Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Not sure it is the best place to place this - There is a section for help.

It sounds like a macro from Crew chief or other thirth party software that is map on your wheel button

 

Aha !! crew chief, thanks mate will look into that later

 

LOTUS 23 is missing the driver when using a custom livery.

 

Build: 1.4.7.2
Car: Formula Classic Gen 4 Model 2
Report: Front wing placement in cockpit view is back too far placing it in the suspension. For some reason the replay/chase view is accurate, but the cockpit view (especially in VR) is wrong.

 

This applies to any Custom Championship with Race 1 and Race 2 active, I believe...

Currently, you can set the start time of Race 2 to be earlier than that of Race 1, despite the two sharing the same date and, of course, bearing in mind that Race 2 takes place after Race 1. A very minor 'bug' if you will, but just thought to mention.

 

Game version: V1.4.7.2.2285.AVX
Report: Custom championship point system list has two unnamed entries.

 

Game version: V1.4.7.2.2285.AVX
Report: Custom championship creator. When you have renamed the custom championship you are editing, the "Select track" screen still shows the original name.

 

Game is still saving replays without being asked for

 

There are cars where player can choose between different compounds.
In the UI, where you select the car, it says soft, medium and hard.
But when you are going to select your tyres within the setup screen, they are called slick d, slick c and slick b.
This is a bit confusing and player has to find out which tyres are the soft ones himself.

 

I also find it confusing. Someone to confirm what I imagine it to be:
D - Soft
C - Medium
B - Hard

Thanks

 

I agree, i mean it would be fine to keep them written that way but for the love of all that is Holy, at least they should add in brackets as to what is what. For the ACR you also have ZZR and ZZS ... how the hell is anyone supposed to know what that means without doing extra google search outside of the game ? Should say "ZZS - Wet and dry conditions" and "ZZR - Dry weather orientated)"

 

Build: 1.4.7.2.2285
Track & Layout Used: any
Car Used: Formula Ultimate Gen 2
Applicable Settings: starting TT or Test day
Report: the car is in the air and bouncing up and down damaging itself when hitting the grond



Solved: It was car-setup related, after resetting problem solved (I didn't investigate what settings was causing this)

 

Track & Layout Used: Azure Circuit
Car Used: Ginetta G55 GT4 (but probably any car)
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Shortcuts at chicanes. Chicane track limits don't match the circuit layout and can be exploited to reduce lap times by up to two seconds compared with correctly driven laps.
Steps to reproduce: Drive slightly to the right of the yellow sausage kerb (i.e. all 4 wheels off the track) at Nouvelle Chicane and similarly slightly to the left of the sausage kerb at the exit chicane of the Swimming Pool Complex. For evidence, the current Time Trial record holder for this combination (DudekThePole) can be seen to be cutting these corners in their ghost lap.

 

Car Used: Formula Classic Gen2 Model3
Track & Layout Used: Virginia Grand (probably works for other layouts, maybe also other tracks altogether)
Applicable Settings: warm Slick D tires (please check other compounds)
Report:It is possible to temporarily exceed pit speed limiter when finishing the pit stop. From standstill, flooring the gas and reaching the limiter speed causes the engine RPM to bounce ever so slightly over the imposed speed limit to get a penalty.

 

Happened again. Needed to clean reinstall in order to fix cars misbehavior (Happened before the last big physics update)

Late last week, my PC gone kaputz and I needed to format the system directory (the C drive). AMS2, as most the Steam games in my PC, were installed at D drive.

As I just needed to format the C drive, the Steam was reinstalled to use the games that already have being previously installed in order to save time. The Steam automatically found the game and, over that, the "files check" was executed just in case.

The game run AOk just missing my previous profile and configs that were stored in the doc directory (BTW: This is something that Reiza could try to fix, since this profile lost is both an annoyance to us who developed it for long gaming hours and because it can open a sploit for people to cheat at multiplayer). Things were working fine UNTIL I tested some cars that had physics problems at that time, as the Brabham BT46B, the Lotus 79 and the F-Vintage G2M2 (some other cars had back in that older update, as the FV10G2, but didn't tested it now). These cars experienced severe understeer... even with my steering wheel being perfectly configured (as all the ingame settings, that I don't need to change too much to be working as it should) and trying to do some big car setups (that simply don't do much).

As I remembered that the game behaved exactly like that in the mentioned update, decided to complete reinstall it (deleting both game and doc directories)... and it worked again!

I can't understand why this happens. Can't be the files don't being replaced at the update (as happens with some other games) because my copy was already updated (with the last week's current version, that I believe that is the actual running version). Them, what I can think is that it may be some anti-piracy defense in the game engine that is mistaking some files and making the game behave oddly (as happens with a lot of games as a way to punish piracy) even if I'm not playing the pirate copy. Probably it's something more simple... but as I don't know the engine or how the Steam really work with all that stuff, can't tell exactly.

Well... it's all fine now, but I believe that in the future, with a big update coming, there is the possibility that some of us may have to clean reinstall it all over again. And only Lord knows how many of the players that are complaining about AMS2 physics are playing a "corrupted installation" and pushing forward all the game's actual bad rep.

Abração!

Report: Draconian speed and track limit detection
Steps to Reproduce: At start, was given multiple warnings for driving too fast, had to ride brakes to let AI cars keep up, penalty at start for accelerating at same speed as AI

-Touching the white and teal area on inside of t1 will result in a track limit violation, even if only touching with front left tire.

 

On the Hockenheim Historic circuits(1988 and prior), there’re no trackside replay cameras covering the first and second(Ostkurve) chicanes.

 

Track & Layout Used: Spielberg modern
Applicable Settings: Steam VR
Report: When you come out of the first corner, then the second advertising board over the track has 3 flickering Fanatec logos . For some reason the second from left Fanatec logo does not flicker (highlighted in green), but the other 3 do flicker (highlighted in red). Please see the attached image
Steps to reproduce: Drive a car
I recommend what ever you've done with the second from left Fanatec logo, use the same method for the other three logos as well
