Automobilista 2 V1.6.9.2 Now Live!

Latest Update Released - Significant Graphics, AI and Physics Improvements

Automobilista 2 has been updated to version V1.6.9.2, bringing a collection of further fixes and improvements that complement the latest major update. As of this update, the Racin' USA Bonus Pack, Nürburgring Touristenfahrten & Supercars Pt2 DLC content is restricted to owners of these DLCs or the packs/bundles that include them.

Key Features

TAA Graphics Enhancements

The update brings significant improvements to the Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) system:

• Better application to vehicles
• Reduced shadow flickering
• Improved fence resolution and stability
• Reduced ghosting on gratings
• Overall improved clarity with reduced visual artifacts

Enhanced Artificial Intelligence

Notable improvements to AI performance and overall racecraft on ovals, affecting not just the new Stock USAs but also all F-USAs and other touring cars with oval variants. Classes with dedicated short oval and speedway physics include: Opala Stock 1986, Omega Stock 1999, Stock Car 2019, Stock Car 2020-2022, and Super V8.

Fixed a critical issue with AI blue flag behavior in multiclass racing, where AI from slower classes would slow down too much to let faster classes through, paradoxically making them harder to navigate and turning them into easy prey for players in slower classes.

Physics and Tires

Minor tire tread adjustments for numerous classes including:

• P1 (both generations)
• Ligier P4
• Copa Classics
• Formula USA (all generations)
• GT3 and GT4
• Various historic vehicles

Important Notice for Users

Post-Update Performance Issue

Users who observed a performance drop since the V1.6.9 release should check their graphics settings. The update added the option to combine Supersampling AA with TAA, and this setting may not have been properly reset in existing user profiles.

Solution: TAA users who noticed a significant drop in performance (30%+) should verify that Supersampling is set to 'OFF' in the performance options screen.

Racin' USA Bonus Content

Users who acquired the Racin' USA DLCs through 3-Part items rather than the full expansion pack should retrieve a Steam key for the full Expansion Pack to retain the recently added Stock USA bonus content.
