V1.6.8.5
Track & Layout Used: NA
Car Used: Porsche 996 GT3 RSR
Applicable Settings: NA
Report: I could be wrong but I don't think that the headlights are supposed to illuminate that much the front bumper body work like that. (at least is not the case in the real life pics/vids I've seen). Looks cool though..

 

V1.6.8.5
Track & Layout Used: Le Mans 2005
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: NA
Report: The opacity levels of the full Le Mans 2005 track map is such that it is impossible to see the layout .

 

Version: V1.6.8.5.3076
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report:
Hopefully not a bug and a quick fix - something odd happens with driving assists on multiplayer lobbies.

I have them set to "Authentic" in my settings. Some lobbies force authentic and some don't. In those servers which force authentic there seems to be no issue.

In those which don't TC, ABS and perhaps others seem to be available and switched on during qualifying. Because I don't remember which car should authentically have what I just go with it and learn the car and track combo.

However when it comes to the race the assists are switched off again, meaning I'm not used to the car and spin out. Is there a way to stop the game overriding my settings and enabling assists which I don't want and then takes them away for the actual race?

 

V1.6.8.5.3076.AVX
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Mclaren Honda MP4/4
Applicable Settings: Test Day & Single race with full grid
Report: After loading/starting any session the mp4/4 immediately starts behaving very erratically and becomes undrivable; some times it even starts spinning and ends up "flying". So far this is only happening with this particular car because I tested all other cars from F1 classics gen 2 and all the other McLarens from the other generations including Hi-Tech and v10. The cars are indeed modded with the wonderful skins from "overtake" and used to drive fine. The last time I drove the car was before the last 2 updates and it drove , but I'm not wich update made it like this.

 

V1.6.8.5
Track & Layout Used: Nordschleife 2020 (any?)
Car Used: Formula Ultimate Gen1 (any?)
Applicable Settings: Time Trial Mode
Report: 1/ Loading and saving setups seems completely broken since today's update, though this car isn't on the list of cars that need new setups? I have had problems getting any setup to 'stick' - I load one or create one, have a drive, check the setup and it's reverted to something completely different. If I save my changes over an existing setup they appear to be saved until I view the setup again, when they're lost.
I've even seen the settings change before my eyes on loading the setup, as it reverted the tweaks I'd just made for no apparent reason I could fathom. It might seem minor but it's making TT mode very difficult / annoying to play - and that's the only mode I use ...
2/ Only cosmetic so not worth a separate post, but ghost cars often now seem to either float above the track or sink into it, not by inches but by feet. As the track data hasn't changed something in the latest update seems to have broken the saved ghost data as it relates to the track surface?
And ps - the bug I posted months ago about not being able to load any setup except the first ghost car's when you have more than one ghost loaded in TT mode still hasn't been addressed. Maybe fix that at the same time as point one above?

Video showing all three issues:

 

Nope, tried that...ahhh cancel that, it seems you have to restart the game before changes take effect, it doesn't tell you that though? All good now.

V1.6.8.5 setup issues

I was able to find the reason for the game crashes when trying to load setups.
The problem: Previously all of the setups were assigned to a track layout. This was the way you would distinguish the setups for the different tracks. After V1.6.8.5 this is no longer the case. All of the setups will get dumped into "all tracks".



This is a problem for more than one reason. Not only is it impossible to distinguish a lot of the setups now (if the track layout wasn't saved into the setup name or setup description) but also this is causing a CTD if the user has more than 64 setups for a given car.
So that is the problem. If you have 64 or less setups for a single car, it will still work. If you have 65 or 66 setups, the "load setup page" will glitch out. And if you have 67 or more setups for a given car, the game will crash if you press "load setup".

So the current workaround is: only have 64 or less setup files for any car inside of your vehiclesetups_1_6 folder.

 

Track & Layout Used: Cadwell Park
Car Used: NA
Applicable Settings: Rolling Start
Report: Cars in the right lane of the grid will smash into the barrier on the inside of the final corner as they come around to take the start.

 

Version: V1.6.8.5.3076
Track & Layout Used: Le Mans 2005 and Spa 2005, but probably not track related
Car Used: LMP1 2005 and LMP2 2005
Applicable Settings: No AI custom files. Qualifying and race sessions.
Report: Audi LMP1 driven by AI is slower than the LMP2 Lolas, which makes no sense. They should likely be the fastest cars among these two classes. Attached files are one example but I had a few tests

 

Version: V1.6.8.5.3076
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: P1 GEN2
Applicable Settings: No AI custom files. Qualifying and race sessions.
Report: The P1G2 Sigma driven by AI is slower than any other car in class, which makes no sense, they should be fighting on top most of the time. This issue has been present since the car's launch and has not been fixed after numerous updates, which is a shame. This could be one of the most interesting and diverse car classes in the sim.

 

Version: V1.6.8.5 and later
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: No AI custom files. At least 12 visible AI opponents configured in the graphics & performance settings. Must be on a 512gb Steam Deck LCD with latest version of SteamOS installed.
Report: Simulation rate runs at half the normal speed upon exiting the pits. This in turn causes everything to take place in slow motion and leads to a both nauseating and awkward experience. Everything from physics to game audio and AI behaviors all occur at less than real time. I figured this out after noticing that my control inputs and audio were slower and more soupy than before updating to 1.6.8.5. Best analogy is that the game behaves like an retro device emulator running at half speed and making everything feel sloshy and soup-like.

 

Version: V1.6.8.5 and later
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Not applicable
Report: Not sure if this is the right place, but there is a crowd/spectator error at Road Atlanta.
I have not been able to drive yet, but I noticed on the track previews Reiza has crowds on drivers left from turn 3 thru 5 at the bottom of the esses. Nobody is allowed there in real life. As a credentialed photographer, I am only allowed to go just past turn 4. Also, there is no catch fence in that area at all on drivers left. I know, because I had a wheel bounce over the wall just to the left of me at Petit this year. My photo.

Version: V1.6.8.5
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: GTR
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report: Skipping the last minutes of the classification session made the GTR AI gain abut 7 seconds from its classification and later its race pace, classifying ahead of gt1 (2005). Track road Atlanta 2005, AI on 105, GTRs went from 1:22/23 to 1:16
