AI Pathing no longer working past a certain distance since new update

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

Since the new update came out today I have had issues with any AI NPCs I spawn - past a certain distance to the player they fail to spawn, and if they have spawned already, if you go around 10,000 units away they seem to fall through the ground and despawn (according to my location logs)

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

AI

Steps to Reproduce

Spawn a custom AI NPC 10,000 units+ away from the player, or spawn one close then run away 10,000+ units

Expected Result

Prior to this update the AI NPC would path to the player, or at the very least not fall through the map (past a certain distance it wouldn’t path anyway)

Observed Result

AI NPC now falls through the map and despawns

Platform(s)

PC

Also happens to me. Going too far from NPC causes them to fall through the floor and die. And NPCs doing their job is the core of our gameplay loop… UP

Custom NPCs disappear after the player is eliminated

We’re checking into this.
