Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Track & Layout Used: Guaporé
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: In the custom file FFB thread have noticed that in this circuit we can't feel anything when driving over the kerbs, nor even at getting off the road and driving over the grass. It is maybe a bug or an absesce of the forces delivered to the racing wheel.

 

As a clarification, I want to add that this issue has been tested with some FFB profiles (custom and default) and several cars, and the result has been the same. So it seems to not be related to custom FFB nor cars.

 

Track & Layout Used: Monza
Car Used: Corvette GTE
Applicable Settings: Single-player race in championship mode
Report: 2nd race of weekend and the date defaulted to 24/3/19 even though it was set for a date in summer 1985 like the first race was. Also with the 2nd race had the snowy looking sides of track with black foliage. Race was nine laps, just GTE field

 

Track & Layout Used: Nuerburgring 24h
Car Used: Gt3 Porsche, BMW
Applicable Settings: Two different settings: 1. Single Player Race, 4 wth. slots, cloud, rand. rand. sun. 30x time. 2. Multiplayer server, alone on the track touristenfahrten.
Report: Crash to desktop during the race / while driving. Activates the crash report sender (don't know if it helps to use it or write something down).
Steps to reproduce: Crash to desktop happened exactly at the same place. 1st or second turn after the Karussell. Seems therefore reproducible. [AMD 6600xt, Windows10].

[edit] Could not reproduce it a 3rd or 4th time. Instead, I had one of the best and immersive racing experiences through the night at this wonderful 24h circuit. So maybe false alarm...

 

Version: 1.3.7 RC
Track & Layout Used: n/a
Car Used: Opala 1979
Applicable Settings: VR
Report: Shift light doesnt work.

 

Version: 1.3.7
Track & Layout Used: Watkins Glen GP
Car Used: P1
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer w/AI
Report: Joined a lobby with multi-class (DPI/GTE/GT3/P1) and almost all the AI were damaged, missing tires, body parts, floating but keeping up normal pace.

Also, AI was very fast in straight, yet int he turns I could catch and pass, very unreal.

 

Version: 1.3.7
Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: N/A
Applicable Settings: Game bugs and update requests
Report:
1. As lobby host you have to hit "CONTINUE" up to 6 times to get to move to next phase of lobby.
2. When cars are set to "AUTOMATIC" shift, many cars (not all) you when you hit DRIVE will not go without manually shifting. however, every time this happens, to fix it you have to hit ESC/OPTIONS/GAMEPLAY/BACK/BACK/RESUME, then the car will auto shift.
3. The country flags are not consistently correct in lobbies, always changing.
4. Can't join lobbies that don't show full. You get errors sometimes saying CANNOT JON SESSION. LOBBY CONTAINS TO MANY PLAYERS yet on the BROWSE ONLINE screen it'll say 22/25. To me that should have 3 open slots.
5. When you exit out of lobbies (or they are full, too late to join), when you EXIT it takes you all the way back to the RACE MENU screen, I feel it should take you back into the BROWSE ONLINE screen. Very frustrating.
6. From the BROWSE ONLINE screen, if you hit JOIN and the lobby has less than 3 minutes left, you can't join. Can you add a warning message to tell people that you can't join, maybe SESSION HAS LESS THAN 3 MINUTES REMAINING, CANNOT JOIN AT THIS TIME. Or something.
7. Please add the ability to adjust the brightness on the LED screens in cockpit mode. At night the LED dashboards are so bright, it hurts your eyes on long night races.
8. Please add adjustable side view mirrors in cockpit mode (non-VR).
9. Many cars still have foggy side and rear-view mirrors. Very inconsistent, sometime they are good, ten next time bad..
10. P4's have no dashboard lights in cockpit view.
11. Fix penalty system. ACC has a great system, even if you cut, if you don't gain time you shouldn't get a penalty.
12. Corvette GTE (and many cars) the fuel estimates are way off. Ex. Corvette GTE at Monza, lobby was set to 8 laps, set fuel to 10 laps but ran out at the end of lap 7.
13. GT3 BMW M6 pretty much stalls off of the line on Standing Starts.
14. Please add country flags to the cars on line.
15. Please add a paint booth, something like ACC would be fantastic. However, if this is a sponsorship issue, then leave all the sponsorship stickers, just allow us too customize the color, patterns and numbers so we can enjoy online races, get an identity and really get immersed.
16. Please add light up or glowing number plates on the IMSA type cars.

 

Yeah I've had this happen to me as well with autopit enabled (had to drive out of the garage manually sometimes). Autopit is generally very flakey at the moment, you can't tell whether you will get back out of the garage. Just got to turn the whole thing off at the moment I reckon, or just dont go into the garage until you have finished the session.

 

Version: 1.3.7 (But has existed for ages on past versions)
Applicable Settings: Hud and Performance Settings.
Report:
When I set the Texture Resolution to Medium in the Performance Settings, the Hud's Speedo (on Minimal) and Car Info are blurry. There is no blurry issue when on the Texture Resolution is set to High and Low.
The other HUD elements seem unaffected by Texture Resoltion = Medium, including the Full option for the Speedo.
I had discovered this months ago, but had forgotten about it when I set my Texture Resolution to Low. I tried bumping it up to Medium to have a nicer cockpit and was instantly reminded of this issue so I thought I should report it.

Texture Resolution = Low


Texture Resolution = Medium


Texture Resolution = High

 

V. 1.3.5 (It was literally a few hours before the 1.3.6 release candidate launched if I remember correctly)
Track & Car Used: Caterham Superlight at Donington National (But bug is independent of that)
Applicable Settings: Online Race
Report: Online race ending on different laps for different drivers.

I meant to report this one from a few weeks ago but kept putting it off, apologies for only doing it now. The bug happened again, where when P1 and P2 cross the finish line side-by-side and 0:00 left on the time remaining (and no +1 lap). The race ended for P1 and it didn't end for P2. It was basically the same situation as my previous two reports, so the explanation is the same. I just thought it would be a good idea to add another example since I imagine its difficult to replicate. Go to 1:06:30 of the video linked to see it in action, the link should automatically take you to the timestamp.
Video link:

Frosty who finished P1 didn't still have a screenshot of the results from his POV, but he had recorded it at the time since this was part of a little league we run. Here is what his recorded results are, showing that myself (in P2) and him where only 0.026 seconds apart at the finish.


If you watch on in the video, you will see that the lobby closes before I even do another lap, so I never got to see the results screen from my POV. I never got the Cooldown message and countdown warning, it just ends abruptly.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Any game controller, no damping (0%), no steering speed sensitivity (0%)(Don't remember what this setting was called, it's the one that reduces the available steering range at high speed), no stability control
Report: Steering has some sort of damping or delay that makes driving without stability control basically unplayable. Large steering inputs, e.g. moving the steering quickly from 1/2 right to 1/2 left to counter oversteer, then moving the steering back to straight to avoid overcorrecting, are "transitioned" by the game, adding delay and elongating what should be incredibly quick motions, meaning I can't catch oversteer. AMS1 allows this to be turned off, but no such setting was found in AMS2.
Steps to reproduce: Drive with a game controller (Playstation 5 controller tested here) on any track with any car with the above settings, and push the car. Step on the gas too early, set the brake bias too far back, get the car out of shape and try and catch the oversteer. Observe as the game says "no" when you have to be quick with the steering to save the car.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Traction Control, Stability Control, ABS
Report: Cannot turn off Traction Control and ABS while having Stability Control.
Steps to reproduce: Go into the menus, turn off TC and ABS but leave Stability Control on. Exit the menu, then re-enter the menu and observe that the aforementioned changes haven't been saved.

 

Same here, I use Xbox 360 wired controller. This has been reported a bunch of times since the game's release but unfortunately nobody in the development team ever said anything about fixing this issue.

 

Version: 1.3.7 RC
Track & Layout Used: n/a
Car Used: Happpens on multiple cars, i last had it on formula vintage g1m1
Applicable Settings: VR, butapparently also happens on screens
Report: When pitting, the camera shakes

 

I was afraid of that. I wonder if it's something with the Madness engine, or a deliberate design choice. I just hope it doesn't become one of those bugs that never gets fixed 10 years later

 

Version: 1.3.6.2.2000AVX
Track & Layout Used: Oulton Park International
Car Used: F309
Applicable settings: Online, default setups, with AI
Report: Absurdly low steering ratio, requires full lock or more to get around even the most open of corners. I returned to practice immediately afterward and it functioned like normal. It only bugged out in the multiplayer session. It wasn't understeer given braking performance was still normal.

 

Version: 1.3.6.2.2000AVX
Track & Layout Used: Spielberg
Car Used: F-V10 Gen 1
Applicable settings: Offline Championship,120% AI, 100% Aggression, Dry Weather

Version: 1.3.6.2.2000AVX
Track & Layout Used: Spielberg
Car Used: F-V10 Gen 1
Applicable settings: Offline Championship, Wet Weather
Report: AI are inhumanely fast, and are not balanced with their comparable pace in the dry. Makes setting the AI % a pain

 

Version: 1.3.6.2.2000AVX

Car Used: F-V10 Gen 1
Applicable settings: Offline Championship, Pitstop, Automatic compound selection, Dry tires -> Dry tires
Report: Tires briefly appear as wet tires when put on the car, but when the car is released the tires become dry tires

 

Version: 1.3.6.2.2000AVX
Track & Layout Used: All
Car Used: All
Applicable settings: Replay after finish of a race session
Report: Media controls at the top of the screen are initially unresponsive to mouse movement, must mouse over other UI elements on the header to be able to select the media controls. Often occurs after selecting a different driver on the left tower of drivers.
