Grouped Vehicles Travelling on Roads Sometimes Turn 180 Degrees and then Back Again
Reviewed, WishlistPublic

Description

As above, grouped vehicles travelling on roads will sometimes stop, turn 180 degrees and then turn back again and carry on as normal. It's very strange behaviour, and it does not always happen. Probably, about 1 time in 5.

Thanks for the report!

Have you observed this behavior on a straight road or was there a crossroad on the spot where the AI decided to turn (and turn back)?

Could you eventually pinpoint a location on Altis or Stratis where you have observed this issue?

Thank you!

Hi - this seems to occur on Altis, on the main highway between Chalkeia and Panageia - around 202098. It sometimes occurs before the dirt road turn-offs, and sometimes after on the straight road. I'll get a repro mission for you soon, but it's a bit of a monster, so I'll have to do a Dropbox link. The odd thing is, it's not particularly consistent!

Oukej - it seems it DOES occur at the points in the road where there are connecting roads. It seems to randomly effect armoured vehicles the worst, or units travelling in the middle of a convoy group.

If you subscribe to the repro mission, save before the convoy ambush and you should be able to observe the occasional mishap, by loading and replaying, where the Mora tank goes nuts on the road. Same problem occurred with other armoured vehicles, as well as regular wheeled vehicles. Hope this proves helpful. Let me know if I can provide any other material, cheers,

Problem persists, even when there is no intersection too.

Still having problems, namely on grid 202097. Vehicles travelling southbound in convoy will sometimes stop, turn 180, then go back again.
