Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Track & Layout Used Any
Car Used:McLaren F1 GTR
Report Front wheels texture bug

 

Track & Layout Used: Long Beach, Le Mans were tested but it's probably the same for all tracks
Car Used: Group C / Porsche 962
Applicable Settings: AI set to 103 for dry, 0.5 (lowest possible setting) in the wet
Report:

1. AI cars are too fast in the wet compared to a human player. AI strength was set to 103 for dry weather racing so they run at a similar pace with the player controlled Porsche 962. The AI wet weather strength was set to 0.5 (lowest possible setting) and they are still way faster than a human player.

2. Wet tyres grip in the rain is to low, the car is sliding under power on corner exits and understeers on corner entry. There seems to be very little grip difference between soft tyres and wet tyres in the rain.

3. Porsche 962 is very low on power compared to the other group C cars and it's impossible to keep up with the AI on fast tracks like Le Mans, no matter what settings you use. According to the in-game data, the Porsche 962 has 710HP, while the Nissan has 918HP and the Mercedes C9 has 850. Would be nice to have a late version 962 which had over 800HP for balanced racing.

Track & Layout Used: Imola 88
Car Used: N/A
Applicable Settings: Replay
Report: In "Acque Minerali", there is a replay camera which is placed behind a forest. You do not see anything on track there.

This issue (camera placed behind buildings or trees) occurs on so many tracks. Someone of the devs might take care about those broken replay cameras.

Track & Layout Used: n/a
Car Used: ALL GT3's
Applicable Settings: n/a
Report:
All my GT3's had 3D Springs and Center dampers unlocked and editable.
All 3D springs and Center dampers defaulted to a value of 1 making setups very sketchy.
I suspect those settings should not be accessible to players.
I think bad defaults may be assigned under the hood even if those settings are locked I just got lucky to see this behavior. I had this bug for weeks since 1.6 dropped.

Track & Layout Used: any
Car Used: McLaren 720S GT3, Porsche GTP, BMW GTP, Mercedes GT1, BMW GT3
Applicable Settings: any
Report:
1. McLaren 720S - the sound is more on the left side
2. Porsche GTP - the sound is more to the left.
3. BMW GTP - after the patch the sound better. Transmission sound is fixed. But now engine sound more to the right.
4. Mercedes GT1 - the sound is a bit left, but better than on all the others.
5. BMW GT3 - sound is normal, but directional mistake if looking to the right or left. Also when viewed from the bonnet, the sound will only be on the left.
Steps to reproduce: All the sound is fine except for the engine sound. Just need to get the revs up. To test, you can flip the headphones another side to see if the engine sound comes from one side less and the other more.

 

(Fixed - did a "Reset to Defaults" for my controls)

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Custom Control User Set (Logitech G29 + Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals)
Version: 1.6.3.6
Report: Throttle input seems to have a problem for Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals. The input is going to 100% with very little pedal input.

I've calibrated in-game and using the Thrustmaster pedal calibration tool several times. The pedal input value when calibrating in either the tool or the game show the value I'd expect for the amount of physical pedal input. But, as soon as I get out on track, pedal input is almost on/off for any car. This makes getting through 1st and 2nd gears almost impossible without spinning.

I've also tried with other sims and no issues there either. I'm not sure whether this is due to the latest update or another recent update as I only had to recalibrate this week. I'm using the default deadzone and sensitivity values for all pedals.

Brake and Clutch pedals do not have the issue.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: A championship with two races per round.
Version: 1.6.3.6
Report: Both races are named as 'R1' in 'Calendar' and 'Race 1' in the 'Sessions' tab. Also both races have 'Q' sign instead of 'R'.
Steps to reproduce: Start existing or create a new championship with 2nd race enabled.

 

Track & Layout Used: Spa 2020
Car Used: G55 (probably irrelevant)
Applicable Settings: Championship, real weather at 14.01.2019, progressive live track, x25 time acceleration, 1 hour race starting at 14:00. AI 102. Fuel and tyres usage at x2. 1 mandatory pit stop.
Version: 1.6.3.6
Report: It is raining quite decently and the car is basically undrivable with dry slicks. Still, the AI would start the race with slicks, and pit stop in the first lap to change to wets. I restarted the game a few times to see if something would change but it didn't. I ended up just pitting with the AI after the first lap in order to still be able to get a race.
Steps to reproduce: Probably no need for championship, just start a race with the above configuration.

 

Track & Layout Used: Daytona Road plus Indianapolis Oval (seems to happen in any track)
Car Used: McLaren GT3 plus FUSA (seems to happen with any car)
Applicable Settings: Long Races (over 45 minutes)
Report: After around 45 minutes the frame rate tanks and I get lots of graphical glitches (VR) making finishing the race almost impossible. Only been an issue since 1.6
Steps to reproduce: Drive longer races over 45 minutes.

 

Based on Game Build: 1.6.3.6.2820
Request Title: Safety Car
Description: Currently the safety car does not allow unfolding
Benefits: It would be incredible for people who are down a lap to be able to recover some position, the races would be much more exciting.

Based on Game Build: 1.6.3.6.2820
Request Title: Wipers
Description: The windshield wipers cannot be turned off when they go into extra time, they should turn off automatically
Benefits: It's obvious

Based on Game Build: 1.6.3.6.2820
Request Title: Fourth monitor and triple native monitor
Description: Natively you can't set up triple monitor and a fourth auxiliary monitor. You have to turn off that fourth monitor and turn it on once the game is open and sometimes the image contracts and that's not possible.
Benefits: Nvidia surround would not be necessary

 

Based on Game Build: 1.6.3.6.2820
Request Title: Why does it never keep the car or the appropriate skin when re-entering the same server?
Description: Whenever I enter an online server, in my case I run on LFM, usually the game selects the wrong car and skin than the one you have last selected on the test server and it is very annoying to always have to choose the right car and skin again.
Benefits: I prefer not to be choosing the car/skin in a loop every day, it's very irritating.

Based on Game Build: 1.6.3.6.2820
Request Title: Why do I have to go to the menu to be able to put (or not) the steering wheel and hands visible inside the car?
Description: It would be wonderful to be able to record the videos for reporting in LFM without the need to toggle the cockpit view inside the car by having to exit the menu each time and then exit again to leave it as it was before.
Benefits: I prefer not to do these repetitive things every day and several times, it's very irritating.

Based on Game Build: 1.6.3.6.2820
Request Title: The windscreen wiper stays on in the box
Description: If you are in practice or qualifying and you have your wipers on (whether it is raining or not), once you return to the pit lane, they stay on for the entire time until the server moves on to the next session.
Benefits: A game of this level (I think it's the best in many things, especially physics, sound, graphics and FFB) deserves not to have these annoying little bugs.
