How to fix companions constantly getting stuck / refusing to follow / idling for no reason.

[Lycan]

As the title says, I near constantly have this problem where the companions simply either just stop following at random, will jump across a crevice only to then stop moving, will climb a ladder and stop moving, will watch me jump over a gap and maybe one will follow while the other two just sit and refuse to budge.. Please tell me there is a way to set the AI to just freaking follow the steps I take?

Considering the replies of countless others, I doubt you will like the actual answer.

Oh dear.. :_: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.. Cus honestly I spend maybe a third of my gameplay un-stucking these idiot AI and it's starting to become infuriating enough to make me want to stop playing.

There is currently no fix for the issue of them getting stuck.

There isn't a good fix as far as I know. It just happened again to me last night in Shar's Temple. Laezel sat downstairs while the rest of us went up the elevator.

You can hit the fast travel and it will teleport your whole party so they are together. I know it's not ideal, but sometimes it's easier than ungrouping and manually walking the character to the rest of the party.

It's just another example of the bad "Larian Chain" method of character control.

The only thing I've found that works for me is to ungroup and regroup the party.

You can take control of them individually, or you can fast travel to a waypoint.

Amazing where to people thoughts wander.
I have hardly any issues with that.

It's a well known issue that's been around since the start of EA.It's not constant, but happens probably every couple sessions for me.

Weirdly funny.

Theres no way to fix it. AI of BG3 is very poor and dumb. Party members cant avoid traps, ground dangers or follow the lead properly even more when it need jump action. All party members can do good, is only try to have a night of love with your character.

Make sure they arre with you when you go up elevators
You have 21 str .... they dont .... so they cant make the jump you just made.....
