I'll try to look at BotFindGoal function. Maybe they should really more often care about goal waypoints than on Team specific waypoints.

In any case, they just walk around (In most cases they seem to find a proper way to go, but then they cancel and step back, it almost looks like they run in circles because they just won't make up a decision where they want to go), it tooks much to long for deciding.

I've really delayed the time to take the decision, to lower down CPU usage (but I should test it only at bots spawn (and the time right after it). It was done so, because at every round start the CPU usage was dramatically incresed (all of the bots were calculating their paths in one frame - just after respawn, so I changed it - now the paths are calculated so - only one path for only one bot in one frame. Probably to much restricted.

He stops, cancels, returns rushes into his teammates and gets stucked - I think that would be the explanation of this scene).

The task follow user has been completely rewritten since PB 2.5, so they now really can follow the user including also all flag the waypoinnts have on the path (for example jump). Bots are trying to place somewhere near their "user" - yes - I should look if it's not somewhere on the ladder then...
