You can cut corner in 1st chicane without getting a warning/penalty.

 

Version: V1.5.0.2.2369.AVX
Track & Layout Used: Daytona Oval
Car Used: Formula USA Gen. 1 - Reynard 95i Ford-Cosworth
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: 200 laps race alone versus AI. Caution with yellow flags in lap 28. Everybody including me pits during Safety Car-period except one AI-driver. Once the race is restarted and under green, the remaining AI-driver goes to the pits. Strategy of this lonesome hero will be unknown forever (or it's a bug).

Video of incident:

Steps to reproduce: Run a long race in Daytona and come across various bugs in each and every try.

 

Version: V1.5.0.2.2369.AVX

Report: All AI-lollipop men are standing at the pitwall despite everyone being in the pits.


Steps to reproduce: Go to the pits under yellow and watch.

 

Version: V1.5.0.2.2369.AVX
Track & Layout Used: Daytona Oval
Car Used: Formula USA Gen. 1 - Reynard 95i Ford-Cosworth
Applicable Settings: No flags allowed in race.
Report: One AI crashed resulting in a pile of cars unable to go on driving. Even repeated pushing of certain cars in order to make them start again won't resolve the situation.

Funny video of incident:

Steps to reproduce: Run a long race in Daytona and come across various bugs in each and every try.

 

Version: V1.5.0.2.2369.AVX
Track & Layout Used: Daytona Oval
Car Used: Formula USA Gen. 1 - Reynard 95i Ford-Cosworth
Applicable Settings: Any.
Report: Timing inconsistencies in themselves and compared to one another between realtive and absolute timings with regard to other drivers. The pictures show several situations, where either the time displays make no sense or they differ from one another in an illogical way. Maybe there's the need of a mathematics or logics guy to fix these errors. I'm pretty sure, that's a tricky one...


Example 1: Guerrero and Zampedri in realtive ~45 seconds behind, in absolute ~9 seconds, Fittipaldi in between them is correct synchronized in both timing views:


Example 2: First error: Villeneuve and Bachelart with relative distance of 0 seconds behind - no one near in the mirror visible.
Second error: Greco in 23rd ~5 seconds ahead while Adretti and Salazar in 24th and 25th A LOT farer away (~34 seconds) - illogic!


Example 3: First error: Every driver without any tenths, hundreds and thousands of a fraction of a second in absolute distance view.
Second error: Gugelmin, Greco and Bachelart with no distance in relative timing, although no car visible in front.


Example 4: Gugelmin in absolute timing ~2 seconds ahead, in relative timing ~6 seconds.


And SO MUCH MORE timing issues I could paste here, so much...

Steps to reproduce: Run a long race in Daytona and just observe the timings. It will be a lot of fun...

 

Version: V1.5.0.4.2375.AVX
Track & Layout Used: Adelaide 1988 (but should be any)
Car Used: F-Classic Gen.4 - Model 3 (can be any)
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Are "wet_skills" values of riders working? Because I race at Adelaide 1988 at 92% opponent strength, when the weather is dry, and it's very OK. But if the track is wet, I am the slowest. Even with wet tires, and some other setup adjustments. I just edited wet skills entries in appropriate XML file like <wet_skills>0.03</wet_skills>, to very poor values, but no, nothing was changed AI are still faster. If I change opponent strength down to some 77%, then , yes, it's OK, cars are much slower...

 

From the release notes. Not sure if this effects you.

• Temporarily disabled effect of driver personality stamina and tire management skills´ influence on AI lap times while AI tire wear & performance degradation is in progress

 

Version: V1.5.0.4.2375

Report #1
Tracks: Anything RX
Applicable Settings: RX Preset and occasionally non-RX preset MP lobbies
Report: Strange black screen post race, doesn't fully cover the whole screen at the bottom and the normal post race "returning to lobby" loading screen is obfuscated.

Report #2
Track: Nürb RX
Applicable Settings: RX preset MP lobby
Report: Lobby occasionally gets split, players in lobby when launching disappear from the race. A lot of interesting behavior going on at Nürb.

Report #3
Car: Lancer EVO RX
Report: Failed shift/neutral bug still present.

 

If you choose the default first championship - Dollara F301, There are a couple of bugs. Firstly, the car is automatically assigned Wets even though its a dry race. Clicking to edit setup instantly changes to slicks. Secondly, I'm using VR and can see my "legs", when I brake the right foot moves rather than the left as this would be a left foot braking car.

Awesome game BTW, only had it a week and love it. Running Steam version 1.5.0.4 but these same bugs were in 1.5.0.2 also.

 

A couple of dirt bugs that have persisted from beta
Kart Cross - no Doppler effect (very disconcerting in replays)
Formula dirt - player car leaves no dust plumes in replay

 

Report #1:
Version: V1.5.0.4.2375
Report:
Keyboard navigation doesn't work in Basic and Advanced setup screens before the race start. I can cycle between buttons on the right, but not cannot switch to tires, fuel, etc.
In the Advanced setup screen cycling between tabs doesn't work, neither with TAB or U,I buttons.

Report #2:
Version: V1.5.0.4.2375
Cars: any
Applicable Settings: Assists -> Authentic, Gearbox -> Manual, Autoclutch -> OFF
Report:
I'm experiencing a weird behaviour with Autoclutch: it's enabled, while setting is set to OFF.
(switching gears without pressing clutch goes smoothly, no horrible grinding sound, switch to N, etc).
When i re-toggle (OFF-ON-OFF) it turns itself off correctly, but most of the times after a game restart or new race it's back to the same behaviour... It's been happening also in v1.4 (and probably in 1.3). Testing was performed on the clean and verified install with fresh settings. Did full settings reset (deleted the AMS2 folder in Docs) just in case, it didn't help.

UPD: also forgot to mention, retoggling has to be done from the settings, doing so via bound key doesn't seem to fix it.

UPD2: great, another heisenbug, seems to have fixed itself for now...

 

Version: V1.5.0.2.2369.AVX
Track & Layout Used: any
Car Used: any
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Debree is not cleaned up after crashes. Some parts are just graphical artifacts, some are collidable.

 

since the latest update multi -player has become worse then ever ,total player controls disconnects i have to restart the game to get them back , lobbys staying at a standstill when everybody has selected the advance button , starting a race when the first 3 get a half a lap start and you are left standing there under starters orders
There is probably more but to be honest multi is terrible experience
Forgot to mention this is with a total game re-install of the game .and also other fellows had the same controller loss as me

 

Version: V1.5.0.2.2369.AVX
Track & Layout Used: any
Car Used: any
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Ηigh GPU usage and temps on this specific screen

I get a very high gpu usage (>75 %) and temps (that s why all of my fans work) in this specific menu screen (right before you click drive). In this example 5 lap race, gr a cars, 22 car grid



This happens only in this screen

 

Delete, bug was caused by a mistake of mine. Sorry.

 

Version: V1.5.0.4.2375.AVX
Track & Layout Used: any
Car Used: Group C , CART FUSA2023
Applicable Settings: Race Weekend
Report - Missing parts, wheels

 

Version: V1.5.0.4.2375.AVX
Track & Layout Used: Donnington GP
Car Used: Mini Cooper JCW
Applicable Settings: Test day, rain
Report - Front tyre pressure is too high with the wets, making them inflate like a balloon and have no grip at all. Been like this since the beginning of this year at least.
How to reproduce: set up any session with rain and a wet track using the Mini Cooper JCW, lower the tyre pressure to its minimum (2.4 bars) and drive for a lap. You see the tyre temperature spike in the middle section of the fron tyres, becoming completely useless.

 

V 1.504 in online races the Puma GTB has a flickering rear mirror (both side and HUD mirror in the middle)

Also the P1 G2 MetalMoro Chevy has a horrible splash effect going on in light rain conditions that completely breaks driver concentration.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Formula Junior
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Car is missing all engine and tire sounds, and sometimes even crash sounds. Can still hear nearby cars as intended. In previous patches, the issue was not consistent on all tracks every time, but now it is, regardless of if it's in race, test day, or time trial. In previous patches, this issue also affected Formula Trainers, but haven't tested those again since 1.5.

 

Track & Layout Used: Fontana Oval
Car Used: Gen 2 F-USA
Applicable Settings: Full rolling start formation lap
Report: On a rolling start formation lap, nearly the entire field will start the race turned completely backwards, and turn themselves around on the infield grass, then have trouble getting into formation. Issue does not happen every time, but I have seen it twice in about 10 attempts at replicating the issue.
