AI lock-up

[xanaki]

Anyone else having these occasional AI lock-ups where your team mates just suddenly stop moving/following you and just stand still at certain location. This happens especially in ME 1.

Fortunately this can is resolved when you exit the area (thru loading screen), but the problem is when in certain scenarios you can't exit until you've completed the mission goal.

Did you order them to go/stay somewhere? You can press C to make them come back.

i had this problem on feros, for me it was tali thankfuly liara worked fine, tho tali would teleport to me when i got to far away. i even tried useing the Q and E buttons to see if she would move but tali dident even say anything just stood there. i dident have the issue after that place tho.

Nope. Did not give any intentional orders. Might be a miss click tho :) But it has happened quite often for me.

Same here. Had it a few times when entering a room for example.
I think this usually only happened when they were a fair bit away from my/Shepard's position.

I have had them getting stuck behind a closed door when they did not get through it in time. As well as getting stuck on other things preventing them from going forward. So a lot of going back to get them to follow me again.

They do seem to teleport back to you if you engage in a conversation with someone, or take an elevator.

Just keep an eye on them so they do not get lost before going into a battle :-)

This has happened to me more than once :) I'm too hasty to engage in a battle I guess *grin*

Press the button associated with Rally command, then they follow you.

In ME1, they might get stuck on tiny terrain features like the rocks in the water on Virmire. Quicksave/quickload there tends to teleport them closer to you.

In ME3, I've seem them sometimes seemingly idle (well, stay in cover doing nothing) in combat for a while -- James in particular. Don't know whether it's because there's too much incoming fire and their scripting just forces them to stay in cover, or whether there they're waiting for a cooldown that's overly long, or whether e.g. some ability/gear combos for them just result in bugged behavior.

This is what has been happening to me in ME1 quite many times now. Quick Save/Load works, just need to remember to QS often :)
