I tried searching, but whenever I put in 2.0 it automatically added quotations and always yielded no results. I'm sure there's a thread like this... somewhere, a link would be awesome but whatever.

I've encountered some problems since the 2.0 update, not ones that I've seen mentioned at all. (except one of them was mentioned once.) The point of this thread is to bring these into the light since they weren't fixed in the 2.01 update.

Since they changed the weather system, I've noticed a couple issues.

Any tracks made in the course maker since the update is not usable in split screen. Oh my gosh, but no one uses split screen. Maybe I'm the only one, but there's no reason to take away a feature of the game.

I've also not seen weather change on events that normally had weather change. For instance, I've run the Dream Car championship dozens of times in both A-spec and B-spec since the update and not once had any rain on Monza, Le Sarthe, or Nurburgring 24hr. But Monza and Nurburgring seem overcast, there's never any weather when there often used to be.

Also, when testing a track in the course maker, I've had the car stuck with the brakes on (and clutch pressed) and been unable to move. I have to restart the race when this happens. I've not had it happen in any other events (maybe because most of them have rolling starts) but it's happened several times in the course maker testing.

Also, the new loading system is great. (Loading the track and letting you work while it loads up the cars) But for some reason it will occasionally just stutter a bunch as the car line-up scrolls across the screen. After about 30+ seconds, the loading bar will have filled but the race will never load and I'll have to reset the console. Again, this never happened before the update. Also, it only seems to happen with endurance races. I have my B-spec guy running Nurburgring 4 hours and Tsukuba 9 hours to level up very often. I also have him run other stuff but it only locks up when loading the endurance races.

While I'm here, I might as well mention that the Mt. Aso track theme has essentially become useless since they added embankments. It used to be possible to get tracks up to three miles long, but now they never go past 2 miles. I'm sure there have been similar changes to the other themes, but this particular one is limited to very similar layouts when it used to be capable of some varied and intricate layouts beforehand.

Oh and how about those seasonals being usable when offline? That would be cool. :)

Anyway, the first four are unique to 2.0 and later. If someone knows of a thread for bugs like these (not feature requests, even though I shamelessly included one) Link it or merge this to it or something.

No word yet, on these from PD but they've acknowledged other things (such as re-buying DLC cars) so I don't want these to be neglected and never fixed.

in the suzuka 1000km race started dry but overcast. 15 min in started raining and kept raining for 1 1/2 hours but the track stayed dry.
 
I often had the track loading screen get stuck before 2.0. The bar would keep filling to the end(when normally it would fill the last bit all at once) but it would never move on to the next screen. I've not seen it since the 2.0 update.

Yes, I've just recently started a B-spec run of the 24 hours of Nurburgring and it was raining. It seems to work fine for Endurance races.
I'm just wondering if I'm the only one having it never rain during other events. It used to be raining every 3rd or 4th time at one or more of the tracks in the dream cars championship. But I've run that whole thing about 30 - 40 times since and not once seen the weather change at all


My car icons have gone on some cars :(

You mean the thumbnails? You now have an option to create thumbnails for all cars in one shot. If you have a lot of cars, it'll take a while. Just in case you didn't know.

But I've also heard of other people never being able to recover their thumbnails no matter how many times they refresh them. It hasn't happened to me, but I have a similar problem that's much less noticeable. I had a car with the suspension all messed up, highest ride height, max camber and toe. It looked bad and it was noticeable. I've since fixed the suspension and refreshed the thumbnails. I can't quite tell if the ones in the list have the suspension correct now, but I know the picture of the car in the top right when you're tuning the car is messed up and still has the old suspension settings. Actually, this has happened with two cars, both are having the same effect. I've even repainted one and it has the new paint, but the same look of the suspension in the side thumbnail. It looks fine while rotating when you view the car. Anyway, I've had this problem from before the 2.0 update (I think) and it's not really an issue.

For your problem, if using "create thumbnails" doesn't work, you might try digging into the options menu, going all the way down to utilities, then selecting "Salvage Files." This will attempt to fix any broken files or such when installing, maybe updates too. Also try "Network utilities" and clear the cache.

:) i think you missed my meaning. It was a dry start (track moisture meter on the top(pre race) or bottom left of screen at 0 with no rain. 15min into the race it started raining and continued to rain for 1½ hours. The track moisture level did not change at all, i was still using slick tyres with no loss of grip even though it had been raining for all that time.

Have to say:
Not a bug
Not a bug (unless is still says there should be changeable weather - though it would probably be easy to argue that changeable != changes)

Suggestion

I've only spotted a couple so farm both to do with PP (and I've not played much). The first is that PP for a car will chnge from one screen to another. i'm assuming this is linked to the way PP is calculated changing in 2.0. The second is that some cars can't enter competitions they should be able to, with the game claiming the PP is too high, even though it says it's lower.
