Automobilista 2 - Discussion Thread

Quick question, anyone else can't hear the opponents car very well?

They're really quiet compared to the rest of the audio, no matter what view I use when they're right next to me, behind or right in front doesn't matter.

I tested turning off all other sfx & just leaving ai cars at 100 & it's so quiet, PC2 weren't like this I had to lower the ai fx.

I even stopped on track & waited for them to lap me & as they all flew past it was nothing compared to ams1

All audio is correct via laptop settings, no issues with any other racing games, only pushing stereo via hdmi to tv.

Fresh install, validated files on steam, even deleted config file & let it create a new 1 just incase but still no luck, it's like racing a bunch of EVs.

Are you indicating always been that way or just after recent updates. Have not really played much in maybe close to two months. I did turn down most of other audio settings except for AI to see how audible they are. I just did a few laps and could can hear the other cars. They are not super loud or anything but noticable. I do not remember at the moment how this would compare to say PC2.

Slowly getting back into things. If seems like nothing feels quite the same as a few months ago when was playing more frequently. I think will just take time for me to get used to things again.

Fresh full install, I've only just bought the game so it's the latest version with all dlc.

I did read a few posts about the possibility of the game thinking your running a 5.1 when you're not & I've checked all my audio settings, everything is set to stereo (no surround settings or audio enhancements are on) it doesn't matter if I play it through laptop speakers or through hdmi to the tv.

At the moment I've got opponents sound fx at 100 all other settings around 50-75 & they're so quiet.

I play with the hud off so I rely on sound where the ai cars are (obviously I got mirrors but still)

Both ams1 & project cars 2 had really loud ai which you had to turn down otherwise it drowned out your own engine volume.

I've tried looking for audio settings in a config file but found nothing, I'm currently downloading the demo & I'm going to test to see if there's been a change In audio from when that was released compared to the latest version of the full game.

So other then the sound of AI cars what do you think of AMS2 so far.

I think it's brilliant, I knew I was going going to enjoy it as I enjoyed PC2 & it's just a more refined product & I was always going to buy it as soon as I got a new laptop no question.

As people have said it's what PC2 could've been if they didn't abandon it, because of the work Reiza have put into it you don't have to be as tentative as you used to be with PC2.

My laptop doesn't break a sweat on max settings @1440p either, cpu/gpu usage range from 50%-70% & temps pretty much the same (grid size & weather pending)

I noticed there's a mod team that's converting PC2 tracks over to AMS2 so I'll take a look at that because I do miss Bannochbrae 👍
