Some roads do not road

[Flying Toaster]

Some roads seem to be missing the road navmesh for vehicles. I gave a convoy a series of "on road" waypoints and they took rather strange directions. You can see in the screenshot that the main road is apparently not detected as a road by the AI:

Yeah, there are several places where vehicles leave a perfectly good main road to detour through some forest tracks for ages. Seems the roads aren't quite joined up.

It looks like there are some bridges missing, at least on the road from Fulda to Alsfeld, then Alsfeld to places west towards Giessen or Friedberg.  If you zoom in on where the path zigs the first time you will probably see a missing bridge.

There are some bridges missing, but that isn't the case for most of the disconnected roads that I saw. If you experiment with this and move the waypoints around tiny bits you'll find that there is usually one short segment of road that has no navmesh.

I have the same problem and have noticed that it is also a huge issue when vehicles have to drive under a bridge. Apparently, this is (sometimes) not possible, which results in the vehicle taking a ludicrous detour. For example, this is the case on the B243 between Herzberg and Osterode. All of the units I tested could drive under those bridges when set to "Off ronullad."

Simple fix if you don't plan on crossing to many of these buggy roads is to put a waypoint "on road" (WP2) before the problem area, then one "off road" (WP3) behind and then another "on road" (WP4) after that. (Example is from N 51°39'52.18'' E 10°19'34.35'')

I know there was something mentioned in the recent patch notes about "optimized build of ground unit routes" but I am still seeing a lot of issues with pathing for on-road routes.  For example, along this one section of highway I am seeing three segments that it won't route vehicles through:

 

At 32 U NB 48231 33379

 

At 32 U NB 50013 33743

 

At 32 U NB 61160 29189
