Automobilista 2 v1.2.0.8 Now Live

Automobilista 2 V1.2.0.8 is now live - this is another complementary update to the v1.2 release from a couple of weeks ago, fixing some recent and long-standing bugs that could the game to crash under some circunstances.


If you still experience any instability while running AMS2 specially following an update, it´s worth running through the checklist below:

1- Verify the integrity of game files via Steam to ensure your installation doesn´t have any faulty or corrupted files

2- While you should not need to regularly delete your Documents\Automobilista 2 folder to start a fresh profile every month, some users have reported that starting fresh helped them solve a few issues, specially handling / controller related ones

3- If you experience freezes, CTDs or stutters, double check the applications you have running in the background via Task Manager, close the ones that aren´t essential to see if they might be interfering with the game functionality

4- If you experience crashes running with shadows on Ultra since V1.2 release, try switching it down to High - High is the equivalent of pre V1.2 Ultra, with the latest update making Ultra a bit more demanding on certain GPUs.

5- If you own a G923 and are experiencing issues with game freezing on startup, this topic features some good recommendations

V1.2.0.8 also adds an art revision including seasonal foliage to all variants of Imola, adding to the beautiful scenery around the iconic Italian track.
