Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Track & Layout Used: Nordschleife + GP layout
Car Used: GT3/GT1/LMDH/GT4
Applicable Settings:
24H race,
weather -> sync to race,
4 slots: dry -> rain (normal), fog, cloudy
Report: AI is slow during changing conditions. Im not sure of what and why, but after around 2.5h (closer to 3.5h for full effect) AI is extremely slow. I lost 4 seconds per lap, AI were doing laps around 60 seconds slower, with really slow acceleration and overall speed. I've encountered a crazy moment where GT4 car was trying to overtake GT3 car.
Steps to reproduce: Setup 24h race with conditions as above. Leave the game running for around 3h. Watch AI laptime drop for no reason.

Severity: Low, very specific scenario needed and its not gamebreaking, just breaks competition a little but the game is still perfectly playable.

 

Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer Lobby Set-up / Realism Settings / Tyre Wear
Report: It is not possible to select 2x, 3x, 5x etc tyre wear. Only Off and Authentic are available.
Steps to reproduce: Setup multiplayer lobby and adjust realism settings
Severity: Medium. Unable to specify accelerated tyre wear

 

Massive pain in the butt , I was being caught hand over fist because of a car doing this

 

Track & Layout Used: Adelaide, Ascurra Dirt, Ascurra RX, Hockenheim, Monza (seems to be any track)
Car Used: Chevrolet Corvette C3 (livery doesn't have to have an impact)
Applicable Settings: irrelevant
Report: CTD during loading screen when it is halfway through
Steps to reproduce: choose the C3 and try to load it on any track wheter in Race Mode or in Track Day mode

 

The GX390 kart may have a calc problem with softlock have to exit game and set wheel to 240 degrees and recal otherwise wheel looks like its spinning out of control

 

Suspension connection issues on the Formula Vintage Gen1 Model2

 

Imola 2001:
Was watching a replay in TV camera, and it showed just buildings and trees for 2 laps!!!!!
Finally, after almost 5 years, the devs could get those many broken replay cameras fixed.

In former builds, the replay on this track was working. After inventing this new UI, which is worse than the old one, obviously nobody tested the replays.

 

Track & Layout Used: All
Car Used: All
Applicable Settings: Any rain
Report: Spray visible through cars, own cockpit and terrain
Steps to reproduce: Race in the rain
Pics attached, I hope they convey the issue well enough.
This has always been an issue and I believe was present in PC2. Water spray is visible through other vehicles and can even magically come through your own cockpit, some cars are worse than others. If cars go over a hill you can also see the spray through the terrain.
When bonfires were added, the same was true for them and their smoke I believe, but I don't know if that's still the case.
Sadly wet races can look an utter mess and it's a complete immersion breaker in VR.

 

Curitiba on low fuel motorsport
Formula Trainer
Front wheels not touching the ground
After a spin it is as if the car is beached. Front wheels turn but dont steer the car. Sometimes releasing the accelerator the car will attach to the ground again and steering is regained. This also happened coming out of the pit garrage in qualifying. No steering grip and little propulsion.

 

Track & Layout Used: Kyalami Historic
Car Used: Formula Vintage Gen. 1 / V12-Version
Applicable Settings: Any (warm & sunny in my case)
Report: Car seems to have a physics (or default setup) issue on the rear suspension. About 30 yards after the 300 brake marker before turn 1 there´s a bump on which the car completely lifts both rear wheels for about 4 inches. Which often results in a spin in T1. The V8 car of that same car class stays perfectly planted on the bump.
Steps to reproduce: Set up a race or practice session as above and then observe a V12 in chase cam, preferably in a replay in slow motion.

 

Track & Layout Used: Irrelevant
Car Used: STOCK CAR V8 (Stock Car Brasil) 2019
Applicable Settings: Irrelevant
Report: There is a noticeable pop-up effect with the rear bumper/diffuser. The LOD should be adjusted to disappear at a greater distance than it is currently set.

 

Game Version: 1.6.3.4
Track & Layout Used: Seems to be track independent
Car Used: Formula Ultimate Gen2 (but may also be on other open wheelers)
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Visible tire damage (flat spots) is still visible even after tire change
Steps to reproduce: Drive a F1U2 anywhere and deliberately lock the front tires. Then drive into the pits to change the tires. The status display of the tires changes to full green but the tire damage is still visible on the tread.

 

Game Version: 1.6.3.4
Track & Layout Used: Track independent
Car Used: Car independent (Ginettas, F1 V10 and many more tested, all the same)
Applicable Settings: FFB with gain 100% dampening 0% and FX 0% (to exclude them as the origin of the issue)
Report: Sudden FFB force drop while parked with "Default" FFB profile when moving the wheel
Steps to reproduce: When starting from the box in practice session, slowly move the wheel left than right repeat and increase speed of the movement on each turn (video provid3d for the approx. speed)
With the default FFB profile the parking force will suddenly drop off suddenly, when let go of the wheel it may or may not oscillate wildly (on CSL DD with 25 natural dampening of the wheel base it will not stop until caught or entering the menu)
!!!! WARNING !!!! if using a higher end wheel base this may be dangerous to reproduce, keep fingers outside the wheel at all times ! It is sudden with a 5Nm wheel base , cant imagine what it feel like with 15Nm+, or nothing will happen at all as I do not have access to one , I cant tell.
Demo (included Default+ normal behavior after Default):

 

I think this is a good example on how not to write a bug report.

There are many bugs in all games. Using 5 exclamation points and handing out generalized sweeping insults to the devs how supposedly no replays have been tested is uncalled for. I don't even get how the UI is supposed to have anything to do with the replay cameras glitching out. That post is a combination of being clueless and rude.

 

Game Version: 1.6.3.4
Track & Layout Used: Short and Long Ovals
Car Used: All of the CART and Indycars
Applicable Settings: Default setups (Spooled Diff?)
Report: Horrible understeer off throttle, weaponized oversteer on throttle

Being a big open wheel oval fan, I am very disappointed at all the cars handling on the ovals. They are pretty much undriveable and I suspect it has to do with the differential. Coming from AMS 1 with the CART Extreme mod (let alone rF2 and iRacing) where the cars are immediately driveable, the cars here handle like cruise ships off throttle, and drift cars on throttle. Regardless of setup work.

AMS 2 has always been very sensitive to differential settings, which is why I suspect it is how the spooled diff is acting.
