Wander speed: 24.9
Wander duration: 67.9
Wander weight: 20
Wander distance: 41.2
Wander idle time: 5
Wander path nodes: 15

Idle duration: 5
Idle weight: 1

any help would be much appreciated

    As far as I know you can't do anything about that yet. Probably should bring it up in the bugs section.

    Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I sit and watch with similar settings to the OP and it seems it works on occasion.

    Is this during preview ("Play Map" button) or after publish?

    Wander is special in that it requires the pathfinding information be available. Since that is generated during publish, wander will do nothing during Preview before a Publish. If you publish your map, then it will work until you drastically change the map (thereby invalidating the pathfinding information).
