    Hoping someone can help out with this. Recently upgraded to a 9nm Simagic Alpha EVO Sport. The steering is just, not there at all. Turning the sensitivity up or down, the steering is never 1:1 with my actual wheel. I set it up through the custom settings and all that as suggested by the manufacturer, but the steering itself seems to either end up delayed, or oversaturated at some point of turning. Not sure if it's a wheelbase setting I'm missing, or something that Reiza haven't experienced yet?

    I'm really weirded out since I've also experienced some sort of issue in [endurance-based sim] (oversaturated steering more than anything else), but in [latest open-wheel simcade] it works flawlessly.

    Not sure if this scenario is just a lack of vendor support on the side of Simagic or something else? I could only assume as such since Thrustmaster have a specific setting, but not others. Really hope someone can help though, I'd like to get rid of the buyer's remorse. :')

    Hi,

    Sorry to read that you're experiencing issues with your wheelbase and setup. Here's what I would do:
    Go to C:\Users\ShadowWolfe\Documents\Automobilista 2\savegame\xxxxx\Automobilista 2\profiles, backup, and delete default.controllersettings.v1.03.sav. Then boot up the game. This will reset all your controller profiles, etc. As well I would reset your driver settings from Simagic, for now.

    Now bind all your peripherals, calibrate your wheel and pedals. Within the driver settings, make sure your wheel rotation is set to AUTO (or 900 or 1080). Go in-game and take a test drive to see if everything's working now as it should.

    When everything is working, you can start pondering Simagic's recommended driver settings, etc.

    Marius

    All good! User error lol, turns out I just had to recalibrate! I did clear all the prior assignments in-game beforehand as well, so it's just me forgetting about the calibration part. I'd say a suggestion for a new wheel being detected/having the option changed to Custom should trigger a setup wizard of sorts. So, binding like the game wants, and then automatically moving into calibration! Just to make it a biiiit clearer, though in my defense, I should've done that from the start as well haha. Everything's all good now, thanks!

    Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 - Content Missing

    I recently logged back on and realized some of my paid DLC is missing. Specifically the Stock USA cars and tracks (I havn't checked for anything else). When I checked the DLC checklist it was no longer listed, instead it seems to now be bundled with Racing USA, which is strange because I remember paying for those cars some time ago also. What's goin on?

    Please help

    Attached is all the stuff I have purchased over the years:

    hello everyone , i have my set ups set to all tracks ...(don't ask me why :confused:) and i want it BY TRACKS (scuse caps it pisses me off)
    what have i done wrong ?
    it musst be on my side, no one on earth is dumb enough to not understand a set up cannot match all tracks wtf
    your set up on azure monaco can't work on Monza, believe it or not it won't be efficient, you can't be fast on monza with a Monaco grand prix set up for your car !
    it is a fact
    so where is my error ?
    it is a HUGE bug:trouble
    it should be so easy to fix it but you need to be aware of the bug, i'm running the very last version of AMS2

    Setups will never be again "by track" because it was causing a setup bug to happened very often.

    Hello,

    Do you have any livery mods or other mods installed? If yes, please remove those and try to reproduce the crash to see if it fixed the issue.

    If not, please add more information, screenshots/videos, etc.

    Thank you,
    Marius

    I get a lot of CTDs since the last update (1.6.9.8). I always reportet it via BugSplag, do others also have more crashes than usual?

    Any mods installed? If yes, either update or remove them.

    No mods at all. I will reinstall the game tonight and delete all files from Documents/Automobilista 2.
    I switched from VR to a 7680x1440 triple setup on Windows 11 (i7-14700K, RTX 4090, 64GB RAM). I am getting random mid-race crashes, sometimes it freezes completely (requiring Task Manager), sometimes it drops straight to desktop, and other times I get a BugSplat. On windows 10 and VR it ran without such problems. Can you recommend the best settings for stability?
    • HAGS: Should I disable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling in Windows 11?
    • Nvidia Surround: I disabled it because it caused lower FPS and massive micro-stutters. I now run Borderless Windowed with G-Sync set to "Windowed and Fullscreen". Can running triples without Surround cause stability issues?
    • RAM (XMP): My RAM runs at 6600 MHz via XMP. Since crashes happen randomly (even when the system is cold), could disabling XMP to run at stock 4800/5600 MHz help with AMS2's data streaming?
    • Launch Options: Are there any specific Steam launch options (like forcing a certain DirectX version) that you recommend for high-end Windows 11 setups to prevent hardware deadlocks?
    • triplescreensettings.xml: Since I am running triples without Nvidia Surround, could a corrupt or misconfigured triplescreensettings.xml in the Documents folder cause these types of crashes?

    Goodmorning,

    The easiest steps to do first are to verify your AMS2 cache and back up your AMS2 folder in My Documents, delete it, and boot the game as it starts everything fresh. That should do the job and should be the first things to try. Also if you ever had mods installed, make sure any leftovers are deleted as well.

    Regarding your questions:
    1. I have HAGS enabled on my computer as I use borderless mode; otherwise, I get extreme frame issues. Every PC is different. Try enabling and disabling it to see what works best for you.
    2. I cannot provide information about triple-screen setups as I do not have one.
    3. It could indeed be RAM. Play other games to see if your PC crashes while playing them. This will help you determine if it is solely an AMS2 issue or a hardware/OS issue.
    4. No specific launch options are needed, the ones I know are limiting cores and capping frames. Your CPU is strong enough to handle AMS2.
    5. It is possible to delete the triplescreensettings.sav file in your AMS2 folder in My Documents. Upon booting, the game will generate a fresh file.

    The first steps are to verify the cache and backup and delete your AMS2 folder in My Documents. Also, play other games to see if the PC crashes; then it is likely a hardware or OS issue

    Has anyone else's game been crashing a lot more often now? Anytime I load up a race, even without mods, the game crashes and I get BugSplat.

    Hi,

    Can you provide more information? Which car and track you are trying to load, for example.

    Thank you

    Scratch that example I made, I was selecting a test day, was browsing the cars, and I was just simply kicked out. I did reinstall some old mods that I know don't work with the new update but I never selected them or chose to use them.
