Hoxton Breakout Glitch.

[Siðhrafn]

So, this happened when I was playing Hoxton Breakout offline.

Any idea why this was happening?

Since you have 3 bots in your screenshots it's save to assume it's one of your mods messing with team ai.

it's old glitch

You could say that Hoxton broke out of his small chamber!

I don't think so.

During the start of the 2nd day I closed one of the entrances of the office, when that happend Hoxton didn't go to any of the other two entrances (which is weird as bots can enter closed entrances by sliding under the closed entrances, which opens briefly as bots do that). The game also doesn't consider Hoxton a part of the team, only as an unique escort NPC.

If you have mods, ALWAYS check if it´s caused by them.

It's a rare glitch and has been around since release.

I´d honnestly blame your mods for the moment. Especailly since at least one of your mods messes with the AI.

Nontheless, I´ll move this one to Bug Reporting for the moment.

Correct, and I've experienced it at release. But I have not seen it again since release. And hence why it is highly likely it is a mod causing this.

I haven't seen it at release or without a mod tbh. I have however used an experimental mod that a friend gave me that touched some general bot behaviour and it caused this sort of glitch several times (I've since deleted that mod because it did stuff like that).

Makes sense. The reason why it happened at release was that Hoxton could get stuck in certain areas (particularly the walkways if you blew them up). Which is how this happened:

This was taken in Feb last year and was generally an issue that could happen at release (along with a few others), but he hardly paths into the walkways anymore. And I have not seen this bug since then.

However, in OP's case, I guarantee it is mods.

Ah I see. Thanks. Those pesky walkways!

I think the reason why I didn't see them is that we hardly ever brought C4 and if we did, only 1 person would bring it and we blew up the top floor's 2 walkways and held on to the extra 2 remaining shape charges for objectives.

I had it 2 months ago when I was hosting. I have never used any AI altering mods.

[Hassat Hunter]

Hefty desync can cause it.
But that's fairly unlikely on solo.

But heavily messing with AI? Yup, pretty much putting my money on mods there.

Some AI mods can affect hosts as well (see SC's Mod for a reference).

But otherwise the only way I *might* still be able to get it is if he decides to path onto a walkway right before it blows up. Which is a bit tricky to do (as I'd need only the window facing doors to open up, and then get him to path onto one of the two walkways).

That being said, I would like PsychoticFalcon to try this without mods on (at least the ones that affect AI). And see if he can still reproduce this problem.
