Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Applicable Settings: Multiplayer and Auto Clutch off
Report: Game forgets the calibration for the clutch pedal during the start of a new MP "weekend" (practice or quali) forcing drivers to recalibrate/remap their pedals. Everyone with auto clutch off in one lobby had it happen, leading to half the lobby being unable to leave the pits. The correct pedal calibration carried over into the race, but would immediately reset to the bugged "no clutch" state once the next quali session started. This went on for 3 sessions in a row before I left to join another lobby, which didn't have the issue.

It happened to me a few months ago, which is the only reason I knew to tell everyone to recalibrate their pedals. I figured it was just an issue with my instance of the game previously, but with 5+ players complaining about it in the same lobby for several races, it sounds like an issue in specific lobbies.

 

Track & Layout Used: Interlagos Historic 1976
Car Used: any
Applicable Settings: any
Report: When cars leave the track, they pass through the wooden and wire fences, without anything happening.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: n/a
Report: Replays still send full signals to haptic devices/motion platforms when they should only be active from the cockpit during practice/race etc.
Steps to reproduce: Watch any replay with haptic/motion connected, then hold on to your teeth.

 

I think I’ve heard that this might already be patched out in the beta, but just in case, I’d like to document it here:

Track & Layout Used: both Monza 1971 (no oval) and Spa 1971 (1000k) (seems to happen in any track, but will only actually be relevant on a handful with high top speeds)
Car Used: Chevrolet Corvette C3.R
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Gearbox seems to shorten artificially when entering the setup screen to do anything.
Steps to reproduce: Take the C3.R to a circuit with long straights, go out for a lap without touching the setup (should be decently geared, at least at Monza), then return to the pits and enter the setup screen. No need to change anything, just go back out and at Monza you’ll nearly hit redline before Curva Grande on pit exit. The gearing can not be re-lengthened in the setup screen, either on final drive ratio or individual 4th gear ratio. To get it back to the default gearing, I’ve had to close the entire game and reopen it - hitting “reset to default” or even backing out of the session and restarting the weekend didn’t seem to fix it.

At Spa it seems as if the default gearing is too short regardless and the car hits redline long before Masta Kink - and the AI Corvettes fly by going dozens of MPH faster than my car, so it doesn’t seem to be a limitation with the car.

It almost feels as if the car gets set up as if it had a fifth gear, to the point I’ve actually tried to shift to one which obviously doesn’t exist.

Report: There is incoherence between FFB/feeling and visuals, leading to 'bad physics' interpretations/comments and here's why... (so I think). Some call it the center-wheel effect, like the car is rotating on a wheel on the center of the car (CoG ?). In this video

, on the last part of rotation, it's obvious the cockpit view shows the front of the car sliding/rotating/pivoting somewhere else... in fact, the trackside view shows otherwise, the car should be rotating on the FR wheel.
Steps to reproduce: Make good donuts (not what I did ) see cockpit view and compare with external views

My guess is the game will feel completly different afterwards, still running the same physics

 

Track & Layout Used: Fontana Oval & Indy Oval, Formula USA 23
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: After 2 pits or so during longer races, the pit crew sends the car out with .30+ bar more tire pressure than set, and its not just cause they're hot. Some also reported that it will only do it every other pit after the first occurrence. This happened to the entire field during our Fontana 200 lap race, and at least half the field during our Indy 500
Steps to reproduce: MP Lobby, normal tire/fuel wear, after 2 stops or more the tire pressures come out wrong even if you're using the same custom preset. Signs of this bug have been around since 2021 when we ran a Daytona 2.4 hour and DDF got minimal tire pressures when he had it set correctly in a preset.

 

Track & Layout Used: Fontana Ovall, Formula USA 23
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Not sure if this is ping related but there seems to be a track defect on Turn 3-4 at Fontana. One raced bottomed out the car which caused him to go airborne.
Steps to reproduce: N/A

 

disregard, double post.

 

Track & Layout Used: (not relevant)
Car Used: (not relevant)
Applicable Settings: Race with some AI
Report: AI false start by getting into reverse gear, maybe this is a feature ? (major driver error?)

 

Track & Layout Used: (not relevant)
Car Used: BMW M6 GT3
Applicable Settings: (not relevant)
Report: In the extended setup you can crank up the "Slow Rebound" to 223! (should be 23 i guess)
Steps to reproduce: I think it's always there
Version 1.5.0.5

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Formula Inter (maybe others, too)
Applicable Settings: Race
Report: When in pits, game does not give you the choosen tyre pressure but just any!

I have set a certain tyre pressure in my pitstop settings, saved the strategy and picked it for the race. Then before pitting, I also checked whether the right strategy was there in the ICM. But I did not get the tyre pressure I wanted to have, though.
In the first screenshot, you see what I had set in my strategy, in the second, what the pressure actually was after tyre change.

 

I think the pressure in the menu is cold pressure, and when it drops on track its higher as the tires are warm. But there is a pit bug pressure issue though, generally its a more dramatic change than this.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Formula Inter (maybe others, too)
Applicable Settings: Race against AI, 20 minutes, two weather slots (sunny/rain, 5x weather progression):
Report: AI does not have any proper tyre strategy at all, it is all coincidence

Did two races with this settings, in both, the track was wet in second half of the race.

Race 1: No mandatory stop. Most AI stayed out on slicks the whole race, the track was completely soaked, though. Just crawling around and losing much time instead of changing tyres.

Race 2: 1 mandatory tyre stop. All AI pitted once, but half of the field in early stages of the race when it still was dry. They all changed to slicks again and then, when track was completely wet, decided to stay out instead of doing a second stop, without having any change to have a proper lap and compete with the other half of the field which came in later (when it rained) for wets.

AI should pit when situation on track makes it necessary, no matter if mandatory stops are activated or not:
Wet weather- Wets (If those cars do not have all weather-tyres)
Dry weather - Slicks/Dry tyres

The way it is now makes races in changing weather conditions rather worthless.

 

Track & Layout Used: seems to happen in any track
Car Used: Copa Classic B (any car)
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Sky starts flashing in VR as cars jump into the pits during an online MP race.
Steps to reproduce: Have cars dive into the pits during a MP race, other cars that drive by the pits will see the sky flash black. If far away from the pits the sky doesn't flash, only seems to happen close to pits.

 

Please just remove the car jacking up in the pits if this bug is causing difficulty to fix.
Having the car raise up in the pit box is less important than having an immersive experience on track.
With a sim as pretty as this, when people see cars floating above the track it ruins the experience and I'm seeing it in almost half the races I'm involved in.
If I had the choice to prioritise 1 bug fix, this would be it.
Thanks.

 

Track: Imola historic 1972
Car: Any formula
Settings: With any setting except the absolutely hardest springs - that only minimise it
Report: Since day one there has been an unrealistic hole in the mesh. And if it has been there in RL all drivers would have been killed

 

Track: Imola historic 1972

Report; I thought this BUG which has been from day one was solved 2 upd back. But it has returned.

 

Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: N/A
Applicable Settings: Saved Replay (about 1h long)
Report: I am getting a message in replay theatre saying the gallery is full but there should only be one replay in there as I deleted loads of not needed replays anymore and it says I don't have any saved replays.
