Automobilista 2 Update News

A new release candidate build of Automobilista 2 is now available as a Steam beta branch for those interested in testing the new update before its official release in the coming days.

The new update is largely focused on bug fixing, maintaining older content & extending recent physics developments to a wider range of cars - GTE, GT3, GT4, GT1, Porsche Cup, Stock Car 2019, Super V8, DPi & P1 class now join the F-Ultimates & Stock Cars from 2020 onwards in the list of series to receive the latest extensive tire carcass & driveline developments. These are significant improvements, the nature of which we will expand further on in our upcoming May Development Update.

AMS2 users have the two following beta branches available:

ReleaseCandidate: This is the latest release candidate, currently V1.3.6.0 build 1993. To access this build, right-click Automobilista 2 on your Steam Library, go into Properties -> Beta tab, and select the “ReleaseCandidate” branch for the dropdown menu. This branch will be disabled after the official public release and return you to the default AMS2 branch, if you then want to opt in for the beta in a next update you just need to repeat this process.

PreviousBuild: This option allows users to revert back to the previous release version in case they encounter any issues with a new update, or want to compare changes if they are interested in doing so. To access it, right-click Automobilista 2 on your Steam Library, go into Properties -> Beta tab, and select “PreviousBuild” branch from the dropdown menu. To revert to the current build, just repeat the process and select “None” from the dropdown menu.

The June development update has been released after reading threw it I wanted to share a tidbit of it here:
Multiplayer is another area users have been eager to see improvements on - while there has not been a lot of progress in this area recently as focus has been on delivering the developments that were already in reach, we have nevertheless continued to catalogue reports from the community alongside our own findings from the regular multi tests we run in Beta, and during the rundown to V1.4 there will be more time dedicated to pursuing core Multiplayer improvements - whether that will lead to substantial breakthroughs or just minor improvements we can´t really say at this point, but at the very least there will be more regular progress in this are in the foreseeable future.

Steam Summer Sale


A reminder to all that the Steam Summer Sale has been on since last week and will run until July 7th - if you still have DLCs missing from your collection or haven´t taken the plunge on AMS2 itself, this is a great time to get it and enjoy all the latest improvements - the base game is 60% off, with DLCs up to 75% off.

Today added 2 more hot fix's, the current build should now be 2136 ..no version number changes still, 1.4.1

 

V1.4.1.1 CHANGELOG

• Fixed bug that could cause a disconnected player from triggering FCY in Multiplayer
  
• F-USA Gen1-3: Corrected various aero errors from weekend builds & slightly revised tire tread for oval variants, minor aero & engine revisions for road variants
  
• F-Retro Gen1: Adjusted tread & FFB
  
• F-Vintage Gen1: Increased final ratio for M1
  
• Removed extra AI compounds for F-Classic, F-Reiza & F-Ultimate
  
• AMDM: Adjusted coolant, oil and turbo failure thresholds on all open wheelers with AMDM and also Group C

There is currently an issue with Time Trial leaderboards so we have temporarily taken them down for maintenance - it should be back up fully reset soon (TTotW however remains operational).

 

Automobilista 2 has been updated to V1.4.1.2 - this is a complementary update to the latest release to correct some issues & add further improvements.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Time Trial boards are back on and fully reset - tomorrow the first TTotW combos will be announced!
  
• With F-USA oval physics now properly sorted after some fumbling over the weekend, users should take special not of the weight jacker - designed specifically for oval tracks, the weight jacker raises the ride height of the right rear increasing the load on the front left wheel by approximately 90lb from setting 0 through 5. Raising the jacker induces oversteer properties both aerodynamically and mechanically allowing for better cornering, especially noticeable the tighter the turn. Lowering the weight jacker optimizes the aero profile for better straight line speed. This can be adjusted both in-car as well as from the setup screen.
  
• For the time being classes other than the F-USA do not have AI set up for oval racing so they may not work very well there - in future updates we will add oval configuration to a few more classes that suit it and AI oval overrides to benefit all other classes.
  
• Option for helmet livery customization is not fully ready yet but will be added shortly.

V1.4.1.2 CHANGELOG
