Hi there,

My name is Kelvin and I represent Vertex Esports. We run a regional esports championship and would like to use AMS2 for it. However, we have encountered some bugs, could you assist?

Track & Layout Used: Interlagos Kart Track (Kartódromo de Interlagos)
Car Used: 125cc Kart (no Shifter)
Applicable Settings: Irrelevant
Report: Broadcast cameras shake and the karts shake once the kart engine is started.
Steps to reproduce: Drive the 125cc Kart (no shifter) and watch the race in Race Director mode. The Karts will wobble and shake.

 

Track & Layout Used: Spa 1970 (no chicane)
Car Used: formula classic g1m1
Applicable Settings: Damage high

Report 1: The bug where the wheels don't return to the car when returned to the pits after losing them in an accident...

Report 2: Found a hole on the outside of Blanchimont. I hit the outside armco on the left just before and came to a complete stop in the hole without touching the fence in Blanchimont.

 

New Track & Layout Used: Road America
Car Used: BMW 2002
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer
Build: 1.4.3.0. 2189

I cannot do throttle input at all in multiplayer. No matter which button I put "throttle" on, it doesn't react at all despite the fact that I can change the button that throttle is mapped to.

 

The game does not render the game in the main viewport when running at lower resolution than the native resolution set for nVidia's Surround.

The menu and hud overlays are rendered, but the game world is not, so the viewport is just a black screen with the hud rendered over it.

 

Report: Final lap for qualify only counts players time and not AI laps.
This is most apparent and easy to test in short (5min, one shot style) qualify sessions with slower cars (e.g. 90 dtms on spa).

The player will get the message for the final lap of qualifying and will finish e.g. on place 4th.
The continue screen will appear, when staying on the screen and waiting for some AI cars to finish.
The place may change to e.g. 19th because the final laps of the still running AI cars was better, however after pressing continue the player will still start the race at 4th position.

Steps to reproduce:
- use short qualify time of 5 minutes
- add at least 20-30 AI cars
- be one of the first on the track
- do NOT try to be the fastest in out lap and actual qualifying lap
- stay on continue screen after qualifying for a bit and wait for some AI to finish with better times
- see own position change in result screen
- start race and observe that position change is IGNORED

Build: 1.4.3.0. 2189 and I think all before (never worked right whenever I tested through the years)

 

Track & Layout Used: Buenos Aires #8
Car Used: Metamoro P2
Applicable Settings: timed race (30M)
Report: Half of the field got the cool down lap notification while the leaders were still on the final lap, but it was not even across the board, some in the back of the field did not get the notification and were able to overtake the cars "cooling down". By the time the leaders finished their final lap people were already on the final screen with the save replay button. It appears that the race showed that it ended prematurely for them.

EDIT: it looks like the leader crossed the line within milliseconds of the timer going 0:00. So it have some drivers +1 but not all. I wonder if that relates back to slight syncing differences.

 

Track & Layout Used: Buenos Aires #8
Car Used: Metamoro P2
Applicable Settings: timed race (30M)
Report: During practice and Quali, about 3 players out of 22 would get notifications for pit penalties while sitting in the pit stall, or driving down the pit lane below the limit. This happened every time they were in the pits which ended up giving them grid penalties.

 

Track & Layout Used: Jerez Moto (No Chicane)
Car Used: Ginetta GT4, GT4 race
Applicable Settings: MP race, with countdown to the race
Report: During the countdown to the race start, the UI will not respond to mouse clicks, keyboard or wheel inputs. Could not click "ready"
Steps to reproduce: Simply wait for the lobby to roll from quali to race.
Note: Playing on Release Candidate V1.4.3.0.2189.
Also, noticed a new symbol (most likely a save icon) on the bottom right - I highly suspect that it was the cause of the issue.

 

Over-saturated Colors when using Quest 2

Track & Layout Used: Laguna Seca 2020 (Happens on any track)
Car Used: Cadillac DPi-VR (Happens when using any car)
Applicable Settings: Weather - Medium Cloud, 0:00 (Easiest way to see the problem)
Report: The colors when using the Oculus Quest to are way over saturated. This is clearest when looking at dark areas, where the color-banding is extremely obvious.
Steps to Reproduce: While this happens on any track, with any car, it is clearest when looking at dark areas, specifically ones that have gradients. The easiest way to see the issue is to look at the clouds when it is night, there is extremely obvious color banding caused by the over saturated colors.
While I am not a developer, I believe that this may be related to the problem: Set Color Space | Oculus Developers
This only happens when looking at the game though the Quest 2 headset, and doesn't show up in screenshots. As such the attached photo is edited to recreate the effect.

 

Track & Layout Used: Jacarepagua Historic 2005
Car Used: Formula Ultimate 2022
Applicable Settings: Online
Report: I approached a lapped car late in the race into T1, broke way early and lined it up to follow them through the line of T1 only to see them run wide and I was forced to take the inside as they backed off. To me it all looked clean and no damage or any warnings. Only to hear over VOIP that I had rammed them off track from behind on their end.

I had no damage, they were forced to retire.

It was all smooth on my end no major warps, they saw me 1 second behind them heading into T1 and suddenly I was in their rear.

 

Track & Layout Used: Hockenheim 1977

Track & Layout Used: any
Car Used: any
Applicable Settings: multiplayer
Report: people being invisible to other people, resulting in a crash for the invisible person. This bug has been reported in the past probably, but it is a gamebreaking bug and it is already there for a couple of months. People will abandon AMS2 if it doesn't get fixed.
Steps to reproduce: pretty simple: organise a dedicated multiplayer lobby and organise a race. The invisible car looks like it's hovering over the track or the car is somewhere high up in the air. See
