Major Update & 4.17 release
What’s New:
Full Multi-threading support!
- Multi-threading code has been rewritten from scratch and is now robust and ready for use. It is now enabled by default.
- Significant performance boosts - both for your frame rates and for your bot’s reactivity.
- This means Infinite map size (via Unbound manager) + Large number of A.I is now finally a very viable option!
Major bugfixes to navigation solver
- Bots no longer get stuck while lying flush with a wall or obstacle (initial overlap usecase)
- This was an issue reproducible in the sample project and reported by a user. As always, issues reported via the sample project are easiest to reproduce and investigate.
- Improved nav request scheduling (redundant aborts eliminated and more)
Community Contributions
Thanks to Vladimir Ivanov for:
- Multiple manager support via actor based manager selection (very common request!)
- Path recalculation support for Flight Location key
- EQS tasks that expose the CanNavgate and RandomNavigableLocation functions and fix for FlyTo node usage with SimpleParallel node.
Thanks to Michael Brune for:
- 4.17 migration code to get me started quickly
- Blueprint Nativization friendly code changes (n.b. more changes may be needed in this space, either in the nativizer itself or in code)

Check out my new plugin!
A significant amount of effort was needed to get this update out, not just in building the features but in merging four different code bases together and testing some very time-consuming edge cases.
I request that if you found this plugin useful, please also check out my new DoN plugin - Mesh Painting & Gameplay solution for UE4, a very feature-rich plugin catering to many different usecases for both FX and gameplay.
Chances are you may find something you need for your project in there! 
See the new plugin’s Marketplace Link, Video Trailer and Forum thread for more.
