Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Track & Layout Used: Azure circuit, Interlagos GP
Car Used: BMW Procar M1
Applicable Settings:
10 minutes Qualy in a Custom event
Weather: Real one
Time progression: Real time
Weather slot: Real weather
Livetrack preset: Default progressing
All the test without rain
Report:
The final times at least in Qualy when using the "Skip to end" option are 1.5 or near 2 seconds faster compared with the ones not using the Skip to the end option.
To calibrate my AI for custom championships I use a qualy in a custom event to calibrate the AI level so I am between 5th to 10th, I set up 10 minutes in a custom event with real weather and check my position at the end, then repeat the qualy in the same conditions but with different AI level till I am in the desired position in the final results of the qualy. To make the process faster after the first try I started to use the "Skip to end" option so I could get the final position faster, but then I realized the times had nothing to do with the times when not using skip to the end. The final times of AI cars at least in Qualy when using the "Skip to end" option are 1.5 or near 2 seconds faster compared with the ones not using the "Skip to end" option.
Below some data:
Circuit: Monaco
Car: BMW Procar M1
Final results of Qualy not using the "Skip to end" option:
1st 1:45.663
2nd 1:45.757
3rd 1:45.760
Final results using "Skip to end" from the beginning:
1 1:43:963
2 1:43.983
3 1:44.166

Circuit: Interlagos GP
Car: BMW Procar M1
Final results of Qualy not using the "Skip to end" option:
1st 1:43.065
2nd 1:43.086
3rd 1:43.135
Final results using "Skip to end" from the beginning:
1 1:41:516
2 1:41.553
3 1:41.965

I noticed if you only use the "Skip to end" when there is only one or two minutes to finish the Qualy then the difference is smaller, but still evident.

Steps to reproduce:
As explained above, just create a 10 minutes Qualy season in a Custom event, select the M1 and Monaco, then first leave it finish without using the "Skip to end", then repeat the same but this time use the "Skip to end" option as soon as the Qualy start. You will see the times in the second time are between 1.5 to almost 2 seconds faster.

Track & Layout Used: Goiania in the examples below, but it is independent of the track
Car Used: Stock car 2024 and BMW Procar M1, but I think id not dependent of the car
Applicable Settings: Happens in custom championships, I tried in one made by myself with the BMW Procar M! and also in the default championship "Stock car pro 2024", but I think happens in any of them
Report: This happens in any championship, a default one or a hand-made one. The examples in the screens below are for the default Stock car pro 2024 one.
- At the beginning of the championship my flag is the correct one, the spanish one:

In the free practice, if I press ESC, you can see now my flag is the wrong one, the brazilian one:

At the end of the race, in the screen of points assignation you can see the glag now is a white square:


As said this happens in any championship, default or hand-made, It happened to me with the Stock car and the BMW Procar M1, but I suspect it happens with any car also.

Steps to reproduce: Explained in the Report part.

Version: 1.6.4.3
Track and layout used: Road Atlanta (No Chicane)
Used car: GT4
Applicable Settings: See Intro of video linked in post below
Report: This has generally been reported many times, but rarely with video footage. At the below time stamps there is an AI car crashed and in a dangerous position between Turn 1 and Turn 2, there are no yellow flags for this car. The same car is still there the following lap, and again, no yellow flags on display. The video may or may not help, but if I don't report it, it definitely won't be of any help to you

00:57:00 Missing Yellow Flag
00:59:00 Missing Yellow Flag (Same Car, Next Lap)

Need. More. Videos! C'mon guys!

All the best

Track & Layout Used: Interlagos (likely applies to other tracks)
Car Used: N/A (happens in online races)
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer race, full track map enabled
Report: A yellow box appears on the track map for yellow flags. When it clears, the green flag indication also appears. No yellow flag indicator on many incidents, instead immediate FCY or simply nothing was observed.
Steps to reproduce: Race online (FCY enabled!), enable the full track map, and observe flag indicators when a yellow flag is triggered. Notably, in over 90 races at Interlagos, a yellow flag briefly appeared (about 0.5 seconds) and was also detected by Crew Chief via UDP network. No video evidence yet.

 

Track & Layout Used: Independent of the track
Car Used: Independent of the car
Applicable Settings: As far as I know not affected by the settings
Report: You select Options->Gameplay->Automatic clutch=Off, you leave the game without changing this, so Automatic clutch Off, in some occasions when you launch the game again the Automatic clutch is in On. This do not happen always, but certainly happens, I am forced now to check it everytime I launch the game to make sure is in off, and it still change alone.
Steps to reproduce: I was unable to notice any steps to make it happen, seems like happens randomly. I am aware I need to press the Save button, it happens pressing the Save button.

 

Track & Layout Used: Adelaide SST
Car Used: Trophy Truck
Applicable Settings: Time Trial
Report: Taking Turn 8 (the fast right-hand kink at the back straight), the game lets you wall-ride without damaging the car, and wall-riding is significantly faster (about 1 second) than taking the corner normally. Please also note that Time Trial leaderboards will need to be reset for this track once this is fixed, because all of the leading times use the wall-ride.

This also appears to be a Time-Trial only bug. In races it doesn't count as a track limits cut so you do gain time, but in races doing this gives you a lot of damage, so it's not worth doing this in races, but in time trial it doesn't give you damage for doing this.

Steps to reproduce: Please see this video:

Thank you!

Report: sometimes the car behind or to the side is not reflected in the mirrors

 

Track & Layout Used: Daytona Road Course
Car Used: IMSA Classes (LMDh, LMP2, GT3)
Applicable Settings: Practice, Qualifying - dry weather
Report: LMP2 cars are driving erratically, speeding up to pass GT3 cars only to slow down in front of them afterwards. This persists throughout the session. It almost seems like they are trying to respect blue flag rules if the GT3 cars have set a faster time in the session up to that point. As the practice session plays out and the LMP2 cars eventually set faster times, they stop behaving in this way and are more aggressive to pass and stay ahead of the GT3 cars.
Steps to reproduce: Not sure if this is the result of the AI changes in the latest update in regards to cold tires. Or more likely the AI being confused by blue flag behavior in a non race session. Whatever's the cause, it makes the different classes trip over each other.

Applicable Settings:
Report: Message Replay Gallery is full. But it isn't. HD is also not full. Also after restart same message
Steps to reproduce: no clue

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Menu - Presets
Report: Selecting a preset will filter the list of tracks to those featured in the series. If you select a track and then go back into the track selection the filter will no longer apply even with the "filter preset" checked. To fix this you have to clear preset in the main menu and re-select the preset.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Select a preset.
2) Go into track selection and choose a track from the preset.
3) Go back into the track selection and notice how it's not filtered by your chosen preset anymore.
4) Clearing the preset and re-selecting it will fix the issue until you try to change tracks again.

Edit: Strange it's not doing it anymore, maybe I clicked the preset filter somehow but selecting the preset would turn it back on?

There is no mechanical failure enabled and only visual damage, so there is no reason to retire. AI should be able to make extra stopp and repair and rejoin the race after crash, if happens.
