Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Doesn't matter as it affects opponent cars
Applicable Settings: Single race without practice or qualifying
Report: some cars have broken undershadow (look at bmw to the left). This seems to affect random cars and not just one particular car

 

Today's update... karts feel lovely, nice work... but had a few other notable issues.




Track & Layout Used: Granja Viana Kart 121
Car Used: Kart 125cc
Applicable Settings: Short Race, Rolling Start
Report: Rolling Starts see the race start not at the start/finish line, but what appears to be the start of Sector 3... and 2 out of 2 attempts (including lowering the aggressiveness and accident proneness of the AI) they all pile up and wreck in the first corner after the start.

Also as extra feedback... the tracks with one two three four, and how it orders them 4,1,3,2 (alphabetically) is getting at my OCD, lol.

Thanks! Can't wait to play more.

 

Track & Layout Used: Fontana Oval
Car Used: Lola chasis in G2 and G3 Formula USA
Applicable Settings: Test session
Report: Cars have 0 degrees of steering angle, real wheel rotates 900º and ingame wheel goes left to right while stationary:

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any Kart
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: Kart drivers not rendered at distance, and karts looks really strange, more in VR. Old bug not solved.

 

Track & Layout Used: Spielberg 1977
Car Used: Group C (maybe any)
Applicable Settings: multiplayer race weekend (maybe any)
Report: Some of the replay cams in TV view are all over the place, some ending up in the green. Also, in VR the order of the cams is somewhat fishy.
Steps to reproduce: Watch a Spielberg 1977 replay in TV cam view.

 

Update : 24/01/2025 v1.6.3.5
Track & Layout Used: no relevant (tested on 3 tracks : Interlagos GP, Gateway Oval and Curitubia
Car Used: ARC Camaro
Applicable Settings: no preset, Single race, Auto transmission
Report: The car won't start. It stays in neutral.

 

Confirming this issue, also applies to manual gearing. You can still use it with a rolling start.

 

Confirming. It also happens in 3 spots in the downhill section (Historic version also affected but maybe not in the exact same spots). Third spot is in the final turn of the descent (image is too big for upload).

 

Update : v1.6.3.5
Track & Layout Used: Spielberg Short, Spielberg
Car Used: Kart 125cc Shifter
Applicable Settings: Race, 23 AI @ 105 / High, starting last
Report: 100% occurence of big pile up on T1

 

Update : v1.6.3.5
Track & Layout Used: Buskerud Kart Short (and possibly other kart tracks)
Car Used: Kart GX390 Rental & RACE
Applicable Settings: Race, 23 AI @ 105 / High, starting last
Report: AI is too slow to accelerate on race start, making it trivial to gain many positions. Other kart types are also affected but to lesser extent.

Here with the Rental kart:

 

Track & Layout Used: Fontana Oval
Car Used: Formula USA Gens 2 and 3
Applicable Settings: Rolling start
Report: Some of the AI cars start the race in 6th gear, causing chaos at the start. It seems to be an apparently random number of cars each time. In the case of the F-USA Gen3, only Lolas did this, and it was frequently, but not always the same cars.
I tried the other F-USAs and other circuits, it only seems to happen with Gens 2 and 3, and only at Fontana.
Steps to Reproduce: Do a race with a rolling start with the F-USA Gen2 or 3 at Fontana Oval.

 

Track & Layout Used: Donington GP
Cars Used: GT3 Gen2, LMP2 Gen2 & GT4
Applicable Settings: Rolling start, Multi-class, Full 38 car grid
Report: GT4 cars do not appear in the standings at all whilst using GT3 Gen2.
Steps to Reproduce: Set up this multi-class race in a GT3 Gen2 or LMP2 Gen2 car with the above settings.

 

Track & Layout Used: Interlagos Kart 1
Cars Used: kart gx390
Applicable Settings: 120 ai max aggro
Report: Bots still way to slow in the 4 stroke, 125cc ok

 

Track & Layout Used: Indianapolis oval
Cars Used: Formula USA 2023
Applicable Settings: default setup then make the final drive one click shorter and save
Report: Every time you load a session or leave the pits the gearing is wrong. It's too short. Maybe the default road course gearing. Workaround is to load the saved setup that is already loaded before leaving the pits.

 

Track & Layout Used: Interlagos GP
Cars Used: LMDh GT3 Multi LFM
Applicable Settings:
Report:
Yesterday i overtook a LMDh mid race without front splitter, i just checked the replay and i saw he
loses the front in the first lap and then magically got it mounted back on while driving. I WANT THAT TECH TOO!
maybe only a replay bug, but the BMW really seemed relativily fast and stable on track

 

Track & Layout Used: Donington GP, Silverstone National (seems to happen in any track)
Car Used: Ginetta G40 Cup
Applicable Settings: Nothing seems relevant
Report: The Ginetta G40 stutters and won't start. It was OK 24 hours ago, but not now
Steps to reproduce: Start Test day or AI race with the G40. It doesn't get out of the garage, or away from the start if using standing start. Pick any other car - it starts without problem.
I have tried to load AMS2 with the previous patch, and I have rebooted my PC - no change.
What happened since it worked: AMS2 was patched - that's all I know of.

See attached short video for an overview of the problem.

I found the problem.
In Control settings "Automatic clutch" had been saved as "Off". This affects the Ginetta G40 that way - but not the other cars I tested.
The problem is - I did absolutely not change any control settings that day.

 

Track & Layout Used: Daytona Road Course
Car Used: Porsche 963
Applicable Settings: Race
Report: Not getting any fuel on the pit stop despite requesting it
Steps to reproduce: Pit strategy with no tire change set up, unselecting damge.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any two or more classes for MultiClass
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: When you start/restart the game it does not "remember" what class/car selections you had just used last time. In almost all cases - but not all. So if you had just raced with, say, GT3, the next restart it tends to be back at Stock Car Pro Series.

Another thing that happens, every time, is that if you make a MultiClass field, go and run that, then leave the game and return.... they will have the same MultiClass sets that you chose last time AND also the Stock Car Pro Series will have been added to that. So you have to go in and remove that class every time.....

It is like this Stock Car Pro Series is some form of 'default' they use, even though you had valid selections the last time you played anyway.

 

Reproduced. Also happen on a standing start. Would not be surprised it is caused by the banking causing weird issues like the cars sliding. Instant replay video (standing start) from the POV of a faulty F-USA Gen2 AI that starts in 3rd, then 4th, 5th, 6th:

 

Track & Layout Used: Azure (overall problem on steering)
Car Used: McLaren MP4/12 (but i think on all)
Applicable Settings: Controller (xbox 360)
Report: Can't make a turn on Monaco Hairpin (too difficult), on replay full turn is showed as 90 degree as you can see on steering wheel / wheels
Expample (same settings) :
In game: On replay:
