"I can´t run Automobilista" - Official troubleshooting topic

Thanks for response, pedals unplugged and got into the game.

 

Hi
I recently installed Automobilista and I haven't got force feedback in my Logitech G920. 2 years ago I played and I remember that the fbb was awesome but actually I haven't got fbb
Someone Can help me?

 

Hi, Marcos. Can you follow this conversation and see if it helps you?

 

Hi I have this problem.
Before the "donington" update (at 1.5.16 iirc) everything was fine, now that i have the newest/last update i cannot run it "windowed" anymore, because if "windowed", AMS crashes if from a race/time/practice i press "Exit to monitor" (while instant replay still works).
Well, I can run it fine if "not windowed" but the antialias does not work and gfx is terrible if "not windowed" (i have a 40" monitor so i NEED antialias working ...)

I have a vanilla install and nvidia gtx 1050.
Fanatec csw 2.5 pedals v3
On windows 10

What can I do?

 

I forgot the "trace" ... here it is in attach

 

@marenghino, do you have Thrustmaster pedals? Your crash occurs at the same line as others with that hardware combination. Unfortunately there's no solution for it right now, although your information about it not crashing in full screen can be a nice clue to solve it.

For now I think running in full screen is the best option. And for the AA, if you set it through Config Tool, won't it work?

 

As pedals I use fanatec v3, the wheel base is csw 2.5
Is in the config tool that i check or uncheck the "windowed" box ... is there another way/place to do it?

 

Yes, that's the Config Tool. It just writes in the config.ini file inside AMS root folder. You could edit this file on notepad, if you want to.

And in order to be able to set Anti Aliasing in Config Tool, you must disable the SweetFX option.

 

How to disable the sweetfx option?

 

In Config Tool as well:

 

Just built a new system around a 2080 ti and now game will not start. I can run the beta version no problem. I have verified files many times, reinstalled AMS twice, turned off Geforce experience, all other 3rd party software including AV and disconnected all USB devices as I have read about conflicts in other threads. Interesting is that six other games in steam work all good but AMS and RF2 will not run. Odd that AMS beta does work OK. I have tried copying exact directories from my previous PC ( still runs AMS perfectly). Tried deleting player PLR file, the AMS entries in the C:\documents folder but really stumped now.
What is the game looking for that I have missed?

 

What happens when you try to run it, Wayne?

Have you tried different settings in the Config Tool?

 

Yes tried many different settings in the config as well as Run as Administrator. The small automobilista logo appears then after about 15 seconds just goes to a full black screen with little circle spinning around. Just stays as a black window and the program not responding message eventually comes up.

 

Hm... Can you try to generate a trace file and post it here?

 

Because the Beta version would run I have been concentrating on finding the difference between the two. I deleted the Plugins folder and replaced it with the Plugins folder from my Beta Version and guess what the game now runs.
So a few things this means an uninstall and install through steam is not a full replacement of the file structure. Why a different video card reacts differently to a plugin is odd. I now have the issue to find the particular plugin causing the trouble. I will do the trace file so you can help e locate the trouble thanks Heitor

 

I installed some mods and I discovered that with mods it works either Windowed either FullScreen, but with original content/cars, it works only FullScreen ...
may this give some clues to solve my problem ?

 

Ok maybe I solved my problem, I tried to start AMS with "windows 7 compatibility" and now it works fine, no crashes anymore with mod and original, windowed or full screen.

But I have a last question: the "windows 7 compatibility" may give me any problem in multiplayer online races? Or not ?

 

It shouldn't give you any problem, @marenghino. Btw, thanks for letting us know!

 

Hi,
I can't run AMS with my Fanatec CSL Elite steering wheel. When I go on the track the game crashes. If the steering wheel is not connected, the game works fine. I did a fresh install and run the game in admin mode. I used the instructions from page 1. Without success. Can you help me, please?

 

Hello everyone,
I've tried the steps on the first page, however the game will not launch at all.
After freshly installing the game I was able to get to the menu and I tried to load a track. Once the track finished loading the game CTD. Since this crash the game doesn't even reach the intro sequence.
