What level is the character?

Class Config Version?

Did you attempt to search for a solution?

Yes

Can you reproduce the issue?

Yes

After one of the most recent updates, my toons keep following the main assist with /afollow. It results in this warning that I can't get rid of and also /afollow definitely is not very good at what it tries to do

You should stop using Afollow.
Did you turn on the follow me button?

The warning is new. Competing automation has always been bad, unless you know exactly what you are doing and why.

Chase is on. I have never used afollow for any reason. I did issue this command which did not seem to change the behavior on the following toon:

/afollow off
/advpath save

I will try to update the navmesh in case something went weird, just wanted to report this

Navmesh is fine, noticed this in the console:

It's possible the navmesh updater doesnt have the zone you are in. What zone are you in?

While I was flippant and presumptuous in my post, the meat of it holds true.

We use afollow when we detect a nav mesh isn't loaded, if you are close enough that we think it will work.

The warning is new, and was mainly aimed at people using the follow me button and not knowing any better... however, it holds true even if we are falling back to it (which is not new). It isn't ideal for RGMercs.

I would verify that the mesh is loaded, if you have not... We can go from there.

Potentially a tangent if not, I but iirc you have mentioned emu in other posts...

If you are using RoF2 on emu, you will be missing meshes using that mesh updater. It's very live-centric. Many of us use the Lazarus mesh on ewiclip's GitHub, and when I notice that it is missing meshes, I have (with help) gotten them added.

I always meant to circle back around to trying to ensure all of the RoF2 meshes are available through RG. Maybe this is a good excuse to try to do that.

RoF2 uses some older zones that live no longer does.

That was in Burning Woods but it also occured in PoK so I don't think that was it. The good news is, that it is now working. Bad news, I have no idea why and did not change anything. But I'll take it
