Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Track & Layout Used:any
Car Used: Formula tech v2
Applicable Settings: any
Report: hand animation shifter delay
Steps to reproduce: the sound and shift indicator change before the hands move the paddle

 

Track & Layout Used: Monza '91
Car Used: McLaren MP4/12 LD
Applicable Settings: Any?
Report: Sound issue (pre 1.5.3x) persists.
Steps to reproduce: Drive the McLaren MP4/12 or its LD variant and the issue presents as follows:
Some noticeable audio cuts at various points throughout the rev range and in most of the gears.

Some of the guys I race with have also reported that there is no audio AT ALL for them. For me, there is just odd on/off audio throughout the rev range, like I say.

 

Latest release AI bug.
Track Londrina Long weather clear
Car Roco 001 with 15 AI (at 115)
Problem: During the race I had to give a position back but the AI just stayed behind me and wouldn't overtake even though I slowed right down. It seemed stuck behind me.

 

Track & Layout Used:any
Car Used: Formula Classic gen
Applicable Settings: weather rainy, smog
Report: no rain projection on the carbody, and the rain spray on the small windhsiled vanish at a certain speed

 

Track & Layout Used: Spa 1970, Bathurst 1983, Spa 2022 (applicable to any, don't think track matters)
Car Used: 911 GT1, Group C Porsche and Sauber, Formula Classic Gen2M2, Formula Vintage II Gen2M2 and Lotus 49C. Basically any that authentically do not have driving aids (TC and ABS)
Applicable Settings: Set 'Driving Assists Allowed' to 'Authentic'. Create a Multiplayer Session with TC and ABS allowed.
Report: Setting driving assists to authentic and then starting (or joining) a multiplayer session that allows ABS or TC will give every car TC and ABS.
Opening the Settings -> Gameplay screen and closing it will remove/disable TC and ABS from the used car (only for the client).
Steps to reproduce: Create Multiplayer Session with ABS and TC allowed. Pick car without TC and/or ABS while having those assists turned to "authentic" will still give your car both assists.

 

I reported this issue directly when I noticed it in the RallyCross DLC (I reported it when the DLC was still in beta from what I remember). The VW Polo's opponent cars are causing this extremely bad audio/cracking sounds. But somehow it was never fixed, it happens for everyone.

When I play with the RX cars/RallyCross then the first thing that I do is disabling the opponent sounds(simply setting it on 0), that's the only way to get rid if it. So it's sure what's causing it, the RX cars (surely the VW Polo, not sure about the other cars); opponent car sounds.

I hope that this bug gets fixed one day because it's indeed annoying.

 

I'm not sure I hear audio crackling. It sounds like the dirt surface sound effect, which is really loud by default. Does turning down "track surface volume" in audio settings help?

 

There is audio crackling issue with McLaren MP4/5B on new update 1.5.3.2. Seems to be on low speeds and when using pit limiter (60 KPH).

 

Track & Layout Used: Silverstone GP
Car Used: Formula Ult G2
Applicable Settings: Relevance unknown
Report: The settings screen of the car includes adjustable Active Suspension. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but does this car have that option IRL? I was unaware that it did. In any case, perhaps it makes no difference to the car itself, but the settings are adjustable, so just thought to share. A minor thing, hopefully.

EDIT: This hasn't been an issue at Kyalami Historic (the only other track I've used this car at, so far), so seems like perhaps a small issue after all.

 

Track: All so far.
Car: All so far.
Applicable Settings: Running triple screens if that makes any difference.
Report: Going to Cockpit Configuration menu to adjust mirrors places the driver view below the car, clicking Back return to a normal cockpit view.

 

The mini JCW wet tyres still inflate like a balloon on Donnington park in the wet. Been a year, and a complete overhaul of all tyres?

 

Track & Layout Used: Indianapolis oval (but also other oval tracks)
Car Used: Formula USA 1,2,3,20203
Applicable Settings: Used F-usa preset, didn't drive just spectated from the pits, turned off practice and quail, AI120 max aggression, no mods except for name change mod
Report: Oval track ai stops racing after a lap or two; after the initial shuffle they would get in a line -bumper to bumper- and no overtaking or even attempt of overtaking happens (except for lapped cars).

Screenshot to illustrate - cars acting as a "train", same grid order on lap 4 as on lap 20

 

Track & Layout Used: Hockenheim Historic 1977
Car Used: Formula V10Gen1
Applicable Settings: Watch replay/monitor
Report: No engine sounds from any of the onboard/cockpit camera's, only 2 camera's that have engine sounds are chase cam and trackside cam
Steps to reproduce: watch a car in monitor/replay and change to any onboard camera

 

Track & Layout Used: Granja Viana Kart 121
Car Used: 125cc shifter kart
Applicable Settings: select kart and track
Report: when loading onto the track, the kart gets thrown upside down/on its side in the pitbox, reset car button doesn't work, only when you click drive, then return to pitbox allows you to drive out of the pits
Steps to reproduce: Select the 125cc shifter kart and Granja Viana Kart 121 track and load into the session.

 

Track & Layout Used: Modern Monza
Car Used: Superkart
Applicable Settings: select kart and track as above
Report: The superkart starts swerving from left to right, even when you are holding your wheel steady, with the speed increasing, it gets worse, also the steering is way too sensitive, the slightest bit of wheel rotation and you spin around, they are doing this since a couple updates ago, i will post a link to a video from a year ago where they didn't do it, and were actually driveable, which they aren't now.

another thing i noticed, when you are in the pitbox, it seems as the tyres are still spinning.

Steps to reproduce: Try driving the superkart in a straight line on any track....

Video of a year ago:

 

Track & Layout Used: spain 1991 (seems to happen in any track)
Car Used: Formula hi tech gen 1 model 4 (active supension) and possibly formula hitech gen 2
Applicable Settings: Weather - Sunny or possibly any weather, haven't tested any other weather yet.
Report: tire pressures are skyrocketing and tire is overheating, does not matter what you do with setup or tire compound.
Steps to reproduce: Drive the active cars at any track and see in telemetry, as it shoots up very very rapidly after cornering.

 

What's happened with old norschliefe? I have the DLC but afrer update the old ones layouts disappeared

 

Track & Layout Used: Guapore; haven't tried on other tracks
Car Used: MMX Turbo P3
Applicable Settings: Weather - Foggy
Report: downshift snap oversteer no matter the gear ratios
Steps to reproduce: Tried various gear ratios and final drive settings; snap oversteer on downshift every time

Tried the Roco 001 and that was fine, a blast in fact

 

In Official Events if you click on the Upcoming or Finished tabs it crashes the game

 

Track & Layout Used: Spa 1993 (don't think is track related)
Car Used: Group C - Porsche 962C (may not be completely car related)
Applicable Settings: Online Session, server with driving aids enabled for those who may need them. Personal Gameplay settings with Driving Aids as Authentic.
Report: even with the described settings above, the car had TC and ABS on, kicking in while driving. Gave a very subdued impression of the car, and it wasn't until I glanced the HUD (I drive on VR) turning around La Source and seeing the TC on, that I understood what was happening. It was my first outing with the car after the update, mind you. Going to Gameplay Settings and forcing Aids OFF fixed it. Dicra was at the session, also with a 962C, had the same thing happening on his end, and had to resort to the same solution.
Steps to reproduce: Setup an online session with Driving Aids enabled, have your Gameplay settings for Aids as authentic, drive cars that don't have any aids, and see what happens in your end.
