Long Beach. The problem occurs in any session type.

 

Good find Darren. I have pit crew off as well. And it happened to me.

 

Found a soloution! Problem solved!

Version: 1.2.2.0
Track and Layout Used: Daytona
Cars: Any
Bug: Daytona image "stuttering-glitch". It doesnt happen all the times but rather randomly. It is like the flow stops (graphics pause for some milliseconds) and then continues. Mainly on the fast part of the track (before start - finish line). "May" also accompanied with sound "glitch" (smth like zzzzz)
Steps to reproduce: Drive any car in the circuit. It happens randomly

 

Version: 1.2.2.0
Track and Layout Used: Oulton Park Classic
Cars: 60's Mini and Lotus 23
Bug: Weird visual glitch in the hairpin when following the Lotus 23, large, flickering, black bars shooting off of the car in front.
Steps to reproduce: Follow a Lotus 23 in the Mini around the hairpin.

 

Eventhough the most stubborn Reiza boys will probably defend this as a very speziale feature in AMS2 then the game has begun to make some kind of lets call it "uber puncture" of the rear tires.
Its in the TT mode and when this feature does appear its impossible to be allowed to do any further laps.
Because even after restart of a new session then the car does still stay in this very speziale Reiza service state when you press Start.
And the car stubbornly stay fixed on the tarmac.
The only possibility is to exit and completely restart the game.

ByTheWay: If this feature was the only severe issue with AMS2 then it maybe would be possible to still keep some kind of optimism for the future of this disaster.

 

In response to Bruno's post, I've had the same bug pop up quite a bit. "Money shifting" and a few weird occasional glitches make it do the whole warped tyre thing.
