[BUG][7.10HF3]Cargo drones get stuck on highway - Fixed in a future update

Post by BitByte »

Version 7.10 hotfix 3 English from GOG with SV, CoH & ToA DLCs no mods
OS: Windows 10

Description:
I took control of ship (Behemoth E SCA (Marine)) in south end of highway in Company Regard and at that point cargo drones were launched due there was some containers nearby from station due Scale Plate robbed Teladi station.
I chased SCA ship to north end of highway in Company Regard and cargo drones started find their way to highway to get my location.

When they finally reach the highway they stop moving no matter how long I wait them. If I open the map and release control of the ship drones move 7-10km and stop again. When I take control of ship again they move same distance.
If I wait that ship pilot takes control and tell to "proceed with orders" again drones move 7-10km and stop.
So releasing and taking again control of the ship drones finally reach the north end of highway. When they get out from it drones start working normally and fly to my ship.

Test scenario:
Behemoth E SCA (Marine) is located in Company Regard at north end of highway's right side. Cargo drones (3 units) are located in south end right side of highway.
Wait that drones get to highway left lane and they stop there. If you select drone their speed and distance stays same even they should move.
Keep map open and release ship control to see drones are moving.
Take again control of the ship and check that drones are again changed place. You can select drone to see it's speed and distance have also changed.
If want keep doing this until drones reach north end of highway and they start moving normally.

This issue seems to fixed in a future update.

The drones are able to use the highway just fine, so you won't need to micromanage them. Though they do sort of take their time, because they kind of just move along in "pulses," which is odd to watch. That might just be a side effect of something else at the moment though.
