When you have an engine where the torque or power graph has 2 local maximum points, there's a bug with the maximum power display (the white circle on the graph). When it reaches the first maximum it stays there but the torque/power and RPM rating continue and then show lower torque/power than the first maximum. Then, when the graph goes back up and exceeds the first maximum, the circle jumps to that and displays the correct values again. When it stops at the first maximum the torque/power and rpm numbers should stay at that point too. Well, it's a bit hard to explain.

I made a test engine to demonstrate it. Load the engine and run it while closely watching the white circle and the torque/power@RPM stuff it displays when the power and torque decrease again after reaching a first local maximum.

Another bug I've encountered is that it sometimes shows the same engine twice in the engine manager.

Finally found my first bug?
If I successfully complete the Hatchback GTi scenario and go back to the scenarios menu, there's no shiny bronze circle-with-a-keyway on the thumbnail for that scenario and if I load it again it doesn't remember the winning engine and I have to start over.

I have sent you a PM, thanks for the report!

In some scenarios the parts are pre-selected and you can't change them. The problem here is when you move the technology slider to 1940 and then back to where it was, it changes to some cheaper parts but it doesn't change back up when you move it back to the tech year it was before. The only way you can get the good parts back is by restarting the scenario. Some people might not notice this though when they accidentally touch the tech year slider and then become frustrated because the scenario is impossible to pass. The slider for the tech year should be restricted and not be able to go lower than the minimum tech year given in the restrictions if there are pre-selected and locked components somewhere.

pyrlix graphical error on performance graph and timmmccoy mouse cursor bugs have both been reported to pivotal.

*EDIT* Crystal92 bug added to pivotal as well. Nice find btw!

timmmccoy if possible could you post a screenshot futher detailing the issue? Could you also say what you do before/while automation loads? e.g. open other programs, click on desktop etc.
Many thanks

Hi

Have a problem with the scenario from Medium - Insane.

Cant change any settings or numbers. The only thing i can is push the buttons on the right.
On the scenarios before this there is no problems.

Sombie's problem has been resolved, thanks for clearing this up by a video recording

Maximum torque rating information is missing for the conrods selection.

Horsepower curves occasionally extend past the BOTTOM of the graph, indicating negative power.

Bug Build 79.JPG (35.44 KiB) Viewed 4249 times

I'm trying to play build 79 and after I put in my username and password and press "Play Game" I get the first error. After I press that again I get the second and third error. I can hear the music in the background, but after I retry it closes.

Wow thats quite a pile of errors you got there. Could you please send a dxdiag report (Windows Key + R, type in dxdiag, press ok, click Save All Information), and also send KeeEngineLog.txt and log.txt from My Documents\Automation to caswal@camshaftsoftware.com

Thanks

You can have a lower VVL profile than cam profile by setting the VVL profile to a low value, disabling VVL, setting cam profile to a higher value and enabling VVL again.

When you start a test run and click on one of the components tabs on the right, the test will stop but it will still say "skip" under the start button and when you go back to testing tab it will only display half the statistics as if the test was running.

Just one tiny little thing the button are not where they are, if i want to click a button i have to click above them, its ~1cm out of range is it normal?

I had these same errors just now; Windows seemed to forget to run the demo as an Administrator! Right-clicking on the icon and selecting "Run as Administrator" solved it for me

Hello all.

Automation no longer records the sandbox engines and missions that I succeeded.
When I click the button "save" nothing happens, and the engine in question does not appear in my personal list of engines or in the archives ...
I precise no warning message or bug appears.

Everything functioned very well a few days ago ..
What should I do?
