Description

Info:
In v1.05 AI units refuse to follow group leader(player) while in combat mode.
This happens also with NO enemies around.

Repro:
http://www.2shared.com/file/10261551/ebdfb71d/AI_follow_bugutes.html

- Load mission
- hit F2 / 7 / 2 to make your buddy enter COMBAT mode
- Move around a few undred meters and see buddy not following you
- hit F2 / 1 / 1 and see buddy ignoring fall into formation order

Additional info
I tried interim 1.05 beta builds 61974, 61450, 61062, 60819, 60588 and saw the very same problem.
The problem did not exist in v. 1.04, which worked fine.
So it's a 1.05 beta / 1.05 exclusive problem.

alef: edit, I've changed the broken repro link with the correct one on BIF.

Possibly set priority to HIGH?

Yeah, I'm seeing this too in 1.05

For sake of completeness:

  • this issue exists for both COMBAT and STEALTH behaviour.

Good report. Ty.

Prio has no real practical meaning.
Only Dwarden sets it himself at times as reminder/indicator.

I have tried the repro, but my buddy followed me everywhere. The only problem I have seen he was somewhat reluctant to enter the airstrip surface, but after a short pause he went even there. Can you post more specific instruction? What direction should I run?

I think it was probably the same cause like I had with the unit(s) in a vehicle with high rank, which is fixed now.
