Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Version: 1.4.1 (also happened in earlier ones)
Track & Layout Used: Termas de Rio Hondo (seems to happen in any track)
Car Used: Superkart
Applicable Settings: Dry
Report: Invisible stuff "appears" in road surface
Steps to reproduce: Drive superkart race with AI or friends and after some time (in our case around 20min) something invisible has come to back straight and karts start to behave oddly. Just like there would be invisible puddle of water or oil or something. This has been noticed before with other tracks with ai. But this time we had many people noticing the same thing during race.

 

Version: 1.4.1
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Trucks
Applicable Settings: Replay
Report: From memory Sunday 28th. In replay trackside the tyre noise is loud/same sound and volume as in cockpit view. Higher than truck sound.

 

Version: 1.4.1
Track & Layout Used: Fontana sports car course
Car Used: n/a
Applicable Settings: track detail low
Report: background mountains flicker in and out (LOD bug). Edit: Very annoying in overcast conditions as it changes the lighting a lot.




Also noticed a popping in white line on the outside edge of the exit of the oval of old monza 10km layout, on the pit straight. Also long-standing lod issues affecting brake marker boards at old spielberg, and at monaco at the nouvelle chicane and tabac

 

Version: 1.4.1
Track & Layout Used: gateway oval
Car Used: CART 1998 iirc
Applicable Settings: rolling start
Report: both ai and player cars hit the outside barrier during the rolling start

 

Version: 1.4.1
Report: I have emboldened bullet points still relevant as of v1.4.1

I also suggest an 'Oval' filter for the Track grade filter menu. A reference of correct circuit grades is avaliable from the FIA https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/circuits_fia20200302.pdf

 

Version: 1.4.1.2136.AVX
Track & Layout Used: Daytona NASCAR Tri-Oval
Car Used: Omega Stock Car
Applicable Settings: single race, AI skill 120, aggression MAX, default car setup, dry track
Report: AI too slow and braking randomly, from last to first in 5 laps then constant 1+ second gap to second place (and I'm not that good at racing ovals)

 

Verifying files did initially fix the issue, but it returned today and seems a bit random. In our first MP race I had no issues, but in the second race we had three drivers suffering from this.

 

Not sure about the "goes left" part - but the engine sound cuts off in high revs, making it hard to know when to shift up. I'll test stopping and rev'ing the engine next time it happens and report back.

 

Track & Layout Used: Jacarepagua Short
Car Used: Puma GTE
Report: The Puma GTE drives like the suspension is rock solid. The car has no body roll.
Steps to reproduce: Drive the Puma GTE

Ok disregard the report. Once you relearn it, it's actually quite intuitive. I just wasn't used to it sliding around this much.

 

Version: 1.3.8.3 & 1.4.1.0
Track & Layout Used: observed at Donnington GP (G55 GT3), Imola modern P.Cup 4.0), Spa 2022 (911 GT3)
Car Used: 911 GT3, 911 Cup 4.0, G55 GT3
Applicable Settings: multiplayer (no special settings), single player, fresh race start & after race restart (quick race with no practice, no quali)
Report: ABS & TC don't work in race
Steps to reproduce: MP: join lobby in quali (ABS & TC work), continue to race
SP: restart race in a car with TC&ABS

Hello!
TC and ABS sometimes don't work in SP and MP races. In MP both system were functional during qualification, but in race there was no TC & no ABS on my car. In SP quick race sessions ABS & TC were gone randomly - sometimes in a fresh race start, sometimes after a race restart.

When this happens there is no TC & ABS - they don't do anything to prevent lockups/traction loss,+/- bindings don't change the setting & there is no text message on screen. It has happened in v1.4.1 ( MP 911 GT3, SP G55 GT3) and before in v1.3.8 (MP 911 Cup 4.0)

Edit: have done some more sessions with DPi on Road America, same as above. In quali TC works, advancing session to race TC doesn't work anymore. Same if restarting a race with no practice/quali session.

 

Track & Layout Used: Spa 2022
Car Used: GT3
Report: AI too slow at turns 7, 8 and 9 (Les Combes)

New Version: 1.4.1.1.2139
Track & Layout Used: Gateway and Fontana
Car Used: Formula USA Gen 2 and 3
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report: Saved replays from both races, every time I click a replay to view it works, but when i go back into the replay menu that same replay is cloned, it keeps going every time its viewed.

 

Version: 1.4.1.1.2139
Track & Layout Used: Laguna Seca
Car Used: Group C but might not make a difference
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report: Apologies if it's been said before.
Lollipop men are running out into the middle of the track at Laguna Seca when the AI was pitting during the race. Was in Group C cars.
Sorry I didn't have time to check it twice in a row because I must get to bed and AMS2 has been keeping me up too late since the update. LOL. I wanted to throw this on here so I don't forget.
They're passing right through the pit barrier onto the start/finish straight like they've became out of place.

 

Version: 1.4.1.1.2139
Track & Layout Used: any
Car Used: superkarts
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report: Supercarts seem undriveable in straight lines. The vehicle keeps going left and right all the time. Seems smth is broken

 

Version: 1.4.1.1.2139
Track & Layout Used: Virginia Full (probably not track dependent)
Car Used: Metalmoro
Applicable Settings: Single Player, Race Strategy
Report: When adjusting the tire pressures in strategy menu, the front left (first) has the sound file of a switching menu row, however, it should be the "click"-sound as for the other 3 tires, switching pressures. Very minor bug, but simple to fix as well on the way

 

Version: 1.4.1.0.2139.AVX
Car: Mini JCW
Track: Any
Report: External audio is still really weird for this car. In trackside replay approaching cars sound like they are receding (wind tearing and exhaust note), and receding cars sound like they are approaching (no wind, less exhaust note). It's been like this since release. If it's as designed then my apologies.

 

Version: 1.4.1.1.2139
Track & Layout Used: Fontana Oval (maybe other ovals, too)
Car Used: Several Formula Cars with low downforce aero
Report:
Cars leave their garage spot extremely aggressive, sliding like crazy. Some produce a donut and then crash into pit wall where they are stuck for the rest of training/qualifying.

 

Version: all
Track & Layout Used: all I belive
Car Used: any
Report: Randomly the lap counter doesn't increment at the start of Lap one it reamins at Zero.
You do get the full number of laps but the counter is one less than it should be.
