Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Applicable Settings: Recenter view on boot under virtual reality.
Report: Disabling "Recenter view on boot" does not actually disable VR recentering at startup.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start AMS 2 in VR, looking forward.
- Go to settings and disable "Recenter view on boot" setting.
- Quit the game.
- While looking to the right, start the game again.
- Note that the headset gets recentered to the right anyway.

This is rather annoying since it not only messes up the seated head position in AMS 2, it also does it for every other VR game as well. This is with a SteamVR headset (Vive Pro) if that makes a difference.

Note: During startup in VR, it seems the "vr head mouse" feature is also enabled for a few first seconds while the game is loading even if its disabled in the settings and the recenter happens before this. So perhaps the recentering is done before the relevant user settings are even loaded.

 

Sorry if this has already been noted.

Sorry if this has already been noted, not a major problem
Track & Layout Used: All
Car Used: Sprint Race Cars
Applicable Settings: VR
Report: The driver in VR is using the paddle shift animation rather than sequential shift.

 

Version: 1.5.5.6
Car Used: Lotus 72
Track Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Custom Championship
Report: Right mirror in VR setting, cannot be changed horizontally. Left mirror does change position.

 

Version: 1.5.5.6
Track & Layout used: any track/car combination
Car Used: any track/car combination
Applicable Settings: start automobilista 2 dedicated server, allow host to change car/track and enable AI fill empty spots
Report: start your own dedicated AMS2 server and disable server control car/track which means host can change track/car from in-game once connects to server and enable AI to fill empty slots in server. If player does not change predefined car or track in the server, then AI can fill empty slots in the server without problems. If player change track or car from in-game once he connects to server, then AI cannot fill any empty slots. This bug is not present in project cars dedicated server.
Steps to Reproduce: once host connects to the server and change the track, or car class, then AI cannot fill any empty slots in server.

 

Track & Layout Used: Barcelona GP (no chicane) (possibly other tracks, haven't tried it yet)
Car Used: Formula Ultimate Gen2
Applicable Settings: Single Race, 33 laps, 2x tire wear, Quali 25 min, private session, Weather: Rain. Also observed in Test Day with no tire wear.
Report: Intermediate or Wet tire temp keeps dropping from lap to lap. My fastest lap is the first lap AFTER entering the event. Returning to pits and going back out makes no difference. Tire temp starts to drop after just a few corners. Leaving the event and going back in resets it and I can drive one good lap again.
Steps to reproduce: Drive in rain with wet or intermediate tires and watch the tire temps.

 

All Open Wheelers:
AI is way too fast on slicks in wet conditions. Seems like they would have almost same grip as on a dry track.

 

Track & Layout Used: Seems to happen in any track
Car Used: RX VW Polo
Applicable Settings: Any other than opponent car engine sound set to zero
Report: High levels of audio distortion/crackling, will go away if opponent engine sound is set to zero
Steps to reproduce: Select RX VW Polo as car for you and opponents, will hear a lot of distortion

 

Game version: V1.5.5.6.2555.AVX
Track & Layout Used: Seems to be all tracks
Car Used: Formula HiTech Gen2 all models including the MP4/8
Applicable Settings: Happens in all game modes
Report: HiTech Gen2 is listed as having Soft, Medium, Hard and Wet tires as options but in the setup menu the Hard option appears as blank.
Steps to reproduce: Load into any mode with a HiTech Gen2 car, go to setup menu and scroll through the tire options

 

Track & Layout Used: Noted at Nuerburgring Nordschleife, but presumably track independent
Car Used: GT3 gen 1, but presumably vehicle independent
Applicable Settings: Noted using historic weather during 20 minute qualifying
Report: No rain, but track was still wet from previous rain. I and AI started on wet tires. During out lap track went from wet to damp. AI continued on to timed lap, as I did, with wet tires. During timed lap track went from damp to moist. Knowing there wouldn't be enough time to pit for dry tires, I completed my timed lap with about 4 minutes to spare. However, most (but not all) AI pitted for dries, thus were not able to set a time before the session ran out.
Steps to reproduce: Set up a scenario where track conditions will change from wet to at least moist during timed qualifying (or dry to damp presumably would have the same result)
Expected behavior: If changing tires to meet track conditions would mean not being able to set a timed lap, then the AI SHOULD finish their current timed lap regardless...

 

Track & Layout Used: all
Car Used: all
Applicable Settings: Happens in all game modes
Report : Everytime I launch the game, I should reconfigure the wheel (G29), always pluged in the same port.

 

Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: Gt1 Nissan
Applicable Settings: N/A, happens in TT, MP, SP
Report: Rear end of the LDF nissan changes after a certain distance threshold is passed. Looks like its drawing the MDF version from afar and the LDF when you're closer.

 

Version: 1.5.5.6
Track and layout used: Buenos Aires No 6S
Car used: Formula V10 Gen1
Applicable settings: 36Lap race with mandatory pit stop - tire change and refueling on. Full grid, AI 112%/Medium, no assists, authentic mode, full damage, dry weather (medium clouds) - If relevant, default skins, just change the drivers' names.

Report: Video attached. When requesting a pit stop, through the icm I selected the option to change tires, refuel and no repairs, but when I stopped in the pit, the system ignored the options and started repairs on the vehicle even with the option off, this took almost 2 minutes and made me give up the race that until then was very pleasant. That was really frustrating. Because of this and other issues, longer races in AMS2 are becoming unpleasant.

 

I also experience this bug, very frustrating. Can happen at anytime when pitting in a race. Repair takes about 2 mins, as you report, but does not repair any damage at all! Possibly linked to re-starting a race, fairly sure it's only occurred when a race is re-started, however not always - some re-started races have been fine. Since exiting a race and reloading (rather than using the in race restart option) to restart, and deleting any pre set strategies, I have not had this bug occur...

 

Version: 1.5.5.6
Track and layout used: Ortona Kart One
Car used: Kart 125cc 2 Stroke
I assume this is a bug, but not matter how I drive I simply can't get heat into the tires or brakes. The only brake that would get any heat is the rear left while the remaining 3 will hover between 11-12 and never go higher.

 

I think some karts only have one brake disc on the rear axle so probably normal behaviour for the brakes.

 

Karts have just one brake disc mounted on the driveshaft at the rear - see image.
Only high powered Karts, like the shifter, have single brake discs at the tires (at all four)

 

Learned something new today! Thank you so much for the information!
