Roadbook Validation AI losing path

[Kira Von Black]

(in Professional and Simulation mode) in the Roadbook editor, when i try to validade a long track, when the AI car switches map chunk it loses completely all the path information and wanders off without objective, no longer following the waypoints and notes i've placed previously.
this is especially noticeable on Red Sea portion of the Saudi Arabia map (where i do believe some chunks are 25km wide). was this already reported? is this a bug that will be fixed, or is it intended and i'm pushing too much for something i should not be doing?!

meanwhile in the Empty quarter part of the map i can go endlessly in a certain part of the map, entering inside the UAE borders in the map screen, which is cool and makes for a perfect area to try long rally raids.

Bug Happens on note 12 of the roadbook in this example

Hello, I have the same issue - error is not not able to eliminate by location and route change..
Here is video:
https://youtu.be/Yebq2gzryhk
- trouble during path validation
- level of event: simulation
- error occured approx after 110km of event
- not able to eliminate by some route change (if I changed track -> error occured again and again at different place)

And next trouble - regarding roadbook editor is for CP station - I'm not able to pass CP - > I will open new official topic in discussion forum

Thank you for your support in advance

I'm also having this same issue. I've had it with two different stages I've tried to create now.
It seems to be related to the existing bug where ghost tire treads would appear after a micro stutter a certain distance into any stage. If I do a test drive with an autopilot I can have them complete a 500km stage in segments, which leads me to believe there is no issue with the route itself but rather is related to render distance from the start of the stage/segment. It may also be related to another bug I'm having where if I'm viewing an area too far from the start of the stage and I start stage validation, the validating vehicle will spawn in at the DSS but proccede to just steer hard left into the barriers. If I then restart validation, it has no issue.

Perhaps related to how terrain LODs are managed? Is there a maximum radius from a point where the stage is not rendered?

Hi Usurp - I 100% agree with your experience - I have the same issue and experiences.
If the "auto traces" are ocurred - validation of tha path is failed. Also in mode test driving - I'm able to pass track per partes till the "auto traces" are occured - after that the green path of created track is lost.

The "auto traces" are occured through complete map - at official race track, at free ride - but for validation of track at roadbook creator mode it is fail, bug and the function of roadbook creator is very limited - we are not able to create own realistic tracks - its a pitty and I hope that it will be fixed in short time.

And second issue for roadbook creator are CP station - checkpoints.. If I implement CP checkpoint into my track - the race is end in the CP with statement: "INVALID PASSAGE CONTROL" = DSQ and unfortunately this is the second point why the roadbook creator is currently out of function.
Some people can probably say - "Yes, it work properly!" but probably only for short track - not for track like Dakar - sim mode.

Hi all, the trouble is occured not only during test drive or path validation but also If you want to perform an overview of the created and saved track which you created.

You can see a video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWvr1QIu1uQ

- I performed fast run through created track from start to poin where I lost a path (green line) during validation.. The same trouble was occured during editing step - not only during test ride or path validation

First video from validation is here - the place of failed validation is the same as video above
