AI Pathing bug in second campaign mission 'Situation Normal'
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When on track to get to the rendezvous after losing all squad members except the rifleman in an ambush he turns and goes in the opposite direction intended. This happens after the quotes, "Shit, helicopter" and then something along the lines of "Don't worry, the trees will help hide us from view" I have followed him on his path for over half an hour and he just wanders aimlessly.

Steps To Reproduce

Walk towards the rendezvous with only the rifleman remaining.

Additional Information

I inserted the red area to show where he generally wanders around and the arrow is the path he takes to get there. I just hope there is a solution to this problem as I was really enjoying the game...

Hey and thank you for the report!

I went thru the mission ensuring that autorifleman and CLS die in the ambush but the leader still went correctly to the Rendezvous point.

Did it happen once or does it happen repeatedly (after resuming the mission from a prev. save) for you?
Couldn't you have possibly some mods enabled? (esp. AI-related ones)

Yeah I have gone from previous save points and restarted the mission entirely but to no avail... And the only mod that was installed was the 'community based add-on' mod but I don't think that would have any effect, I removed it and I'll retry it now. My next step I guess is re-downloading the entire thing and start from the very beginning of the campaign?

Oh I forgot, one of the instances in which I retried the mission one of the others survived and he went correctly to the Rendezvous point however the leader still went off course but the mission wouldn't continue without him.

This is strange. However, restarting whole campaign should not be necessary.

There was a update yesterday, can you please confirm that the issue is still happening?

If it is, could you please attach the savegame from your profile in Documents\Arma 3\Saved?

Just in case you can also try rechecking the integrity of local data, but it would be pretty weird if corrupted data had such consequences.

Yeah I'll check as soon as possible, I was out of town for a few days but I'll check if it still persists later.

Actually I just tried to continue my save and it told me the save could not be loaded due to an incompatible version. So I had to restart the mission and I'll post again on my results.

It does work now, it seems the patch fixed it. Thanks for all your help!
