Hostage AI broken

[Snooze.]

While doing the Gold Bank heist I kept trying to move hostages and they would each only take a few steps before getting stuck in place? Now I have to resort to dropping one again and getting the other to walk 2 steps before stopping over and over

Hostage pathing got broken a long time ago. Now hostages will walk to whatever spot you're standing in when they full stand up; which means you need to tell them to stand and move to where you want them to go before they finish standing. If you need them to move quite far, you'll have to continually tell them to sit/stand and continue moving away from them as soon as you tell them to stand; they don't 'follow' you anymore.

Yup, and never fixed.
Starbreeze instead wanted OVK to focus on something to make money, since they were near bankruptcy.
Then they put all dev focus into Payday 3, and got the game half done before Starbreeze said "good enough, release it."

in my lobby, the hostage pathing is fine, i don't have to constantly sit them down and get them up, the game updates my location well, what's up with that?


and i did not even download any hostage path fix/peak mod

The hostages have been broken for ages.

Well you've download something that fixes the pathing but doesn't advertise itself doing so. Don't pretend to be dumbfounded.

You definitely have a mod that fixes their pathing.

There are a number of QoL mods which fix that (Better Bots; Iter; Keepers; Please, Go There; and many more).
In addition to hostages, your AI team and jokers will get better navigation. Cops included as well - which will make them a bit "harder", as they'll flank and engage more freely w/o getting stuck or stay idle - which will make the game more interesting, imo.
