Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Track & Layout Used: Nürburgring 24h 2020 Layout
Car Used: Every car
Applicable: None
Report: The trackside Banner "Michael Schumacher S" is missing in this version of the track, but it was definitly there in 2020 (please see screenshot from google maps).



Steps to reproduce: Just drive

 

Track: Imola 88 (maybe others, too)
Car: F HiTech Gen 2 (maybe also with other cars)

The setup gets reset to default after leaving garage.

Example: I go to the setup screen, have my changes, press "done" and go on track. Soon, I realise that nothing has changed, So, I go to pits again and check the setup and see that it has switched to the default one again. Game only accepts setup changes when I save it with a custom name.

 

In time trial when you reset session, TC and ABS stay disabled.

 

Track & Layout Used: seems to happen in any track
Car Used: seems to happen in any car
Applicable Settings: seems to happen with any weather
Report: Half the field, including the host getting disconnected randomly from multiplayer sessions, no matter how big the grid, last time it happened it was 4 of us driving. No issues all race, and suddenly the host and one driver get disconnected for no reason.
Steps to reproduce: Host a server through ingame hosting or dedicated server

 

Problem: Won't restore default settings.
Practice session - Porsche GT3 in Cascavel - In the garage, I reset the settings to default, because the settings I had loaded were the ones I had made for another track. Visually, I got back the original values, but when I clicked done and went back to the settings screen, the system showed the previous settings - several attempts and the same problem, including restarting the game, the problem still persisted.

 

Problem/QoL Request: When making a championship template, it's possible for the user to accidentally exit without any confirmation (as the back button sound can respond before the visual change of going back, this lead to me clicking the back button again), thus erasing progress.

Suggestion: In the event of making a championship template, if the back button is pressed while editing a championship, there should be an "Are you sure you'd like to exit editing the championship without saving?" dialog box.

Short race 20 minutes and 1 pitstop.
Time and weather: x1 clear weather, some clouds.

During pitstops time some of the lollipop men in pits went running to the middle of the track at the start finish straight. I'm not sure if he was my team's because I had to comply with a stop and go and didn't stop (I was disqualified at the end) Hilarious but inmersion breaker.

 

The lollipop guys are standing on the road instead of the pitlane on many tracks, not just on ovals.
At least, they are ghosting and you can not crash into them...
