B1414+ Bug Reporting Thread

In the latest Steam release version of Automation, 150312:

---------------------------
Lua Error:
---------------------------
tolua++ dbcall failed!: [string "--client\functional\CEngineManager.lua..."]:272: attempt to index field 'EngineInfo' (a nil value)

You can CTRL+C on this to report it.
---------------------------

This and similar errors any time you click on any topic heading in the Engine List to sort by it - Name, Year, Power, etc.

I found a bug in the steam version of Automation where the game will "lose focus" (?) and stop responding when the game window is minimized. The game window will turn black and will not respond and will eventually crash. I didn't see anyone post recently about this, so I apologize if someone just posted something about this.

Got this trying to name the engine family at the end of the car build on the test track screen.

nvm, it's a known bug!!!!

If you are in sandbox mode and go to the engine selector you can click on "Delete Engine" Button and get an Lua error if there is no Engine in the list.

This happened while the engine was running/testing, and tried to change the model thingy up top of the screen. (The engine family and stuff ) Hope it helps

This is the current steam version

Cannot progress past front brakes. Cannot select pad type or size.



All items (including front drums) are selected on large 40s body in 1945.

[BlastersPewPew]

I had that one as well but was able to get around it only because I had more than just drums to choose from, there is something wrong with the "none" option of the drums.

I somehow managed to trip the bug with 7 and 8 speed gearboxes on the latest build still.

Playing around with the Top Speed and Spacing settings and switching around between all the different speeds just somehow made it happen.

Hello guys,
i'd like to report a minor issue which bugs me a little.

After the Steam update there I experience a loss font sharpness.
I am running automation in windowed mode 1280x720, on a 1366x768 screen resolution as I did before.

Hey guys

When I created the long sports car, when I went to click on the tab, "New Engine" I get this
---------------------------
Lua Error:
---------------------------
Step() failed!: [string "--client\functional\EngineCombustion_Aspirati..."]:300: attempt to index field 'EngineInfo' (a nil value)

You can CTRL+C on this to report it.

Has happened with more than just the sports car now that i think about it. Even if i get past this and go into the engine designer it only allows me to set the displacement to a maximum of 1.3 liters.

In the "4x4 Drives You" I4 Scenario (possibly others too?), the RPM Limit check isn't correct. I can do anything between 3000 and 4000 RPM, but only 3000 RPM is supposed to be allowed.

While plopping in an engine (3.0l Turbo I6) into a car which it fits and by itself loads fine, the game froze on me. When I now want to get back to the car in Sandbox selection, the engine is correctly displayed with the Trim, but the variant is "nil". And when I try to load it, I get this error:
---------------------------
Lua Error:
---------------------------
tolua++ dbcall failed!: [string "--client\functional\PlatformDesignerWindowDel..."]:2080: attempt to index field 'BlockConfig' (a nil value)

You can CTRL+C on this to report it.
---------------------------
OK

EDIT:

same is happening to another car:

---------------------------
Lua Error:
---------------------------
tolua++ dbcall failed!: [string "--client\functional\EngineCombustion_Aspirati..."]:350: attempt to index field 'ExhaustPoints' (a nil value)

You can CTRL+C on this to report it.

Hello guys,

I know it will sound like bitching, but I essentially have only one wish. Please bring back the save button. I am begging you. This used o be one of my favorite ways of relaxing and clearing my mind. After the new Steam release it's only a cause of frustration. The new auto save function doesn't work. For the past 3 days I've been trying to build one car. One. After exiting, the game just randomly decides that it wants to forget all my progress in the Trim tab. Every time I have to start over from the gearbox onwards. Even if it did work, I'm not sure it's such a great idea. Plenty of times when I was building a car for a competition I used to exit without saving because I was not pleased with the result of my modifications and I didn't want to spend the time required to manually revert the changes. Sadly I decided to stop playing the game until the next important update. It's just too frustrating.
