Bug reports
Players that just stand and stare
- This apparently has to do with the number of "duels" that Oni can handle simultaneously. 2x7 players usually work out fine, but for more players it can happen that some characters are singled out and can't start a fight with anyone, because the rest of the players already form a network that has the maximum number of "duels". This could be fixed by making some players forget their opponents, allowing for new awareness/duel links to be created.

Resolved issues
Insufficient pathfinding grid cache
- This used to cause crashes for battles spanning a few BNVs cumulating too many pathfinding grid squares. Typically, this happens in the TCTF parking lot, in some areas of the Airport, and in some multi-storey areas of the Bio-Research Lab. The fix is either to lock out a few areas (e.g. lock the doors between the TCTF parking lot and the main building) or, ultimately, to increase the size of the pathfinding grid cache. This has been available as an in-place patch for the EXE, and is now handled by the Daodan DLL.

Inconsistent pathfinding data
- The only example of that so far is the main gate of the Bio-Research Lab. Even though it's closed, the pathfinding graph is the same as if it was wide open. Therefore, the AI may attempt to pathfind through it, and Oni may crash when they are blocked by the gate. This used to occur in the acid room: enemies falling to the "garage" side would start running out the garage and around the block and through the main gate and up the aisle and into the lobby and up the stairs and into the acid room again. The obvious fix to this was to lock a few doors.
