Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

Version: V 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: Oulton Park
Car Used: BMW M4 GT4
Applicable Settings: track day (no AI)
Report: deep burbling sound like the engine of the Corvette C5 when you lift off throttle
Steps to reproduce: drive with the BMW M4 GT4 - get some speed and let it roll (no throttle input)

Here's a short video:

In the video you can't hear it as prominent as it is live due to youtube compression and stereo sound. The sound in question comes out off the rear speakers mainly.

I don't know if it's a bug or a feature. But the sound wasn't like this a couple of builds ago when I drove the BMW for the last time.

 

Version: V 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: Nordschleife 2025
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Time Trial
Ghosts for the track are broken. Only very few times in the leaderboard can be loaded as Ghosts. Even if you set a new record for yourself you can't load this time from leaderboard as a Ghost. It just does nothing when you click on the entry to add as a ghost (no matter if Ghost 1, 2 or 3)

 

Version: V 1.6.9.1
Track and layout used: Jacarepaguna oval 2005
Car used: Formula USA gen 1 and Gen 2
Applicable settings mechanical failures on. Random set from off or any value
Report:Having high mechanical failures even on min level no random a few cars each lap after the 2nd lap on the Jacarepaguna oval 2005 Ai level 85
Tested same cars at montreal they where fine also trsted at Gateway wwt oval and again all normal.
It might be the default set ups as with random off the cars still smoke up after 2+laps by 5 or 6 down to single figure cars running
Steps to reproduce: set up a race at the track with these cars run for 2+ laps with mechanical failures on if no full course yellow should see a lot of smoke

Update on this appears to be all ovals and applies to the formula usa gen 3 as well at Gateway it takes about 6 laps with mechanical failure son random even off and they start blwoing engines pouring smoke. The Gen 3 might take alittle longer was lap 3 at Jacarepaguna before it started.

Did a race with the Formula USA 2023 and gateway after 11 laps seeme dok then we got full course yellow. think the default set ups are causing the AI to cook their engines maybe opening the cooling on them or a lower boost pressure

 

Version: V 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Fuel Use
Report: "AMS2 is now updated to v1.6.9.1; ..Re-enabled player auto-fuelling for race sessions based on AI fuel calculations (auto-refuelling remains disabled for practice / qualifying so fuel load is always as defined in default or user setup)".. - this still doesn't work here.
Did already delete AMS2 folder inside Documents although haven't had any custom setups saved and that changed nothing.
Steps to reproduce: see above

 

Version : V 1.6.9.1
Circuit et tracé utilisés : Tous
Voiture utilisée : Corvette C8 GT3 Evo
Rapport : Problème de skins IA Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo

 

Version : V 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: Gateway Oval, Jacarepagua 2005 Oval, any other short oval
Car Used: F-USA Gens 1 and 3 Short Oval Variants
Applicable Settings: Any (race against AI in the case of Gen1)
Report: On the default setup, the 6th gear is slightly shorter than 5th, so it is basically useless. And, at least in the case of the Gen1, the AI's top speed is much slower than the player's even on the default setup somehow. Might be the case for Gen3 as well but I have only drove them in Gateway, where they don't reach top speed.
Steps to reproduce: Check the default setup for these cars (maybe Gen2 as well, I didn't check it) and compare the player's top speed against AI on short ovals, Jacarepagua is probably the best option

 

Version : V 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: any
Car Used: Dodge Viper ACR
Applicable Settings: n/a
Report: Engine sounds are very quiet, but starter sound is very loud. All SuperCars part 2 should have their sound volumes revisited, but the Viper is the worst.
Steps to reproduce: Start engine from the external camera, then listen to the idle sound. It's not even audible but starter is very loud. Inside the car, even when driving, the engine is very quiet.

 

Version : V 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: F-USA 23
Report:F-USA 23 needs a more intuitive push-to-pass mode; besides requiring the mapped button to be hold down, the charge indicator has a very long delay.

 

Version : V 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: All Tracks
Car Used: Formula HiTech Gen 1-2
Report: Excessive grip and traction of AI.
I have noticed that in these cars, the AI performs exceptionally well at the start and when exiting corners, as if it had additional grip compared to a player. I think the performance is fine during the race, but those details make you feel that there can be no battle for position against the AI.

 

Version : V 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: All Tracks
Car Used: F-Vintage G1
Applicable Settings: Any session that uses back of garage as entry onto track.
Report: Wanted to report the same issue with Formula Vintage G1. Some of the cars can't make the turn out of the garages. If they do make the turn out of the garage, they are unable to enter the track due to the tight entry point onto the pit straight. During my practice session, none of the AI were able to enter the track. Screenshots attached.

 

Version : V 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: Formula Reiza, Hybrid, etc
Applicable Settings: N/A.
Report:
In the current release build, championship names still refer to the old, pre-update, class names. So there's a Formula Reiza championship for the V8 Gen 3 car, a Formula Hybrid Gen 2 championship for what is now the Formula Hybred Gen 3 car, and so on.

(also in general I'd love to see some more classes get a default championship, though I suppose most of the effort rn is going into that career mode).

Track & Layout Used: Guapore (seems to happen in any track)
Car Used: Opala 79
Applicable Settings: All of 'em
Report: Tachometer has graphical issues, seems weirdly low res and suffering from texture compression issues. Like it is being rendered at "low" settings whilst the rest of the car is rendered at "ultra".
Steps to reproduce: Drive the oldest stock car in any condition.

 

Version: 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: ANY
Car Used: Stock USA Gen 1
Applicable Settings: Random Failures - "sync to race" and/or "10x"
Report: Stock USA Gen 1 AI drivers do not have any mechanical random failures that would lead to retirements no matter what settings you use. I tried "Sync to race" and also the extreme "10x" and nobody retired in any race i tested. I did not use custom AI in my tests, i made sure to use all default stuff.

Track & Layout Used: N/A

Version: 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Report: After using replay to go back in a certain time and go into photo mode while focusing on a non-player car, once gameplay is resumed, I am stuck on the POV of the other car while still maintaining control of my own. I have not found a way to reverse it.

 

Whilst in replay mode and before exiting return to the camera view you use of your own car. This used to work for me. I rarely use replay mode now because of the resetting effect it has in livetrack.

 

Version: 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: Watkins Glen
Car Used: Stock USA Gen 1
Applicable Settings: Setup - default (championship mode)
Report: Stock USA Gen 1 - for some reason in Watkins Glen assymetrical (oval) setup loads. When in single race mode, in practice I see a different \ symmetrical setup. I tried to save that setup, but in championship mode race I could not load it.There was nothing "loadable". AMS 2 setup management has always been a mystery to me...

 

Version: 1.6.9.1
Track & Layout Used: Daytona Oval
Car Used: Stock USA Gen 1
Applicable Settings: Single player race
Reports from Steam:

Report 1:
There are a lot of glitches that take place with the GEN 1 Nascars. If you are up near the walls in the corners at Daytona it will randomly grab your car and hold it hostage for the other cars to run into it. Also sometimes the car will spawn sunk into the track. Yikes.

Report 2:
Had a couple MASSIVE crashes happen due to this. It doesn't happen often, but the wall and inside track at the end of turn 2 are super lethal for them. I had a hilarious but awesome ai wreck happen due to that

 

I think I can nail this down a bit further. The issue seems to be the deactivated auto save for your setup. I can't test it to 100% certainty but it seems like if you save your setup for the timetrial manually before doing your lap the ghost will be saved as it should be. If you just run the lap without having saving the setup manually there will be no ghost recorded for the lap when it lands on the leaderboard
