Follow Me and Coarseplay issues

[GrandTickler]

anyone know what im doing wrong? whenever i press the Initiate and choose button on any harvester it just starts doing these extreme left/right turns nonstop for like a full minute before it stabilizes and actually starts following the vehicle thats 25 feet infront of me with Follow Me. i have to make sure theres nothing near the harvesters otherwise it will just slam into a wall.

Then there's Coarseplay which i have multiple issues with.
1. all my settings reset everytime i quit the game, for every, single, vehicle. mainly the options: Avoid driving in fruit resets to Activated. and Avoid using pathfinder in turns resets to Deactivated. also all my driving speeds reset to default. do i have to permanently change this in some config file?
2. Coarsemanager to load routes is unreliable after restarting the game and results in multitool harvester setups not working at the width they are programmed at. like even if they are programmed to work at 15m width, they would suddenly do a random lower number like 10
3. and yet another multitool setup issue. all my harvesters or seeders just end up keeping tangled into each other whenever they move from headlands to center lanes at some point.
4. after long play sessions the Open coarse generator button just becomes unavailable/invisible until i restarted the game

Sounds like something keeps getting overwritten after you finish your session.
Are your files saved on OneDrive or other "Shared Location" by any chance?

Courseplay shouldn't cause settings resetting.. At least haven't for me unless I fiddle with the files. I've only had those settings problems with AutoDrive and that's usually been due not remembering to actually "Apply" the changes..

Some tools just doesn't work with the AI (courseplay included), either due them being weird shapes, lengths or weird power/weight combinations. AI just cant figure out how to untangle those jackknifed machines.

I'm also pretty sure that issue with loading into tracks with multiple tools is/was known issue with the game itself.. or something like that. Pretty much that yes, game can write down the "general plan" but NOT which "sub-lane" the machine was on.

Courseplay seems to fetch the work-widths from the "model data" (so to speak) of machines. If the machine model is not properly set up in the Editor, CP could use the wrong information.

hey thanks for the reply. i have the game saved on a nvme ssd, and the mods are stored on a regular ssd (both internal) in Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2022\mods
i dont have onedrive enabled on my pc in any way either so i guess something else is preventing it from saving? i mainly use winrar to open zipped up files. maybe i can save the settings somewhere inside the coarseplay mod?

Coursepaly saves (or at least SHOULD save) its main settings in "\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2022\modSettings\FS22_Courseplay" but individual vehicle settings are added to the standard vehicle settings stored in "vehicles.xml" in your savegame folder inside each vehiles normal settings eg.

<FS22_Courseplay>
<cpVehicleSettings>
<settings currentValue="2" name="showCourse"/>
<settings currentValue="false" name="openHudWithMouse"/>
<settings currentValue="true" name="fuelSave"/>
<settings currentValue="true" name="turnOnField"/>
<settings currentValue="true" name="avoidFruit"/>
...etc

thanks a lot for the directions. i looked at the xml and it seems like 12 out of 17 vehicles needed to have their settings changed lol, i hope it will stick this time cause the more vehicles i have the more time consuming it gets having to individually change the settings for them each play session :P the file was not set to read only either so not sure whats causing it to not save ingame. (unless the crashing upon exiting game with mods installed is still a thing, resulting in xml files not updating)

What version of CP are you using?
Do you have any warnings or errors in your log when this starts happening?
