Open Beta [B150918+] Feedback

[Killrob]

I double checked my car and according to the slider infographic my car has sufficient cooling...

Ahh sorry, it was that you used modded fixtures, which all got removed on my end because I don't have the mods. Yes, when putting on a grille and having enough cooling the car does pretty well but still has zero running costs. We'll investigate. Thanks!

I still found these bugs that wasn't fixed for B150924

60s Patario bodies (2-Door and Wagon only) remains a full pink box.
(Wagon variant of the 60s Mid-Size Sedan has issues on morphing: if I morph the upper bonnet/hood, the rear passenger roof was affected as well.)
70s Mid-Size Wedge still had a pink defect.

Weird. I'm not seeing pink on those. It must vary depending on hardware.

Or it might be mod bodies? We now have them as vanilla bodies but people are still subscribed to the mods, the mods have the pink box disease.

Need to hear back from Ohm on that of course, but out of curiosity I just tried installing those mods and still no pink on mine. It's impossible to tell which version of the body it's using though. I didn't see a duplicate body.

BTW Killrob, have you seen http://www.automationgame.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=7308?

well, there's something wrong in fuel mileage calculations. When I created my 1971 supercar (planned to be real gas guzzler, somewhere around 4600 emission rank, 520 PS and carburetors) final tab said to me that the car uses only 5 litres of fuel per 100 km.

Made a car in 1965, convertible, looks a bit like a Aston Martin DB5(?). I could fit a 5.3l I6 (100x113.4) , but the V6 5.3l (100x113.4) was to long.
WTF?
Something seems a bit wonky with the size calculations for the V6 engine.

Using 150925 beta (and before), I have tried deleting the automation folder (and a clean install) get this error on startup in the cmd box : Creating Log File: /hoth/Storage/FolderRedirect/CrashMaster/My Documents/My Game
s/Automation/\GameLog.txt Failed to create log file. Please report this to ....

Then when I get into the game and try to create a new car I get errors like this " tolua++ dbcall failed!: [string " --client\start scripts\init.lua..."]:42: attempt to index local 'file' (a nil value)

As you can tell this computer has redirected documents to a network location. So I am wondering if that is what is causing the other issues in game?

Once I am in the game the 2nd error happens so much that It is not possible to play. (yes it is a work computer that I get to play during my lunch and have since the early days of this game)

Please check that you're using the right unit, it sounds like you're using the new km/L, where 5 km/L = 20 L/100km, which would fit your description.

I am loving this so far. Perfect way to get back into the game after an absence! Brother had a few crashes though, but I suspect that has more to do with Pyrlix's modpack than anything else.

One issue I have noticed is that occasionally, I'll try to clone a car and then delete it after cloning the wrong one, then I can't clone any more. Also, deletion doesn't work when you select the trim and go back to another one. Piddlinh errors, but annoying nonetheless.

After yet another frustrating trio of Steam failures, I am seriously considering switching to the Stand Alone version if Steam.exe doesn't get it's act together: I even tried verifying Automation's game cache and do you know what happened? It stopped responding right in the middle of the task. And then when I finally got the game to successfully boot, Steam froze on me yet again, causing the game to crash as well. Gaah! I'm sorry, and this isn't the fault of Automation itself, but this is just so damn frustrating.

Nor is it Steam's fault. Post your computer specs or something.

In the update 5, when you modify the year of a saved car, the years doesn't change 1 to 1, changes 2 to 2, and, if you press the button to advance or retry years, goes 20 to 20 years.
