Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Track & Layout Used: Spielberg historic
Applicable Settings: Steam VR
Report: When you come out of the Bosch Kurve, then you are looking for your marker that is the 100 meter board on the right hand side. However, the 100 meter board is not displayed and suddenly pops into existence. It is very jarring because you are looking and waiting exactly for that and then it magically appears. See the attached image as well, where the marker is highlighted in red.
Steps to reproduce: Drive a car. I drive in Steam VR.

 

This is still an issue on current version.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any track
Car Used: Porsche 911 GT1
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Odd damage model for the front hood
Steps to reproduce: In big crashes that should rip the hood off (as it does in other gt1 cars) the 911 GT1 hood only get the damage decals, and start opening, even on crashes that are strong enough to rip off the wheels, only if you have another strong crash after the hood got "open" and it's quite loose on the front that it does fly off, there's like a two stage for the damage, and the front of the car seems to be a bit tougher than it should (at least comparing to other gt1 cars)

 

Track & Layout Used: Monza 1990
Car Used: Formula Retro Gen 2 - BT 49
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Cannot adjust mirrors vertically.

@robillard3381
Should we keep reporting each car with mirrors that can't be adjusted or is this being investigated across all cars? I don't want to keep creating reports if we don't have to.

Same goes for many dashboard instruments (needles) that don't move for certain cars.

 

I want to add: This happens at almost EVERY track to some texture/road advertisement/track object(almost always a THIN object).

You made a very good clear example, but there is almost no track in AMS2 where there is not some advertising board that is flickering. It's an immersion breaking VR bug and it should and could be fixed by one on one basis (driving on each track in VR, looking for it and fixing it->next, repeat->until all is done).

 

I agree.

 

Bug for the Porsche 962 Low Downforce damage model

the hood does not fall off in strong collisions

 

Track & Layout Used: any track
Applicable Settings: any
Report: When I race with any open wheeler my car's engine is really quiet - on the contrary other cars sound and wind blow are really loud - so much that i cant hear my car's engine when I follow another car. Also got problems with engine sound in Porshe 911 GT3, it looks like it is much more quiet than other GT3 cars
Steps to reproduce: drive any open wheeler on any track, or 911 GT3 for that matter.

 

Version: v1.4.7.2
Track & Layout Used: Indianapolis oval
Car Used: CART gens 1-3
Applicable Settings: 120 skill
Report: Custom AI files are broken, they do not represent the speed skills of the drivers as their pace is all over the place and they are maddeningly slower than they were months ago in the races compared to qualifying...

I was 0.3s faster in qualy... Then over 1.5 seconds in the race...

There's also a train that forms that the AI never try to pass on the car in front with...

Steps to reproduce: Use a custom AI file with any of the CART gens at Indy and find out for yourselves... I've been using the ones that come with the skinpacks from RD...

 

So I figured this out... It's the management settings... Fuel specifically but having tyres as well made them a race... I don't know if they'll be good on longer stints but at least they aren't massively slower now...

Setting it to really low values, IE 0.02 they actually try occasionally to overtake and actually get a benefit vs the player in the draft... Before I could literally just pull out of the draft from T2 or T4 and drive right past most of the train... At least 12 spots each straight...

 

Version: v1.4.7.2
Track & Layout Used: Azure circuit
Car Used: DTM Mercedes or another one
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer rolling start with two cars. Damage enabled on medium level
Report: The car on the right starts with full visual damage when viewed from the other car. However, there is no damage that affect handling and the damage does not show for the player in the car.
Steps to reproduce: I believe this does not happen every time, but seemed to happen every other time.

 

Version: v1.4.7.2
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Dedicated server vs p2p lobby
Report: I race with several of the same people across multiple leagues and have found this disturbing trend.

Racing against p2p against the same driver vs racing them on a dedicated located outside of the country leads to massive ping differences...

Same driver located in the same country
~55ms - p2p lobby
~120ms Dedicated server located in the same country
~550ms Dedicated server located outside of the same country

This happens to every driver from the same country...

Steps to reproduce: Try out the 3 different types of MP with the same driver from the same country as you...

The replay system and interface is abysmal. Buttons that rewind / pause / fast-forward the replay stop working if you switch to another car - you have to hover over the camera options for the functions to work again.

Also no option to switch between laps absolutely ruins the day for people who organize leagues because it takes FOREVER to find a specific moment in a 45 minute and longer race.

The replay system needs serious work, as soon as possible.

 

That problem of mouse cursor not focusing on objects and buttons and having to go over other settings for it to come back again, is not a problem of just the replay screen. Basically every menu of the game has this issue, and it's infuriating.

 

Today Nordschleife Historic (all layouts) was disappered from Nurburgring layot list.
