I’am making a game with AI that need the navmesh to move around. The navmesh looks good when the game is not started and you look at it in the editor. See picture: ![301983-skarmbild-12.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/1/7/0/170a6c11f14ff066592ddb403780fc8a1e76edc6.jpeg) But when i start the game the navmesh moves from the correct position on the map and instead moves under the map. See picture: ![301984-skarmbild-13.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/3/0/6/30634991d3c8d2920c6927574dfea23190bb8a7f.jpeg) The nav mesh worked perfectly before but after i moved some models to parts of the map this problem occurred. I have no idea how to fix it so help would be very nice. ---

Is the navmesh moving, or is it everything else? Have you checked the coordinates of the navmesh before and during the game? ---

I checked the coordintes of the landscape and they are the same in editor and in game. ---

I also checked the coordinates of the navmeshbounds volume. They also stay the same. ---

Ok, but how can that be because you can see the coordinates of one of them is changing… 🙂 ---

I somehow solved it by moving the map in the opposite of the intuitive direction. For exeample if the nav mesh was to high up over the ground i moved the ground even further down to get the navmesh to be placed correctly. I’am still not sure what caused it, maybe i accidentally moved the map before? ---

Check that the “RecastNavMesh-Default” actor in your level is at the origin. Try the following steps: - Delete “RecastNavMesh-Default” - Add a NavMeshBoundsVolume, this will add a new “RecastNavMesh-Default” at the origin - Delete the newly added NavMeshBoundsVolume Edit: If this doesn’t work for you, try checking out this answer [Nav Mesh moves when playing - World Creation - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/832131/view.html) ---

Thank you so much. The recast navmesh was way over somewhere in the map, and setting it to the level origin fixed it. ---

That fixed the problem for me too ! Thanks 🙂
