i have no clue if it's faf or not - but nonetheless, i think the pathfinding needs serious help. this shouldn't happen.

Just watched the replay

pathfinding did its job perfectly

you were standing on a hill

the map killed you.

ACUs have a turn radius, and they have it since ever. its not a bug its a feature.

No, it never happened to me.

Replicated the issue with a simple test, and try it in 3599, you will have your answer and I will have my exemple (I won't watch a 17 min thermo for that

I'm almost 100% certain that it's not related to FAF.
If we were able to alter the pathfinding, that would be a good news actually.

If you really think there is a problem, try reproduce it in sandbox, then try the same in 3599. But I would say that it's god punishing you for playing on that map.

ok, watch this replay. around 17:40 i tell my acu to move towards the spider that is attacking us. there is nothing between my acu and the spider. instead of walking towards the spider, he walks sideways, NOT toward the spider. this is what i'm talking about.

i'm not entirely sure it's something that's happened with faf, but i dont recall this happening in gpgnet. (i'm only mentioning this to help with the troubleshooting)

i'm pretty sure that the pathfinding has been changed since gpgnet days - any chance we can revert back to the original pathfinding? having your acu walk forwards when you tell him to go backwards is no fun. the "walk and turn" is not very helpful
