Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Version: V1.6.8.6.3085.AVX
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Custom championships.
Report: I had an 8-race custom championship break after the first three races. It shows up in the ongoing championships screen and has all the drivers' points stored, but when you click "Start", nothing happens.

This may be related to either changing the saved custom championship templates or creating/deleting championships, considering it happened after I overwrote two old custom championship templates and created/deleted some championships. The overwritten template slots were numbers 4 and 3, the ongoing championship was from template slot 5.

Steps taken after the last time the 8-race championship worked:
- Overwrite old custom championship template #4 with new settings.
- Start and finish a new championship from the overwritten template.
- Overwrite old championship template #3.
- Delete the finished championship. (Not sure about the order of this and the previous step.)
- Create a new championship from the second overwritten template, load into the first practice session and exit.
- Switch back to the 8-race championship and realize it's not working.

The ongoing 8-race championship is in championship slot #1, the created and deleted championships all in slot #3 as far as I can remember. The file names in automobilista 2\singlechamps end in 1_1.sav, 1_2.sav and 1_3.sav.

The standings for the broken championship show the player out of order for some reason. I should be on the second row since I'm P2.


I have reported the same issue before here:

The broken 8-race championship uses custom AI, but the old report was about Racing Life, and I'm pretty sure I've never used custom AI files with RL.

 

Version: V1.6.8.6
Track & Layout Used: Jerez '88
Car Used: GT3 Gen2 BMW M4
Applicable Settings: See video intro linked below
Report: The rendering of vehicles in the rear view mirrors went awry a couple of times around the lap, It happens a number of times in the race, but I did a full cool down lap with a car close behind so you can see it for yourselves without watching the whole thing. The vehicle behind disappears and only the shadow remains, this is in both the TV and the physical mounted version.

All the best
Andy

Edit: The same thing can be seen here at the same circuit, but in the JCW Mini, video not related to me in any way.
It happens around 4min in. again, approaching the first corner, the rear view mirror loses the car behind, just leaving the shadow.

 

Version: V1.6.8.6.3085
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: McLaren F1 GTR
Applicable Settings: Cockpit view
Report: The windscreen banner is not visible in the cockpit view.

 

Track & Layout Used: any
Car Used: Corvette C8 Z06 (Supercars pack DLC)
Applicable Settings: n/a
Report: Bad handling
Steps to reproduce: I know this is a little subjective, but compared to other cars including the R version of the Z06, the street-legal one kind of handles like crap. It keeps wanting to go left or right at higher speeds instead of straight, as if the toe-in is misaligned. I think anyone who gives it a test drive will know what I'm talking about.

Track & Layout Used: n/a
Car Used: Mercedes 190E
Applicable Settings: n/a
Report: Wrong color on taillights?
Steps to reproduce: Go to chase cam and press the brake. The plastic housing on the brake lights is red, but the light coming off is more yellow than red.

 

Version: V1.6.8.6.3085
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: NA
Applicable Settings: VR mode menu
Report: When in VR I can't use the mouse pointer to control the games menu as clicking with the mouse doesn't do anything. Only the wheel joystick/buttons works - but the wheel doesn't allow the options menu to be selected.

Also. Track and car selection using the wheel is weird. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. No way to know if you're controlling the group type of car or the individual cars from the list.

 

Track & Layout Used: n/a
Car Used: BMW M3 (German Group)
Applicable Settings: n/a
Report: Exterior engine sound is misplaced or missing in the front.
Steps to reproduce: Start engine, switch to chase cam, then look back. Engine sound disappears.

 

Track & Layout Used: Sebring School layout
Car Used: 2005 GT2 (Likely happens with most cars though I've only tried GT2s so far)
Applicable settings: Manual Rolling start.
Report: AI alongside/around player will collide with lefthand wall (opposite the pits) on start straight when going green from a rolling start causing them to slow and sometimes create a pile up.
Steps to reproduce: Do a manual rolling start with a full grid (haven't tried auto-rolling start). Seems to happen more consistently if player is on right-hand side of the grid.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any Circuit
Car Used: Any Car
Applicable settings: Controller user
Report: Controller user here, unsure if this is the same with wheel users.
Hope this makes sense, when driving over the rumble kerbs, there is no vibration or feedback to the controller, but when you drive over the smooth kerbs, you get the vibration and the feedback?
Unsure what is wrong, but i would have thought you would also have vibration and feedback on the Rumble kerbs.
Thanks

 

Track and Setup
Vehicle Used: AMR Vantage GT3 Evo
Applicable Settings: Any weather conditions
Report: When the vehicle moves a certain distance away, its model turns into a strange white color. When getting closer, it reverts to the original livery. Suspected issue with simplified model at long distances?
Reproduction Steps: This bug occurs every time the vehicle moves away from the player. It returns to normal when approaching.

 

Track & Layout Used: Not applicable
Car Used: Formula Hitech Gen 1 and Gen 2 (could be others, but confirmed on these)
Applicable settings: Suspension Setup Display under Options
Report: For the F HiTech Gen 1 and 2 cars, when "Suspension Setup Display" is set to "Rates" the Spring Rate and Anti-Roll Bar Settings in Car Setup are set to Zero and can't be changed. When the Suspension Setup Display is set to "Units" the correct settings display in the cars and can be changed.

 

Version: 1.6.8.6
Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: N/A
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report: The game always prompts to download from the Workshop after exiting, but the progress stays at 0%. It has been stuck here for a long time and won't start, wasting a lot of time. As far as I know, I don't think this game even has a Workshop...

 

Version: 1.6.8.6
Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: Formula and Hyperclass
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report: Not sure if it's a bug, but something feels off. When I'm in the cockpit, the sound of opponent cars in lower-tier Formula and Hypercar races (and not limited to these) seems unusually quiet. Even after manually reducing the engine volume, it remains barely audible. I've already turned the opponent volume up to 100%, but it still doesn't help.

 

Version: 1.6.8.6.3085
Track & Layout Used: Daytona (any track)
Car Used: Group A BMW (any car)
Applicable Settings: 10 min quali, 3 lap race.
Report: All input is gone, when I go from lobby to the car. No throttle, no wheel, no shifting. Also when I get AMS2 to focus I can't AMS2 to do anything (just the keyboard works). I have to exit AMS2 and restart it to get it to work again. Has happened multiple times on multiple days
Edit 3rd december: Same issue with Multiclass race NordSchleife (Ranked) in Quali. After longer time in lobby (not knowing what to choose) I entered this race and suddenly had no controls. At calibrating the wheel is not recognized. Only way is to quit AMS2 and restart. I have this problem multiple times a day.

 

Continuing from my previous post.

I heard on a Discord server that the cause for breaking championships may be the maximum opponents setting. I tested this.

I had a broken LMP2 championship. When I started testing, I noticed that the LMP2 championship had now been reduced to 6 drivers, which implied the same maximum opponents as for a Kart Cross championship I made yesterday.

I started a new championship without editing anything, and set the Maximum Opponents to 47. I exited that championship and checked the LMP2 championship again. It had been returned to its original driver count, and this time pressing the Start button worked.

It seems that when starting a new championship, the Maximum Opponents setting is applied to all ongoing championships, which breaks any championships where that number used to be higher than the new maximum.

To be clear, this is Maximum Opponents on the new championship page, not Opponent Number in the championship editor.

I'm not sure if this counts as a bug, but the tire wear at the realistic multiplier in the game is way too low. Especially for GT3 cars with ABS, after running for over an hour, the tires are barely worn. Even after multiple pit stops, there’s hardly any need to change tires. The only reason for a tire change is due to the mandatory pit stop settings in the race... Compared to the AI drivers, who change tires every time they pit, this feels highly unrealistic. I hope you can look into balancing the tire wear so that this factor can actually influence endurance race strategies.

 

Version: V1.6.8.6
Track & Layout Used: SPA 1997
Car Used: FV10 G1
Applicable Settings: Engine braking to 10
Report: Engine blows on the pits, it seems like anything below 7 or 8 makes revving on the pit dangerous for the engine
