Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Track & Layout Used: Interlagos 1976 (All versions)
Car Used: all
Applicable Settings: Yellow Flags issue
Report: Race never back to green flag.
Steps to reproduce: The cars need to back to race, they goes at the end of race under yellow flags.

 

Track & Layout Used: I've seen it happen on Interlagos, Road America, Mosport and others. I doubt it depends on the track.
Car Used: I've seen it in GT3 and LMDh lobbies, with various cars. Again, I doubt this is relevant.
Applicable Settings: ???
Report: The setup is reset to default any time the setup screen is opened. Once I've had it reset even without re-opening the setup screen (i.e. it wasn't applied at all after closing it), but most of the time it is applied, as long as I don't re-open it.
Saving the setup seems to make it "stick", even when one re-opens the setup screen.
Steps to reproduce: Don't know. Seems to happen in some lobbies and not others. There's a lobby run by one guy where I get this issue consistently. Other people in that lobby seemed unaffected.

N.B. I am NOT refering to the change in the last update where changes to a setup aren't automatically saved across sessions and the setup is reset to the default each time. This happens within a given session.
Although, I had never seen this bug before the last update, so I'm guessing it's related.

 

You can find an official answer to this bug here. It's an older bug that still appears. They created an internal task to look into this / fix this. So hopefully it will be fixed in the not so far future

Track & Layout Used: Buenos Aires Nr. 6 with chicane (maybe other tracks, too)
Car Used:F_V10 Gen 1
Applicable Settings: Training/Qualifying/Race
Report: Skipping the session and moving on to the next does not work. When clicking on "Continue" after simulating first session, the clock symbol appears once again and does not disappear anymore. Have not seen this issue on some other tracks I tested afterwards.

V1.6.8.1.3017
Track & Layout Used: Cleveland (Bug happens anywhere)
Car Used: Formula USA Gen 1 (Max Grid Size, bug happens with any car)
Applicable Settings: Race
Report: When doing longer races starting at 200+ fps, the fps will randomly lock itself to 60, then down to 30, then to 15 until the game is unplayable and you're forced to retire. (Currently watching the monitor view at 12 fps..)
FPS returns to normal after the end of the session.

This has been happening for a long time across many updates and has happened on different PCs as well as my friend's PC.
This is the second 100% distance race in a short time I've been unable to finish because of this bug.
Temps are all good, 65c on the CPU and 60 on the GPU, no signs of memory leaks. This is incredibly discouraging on attempting longer sessions.

 

I can only confirm that. During longer races, the fps drops dramatically.

 

Bizzare I know, but try it because in my experience this workaround never fails, and I found it by complete accident. Happens to me at Long Beach in Long races (2hr+) when the transition from day to night is complete. Also happened at Bathurst, Nordschleife 24hr, and Road America iirc.

When the framerate starts to drop, pause the game, go into photo mode, select drone cam, move the camera (doesn't matter where, just that it moves, you don't even need to take the photo), then return to pause menu, and unpause and play the game. Framerate is back to where it was when the session started!

 

Full HUD and yes I did restart the race once or twice.

I used to sometimes fix it by going into replay mode but couldn't have the same luck this time. I'll have to give the drone cam trick a shot next time I encounter this.

 

Version: 1.6.8.5
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Most cars
Applicable Settings: MSAA or TAA enabled
Report: Unfortunately with TAA enabled this issue seems to be even more pronounced/noticeable than with MSAA. It is genuinely even more distracting now given that TAA perfectly takes care of all the aliasing in the frame compare to MSSA but you still have those lines constantly crawling more than before (and also thicker than with MSAA).

Some cars do not have this issue which means that surely something can be done on the assets side of things? For example the Mercedes AMG GT4 or Camaro GT4. R seem to be immune from this issue. On the other hand driving the Viper GTS-R in cockpit view with TAA is genuinely hideous
Screenshots don't do it justice. It's 10x worst in movement.


IMO the issue stems from what appears to be a lack (or not a proper implementation) of Alpha-to-Coverage support in the engine to properly achieve order indépendant transparency. If it does support alpha to coverage then something is wrong with the alpha clipping threshold.

 

Version: 1.6.8.5

Car Used: GT1 2005: Aston martin, corvette, dodge viper and maserati, GTR 2004: BMW GTR
Description: Bonnet / Hood Cam in those cars have sound is unbalanced more on the left side when using a headset
Report: apparently some of the new cars added in the last update had a unbalanced sound in the bonnet / hood cameras when in a headset below i recorded all cars and passed in their cameras to show the sound goin from the left side to the middle in other cameras and back to being on the left when in the bonnet cam
i tested the new cars the GT2´s seem to also have very small unbalanced sound but i can´t confirm that i could just misheard after hearing 5 cars in sequence with only left side sound so i left them out from the report

Report: Hole in the map

 

Got the fps bug again this patch at the end of a 45 minute race. I didn't restart the session before this time. Luckily it was right at the end before crossing the line so maybe it's related to race distance?

Going into drone cam didn't fix it either but it was at the final corner so I just finished the race.
