Track & Layout Used: All
Car Used: All
Report: The FFB with my Accuforce is very odd since the update. Normally the wheel is pretty tight and stiff when a car is not moving or the first few meters out of the pit, which is vanishing by speed. Since the update this resistance is permanent and kills all FFB-life. Doesn´t help to start without Sim Commander, but this problem disappears with Foundation FFB (it´s an alternative FFB based on the telemetry data), so it´s a pure ingame-bug. But this mode is boring in GSC, so i would like to enjoy the ingame FFB again.

Perhaps I´m not making it clear enough, because once again the thread has devolved into a convoluted web of parallel discussions, with only the odd proper bug report here and there.

Again: this is not the topic to discuss issues (actual or presumed), to ask for help nor to vent frustration about these issues - you are welcome to do all that in the release thread, or to ask for help in the troubleshooting thread where these discussions and clarifications belong - this topic is for users objectively report on the issues they have found while running the game, including all the information relevant to reproduce the issue to help us do something about it. You may elect to use the format from the opening post or not, but that´s the only type of post that should exist in this thread.

Just so you guys understand why that is: At various points during development of a new version we´ll tackle these threads hunting for bug reports. We have had several of these by now but every time we have to navigate through 10 posts of chatter and complaints to get into a proper, constructive bug report we can use (or give a position on, if it happens to be a problem we can´t deal with), and it´s getting worse despite all the pleas for people to observe the topic rules.

I´m locking this topic for now until I have had the chance to clean it up some so we can resume again, and from that point onwards any post that is not a proper bug report will be moved to the proper place or deleted altogether. Sorry if this rubs anyone the wrong way but without a modicum of organization we can´t really use this topic.

This post is in no way intended to minimize criticism nor stop people from venting frustration when they run into problems - we are very aware that running into issues can be frustrating, and we understand that comes with the territory particularly after a new release. You should too - we are a very small team and bugs and screw-ups are bound to happen sometimes but we generally feel we have a good record of cleaning up after them. Please use this topic to help us do just that.

 

[Renato Simioni]

There we go, a lean, mean bug report thread we can use. Now please let´s keep discussions in the v1.50 release thread (including about potential issues so we can try to identify them), help requests in the troubleshooting thread, and actual bug reports here and we´ll get on with the bug squashing ASAP.

Sorry for that little rant gents and for those who had posts deleted, I really don´t like doing that but I hope you can see what my point is now.

Unless Reiza is not saying around here if this is true or not, I cant find this information anywhere either.
I´ve already asked this same question on this same forum, no response from Reiza, but others gave some answers and nobody know what this problem is about...nobody ever heard about it.

I´ve only heard about this problem at R2P, everywhere the original content is used with no problems at all, only the ocasional ones that happens from time to time, but nothing that prevents the use of original content.

I would like to know about this aswell.

No such issues we are aware of.

It´s also important pointing out that the Steam instability refers solely to running the Dedicated server tool (not about multiplayer itself which should be as stable as ever with both Steam / NonSteam versions).

TRACK: Spielberg Classic GP
CARS: Super v8
REPORT:

When running a multiplayer race, the safety car crashes before it leaves the pits. (Driver might be drinking on the job?).
We tried a few times with a league race using rolling start. Same result every time.

[Gabry_R]

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Formula Extreme
Applicable Settings: Any, I'm using a G27
Report: Sometimes after spinning, the rotation settings reset to a different setting than the correct one, making it necessary to go back to the monitor. After going to the monitor, the car goes back to normal.
Steps to reproduce: Take the Formula Extreme out, spin. The issue should occur after a couple of spins.

 

[EDD_Fire]

Track & Layout Used: It's happened at every track I've raced on, so It's not track dependent.
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: High graphics
Report: Insane amount of shadow glitching
GPU: Nvidia GTX 650Ti
OP: Windows 10
Steps to reproduce:
Go out on any track/car and do some laps, as the time goes on shadows will start flicking like crazy and glitching all over the place, massive dark shadows start appearing where they shouldn't, like midway down a straight which is very distracting. I'm pretty certain it is not an issue on my side as I never really have any problems with any other games and I keep everything up to date
Also getting the issue user "Rob Fitness" is getting, among many others which is very surprising considering its not really a new game and runs on a 10 year old engine, amazing game but the amount of bugs..jesus

 

[EDD_Fire]

Track & Layout Used:N/A
Car Used:N/A
Applicable Settings: Audio Tecnhica ATH-M50x Headphones. I have turned the music of in the menu.
Report: A very low buzz/whine sound whilst scrolling through the menus or options in the garage menu on track through my headphones,the sound will change whilst moving your mouse around and in different menu tabs, so annoying! what is this noise and how do I get rid of it?
Steps to reproduce: go through the menus and move your mouse around in the menus with the music off.

Also another sound related issue,some weird sound glitch when you hit the limiter on certain cars, like the 2014 v8 cars, what the hell is that? It sounds like some speakers are about to break, nothing like hitting a rev limiter.
Update: Okay, the sound is in fact coil whine (from my GPU im guessing) being picked up by my headphones because the FPS shoots up to 1000+ in the menus..there should be an automatic fps limiter in menus only.

That's me done reporting most of the big issues I encountered, thanks for taking your time to read them!

Dont know if this is a bug or not, but is about the Map Plugin.



So I ask...how to permanently disable it?
I press Ctrl+M to turn it off, is fine, but when I load the Sim another time it turns on automatically again.

Guys, this still giving me some headaches.
To get rid of the Map Plugin for once, I followed the instructions from Reiza, deleting the d3d9.dll file.
However, it seems this file have some other purposes, and is causing mismatches in some cases when I dont have it (GTR Brasil servers, for instance).
Also the ALT+M key to turn if off is conflicting with Motec Plugin keys, so Im kind of lost here.
Would be really nice if was like before, key pad 0 turn it off and thats it.

Needless to say that the solution on the PLR file, Automap=0... does not work.

I dont want the Map Plug in, and dont have a way to get rid of it without interfere with the game.

Any possible solution?

insert the Reiza Sweet FX and the map will be like the old one, then press 0 to turn it off. Shouldn't cause mismatches

I'm not sure this is a bug:
