For some odd reason whenever I press the play button my navmesh seems to move position. I have been having an issue getting my AI to move and when I ejected into spectator I saw that my navmesh was all displaced…sure enough moving the ai to the navmesh made it spring to life, but I have no clue why the navmesh is offset on play when looking at the preview it is in the correct place and has no issues building ![264054-navmesh.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/6/a/4/6a4d666c7ff2cd020715f0a912dd2131e02749dd.png) ---

It’s a bug in Unreal. Delete the RecastNavMesh in your level and rebuild the navigation. ---

I’m using UE 5.2 and apparently, this bug still happens. DmitriAzimov’s solution still works too! But, note: At first, I was confused and deleted my NavMesh Bounds Volume, and didn’t delete the associated RecastNavMesh. This did not fix it. That is, I had to also delete the automatically-generated object called RecastNavMesh-Default, and then the problem was fixed. Thanks again to @DmitriAzimov ! ---
