AMS 2 recently had update. I Updated boot files, game, and verified game files with JSGM mods removed for Indycar mod. Mod and cars are all there. When I launce game it crashes. I had everything working before update. Any suggestions ?

be sure to have AMS2 bootfile, because easy to make mistake and download PC2 bootfiles ( exaclty identical of AMS2 )

I'm having some form of installation issue. I have made sure that I downloaded the correct bootfiles (AMS2) for the latest version (1.4.7.2), made the modifications to vehiclelist.lst and driveline.rg, and enabled them in JSGME in the correct order (INDYCAR_2023 before bootfiles), and the cars show in the car selection list, but when loading into a session, the game crashes.

Have you recheck all modified files if you forget a letter or symbol over the copy paste ?

Still crashes after a fresh install of the game (renamed Documents/Automobilista 2 folder as well) and fresh install of the mod, then bootfiles.

EDIT: I also tried to install one of the mods from the bootfiles download page just now and while it shows up in the car list, it also crashes the game in the same way while loading into the session. Here are the steps I am following for both mods:

1. Download mod and latest bootfiles
2. Extract mod car folder and bootfiles folder out of their downloads to the /MODS folder
3. Activate mod car via JSGME (I'm using OVGME but that shouldn't be the issue)
4. Edit vehiclelist.lst and driveline.rg in the bootfiles folder (I've used both Notepad++ and VSCode to edit those files, no difference)
5. Activate bootfiles via JSGME (OVGME)
6. Run game, select car, load into session, observe crash.

Also, with unedited bootfiles activated, the game can still load stock cars.

Hello. I'm having the same issue as Steven Pirier.

I've been installing mods in AMS2 for quite some time. I'm certainly not an expert, but I can get my way around. I followed every instruction and the mod still crashes when loading the track.
I had no problems at all with the old version. Also, never had any kind of problem with cars and tracks from both Thunderflash and PC Modding Team.
Also, the previous version of this INDY mod still works fine.

I think the problem is in the mod itself and I might have a hint of why this is happening: more cars than AMS2 allows.

Here's a print of my mods enabled. Again, everything works fine with current bootfiles. I really think the problem is with this mod.

 

[Steven Poirier]

i want to know, for both of you, did you play with the previous version or its your first time on that mod.

Why i'm asking, because if you already played on previous version but just overwrite old mod with the new one, can cause a problem. Try to delete Indycar 2023 folder in mod folder and put the fresh new one.

I've test it, mod work fine on my side

 

[papaiurso666]

I think that one solution would be to edit the vehicleslist.lst file and delete some cars. Maybe you could take a look at the vehicle list from the previous version of this mod, copy and paste. Or maybe just delete the Indy 500-only drivers, such as Tony Kanaan.
Sadly, I don't have time to try this today. I'll let you guys know tomorrow.

Yes, I played all the previous versions of this mod since the first release.
No, I never overwrite older files with newer ones. I always delete everything and install it all over again.
Here are the steps I take every time a mod updates:

1. Disable _bootfiles and mod with JSGME.
2. Delete the old mod. Install the new one.
3. Check out both at the PC Modding Team website and Thunderflash Discord server to see if there's any update or any issues with the bootfiles.
4. Edit both the vehicleslist.lst and the driveline.rg files with the new lines. Here I take care to delete the lines from the previous version and paste the ones from the current version.
4. Install the new mod and bootfiles with JSGME.

I never had any CtD problems while using mods before. This is the first time.

Yes, I also followed the instructions contained within the AI_Grid_Numbers_README.txt:

"Road courses 27
Ovals 28
Indy 33"

I tried Imola and Interlagos with 27 AI, crashes. I tried Fontana with 28, crashes. I tried Indy with 30 or 31 (the max allowed by AMS2), crashes too.
Tried the same combination of tracks + AI numbers, but using different vehicles. I tried GT3s from AMS2 and GT3s from ThunderFlash mod. Everything worked fine.

I also tried the previous versions of this mod when they came out. Same install procedure. They crashed as well. This mod (and all car mods I've tried) has never worked for me.

Obviously I'm not overwriting the old version with the new version, that would be dumb.
