Boffs not following me.

in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
I just played Echoes of Light for the first time. On the station, my Boffs followed me only to the first engagement. They then fixated on targets I could not see, and failed to follow me out of several rooms after combat. Even setting waypoints did not get them to focus on the correct group of targets. Has this happened to anyone else?

    I had this problem, too. Had coax them around a lot. Boff pathing has always been troublesome with doorways and some floor surfaces, at times.

    Something in the patch has really made this problem worse... my BOFFs are now pretty much useless at following me at all now, I'm constantly trying work out where they are in the Dyson sphere battle ground and playing Echoes of Light... well you may as well forget you have them because I can't get them to follow me. They either stand outside the first room on K13 and set up turrets which are useless because the doors are closed or they just stand around inside the first room and do nothing for the rest of the time you are on K13.

    I have made the following observations about them...

    - my BOFFs don't appear to be able to run which means they get left behind an awful lot
    - if you go through a door and it closes before the BOFFS gets near it then they just stop and stay where they are
    - when you go into battle they just stand around for a while and then eventually engage with the enemy... if there is anyone left to engage!

    I suspect is has something to do with the patch update on 24th when changes were made to make BOFFs and NPCs walk at a similar speed to your character but this has really screwed something up.

    Same problems here.
    NO to ARC
