Pathfinding still moderately flawed

Pathfinding is still moderately flawed in bg2ee 1.3. Are you (devs+community) aware of this? Are there maybe already another thread regarding this?

If one play a couple of hours in bg2ee 1.3, it gets apparent that pathfinding still isn't working optimally.

I can post some vids if necessary.

What specifically are you seeing, there has been some mention but hard to say if the below is the same or you wish to report other behaviours.
Thanks

These two may cover what I referred to, I might post later if I'll be able to pinpoint pathfinding flaws not already mentioned.

Thanks.

I'm not sure path-finding had been addressed within the 'enhanced editions' at all. That should have been one of the main points of focus.

Trent Oster said in 2013 that attempts at improving pathfinding had been unsuccessful:

But it was improved for version 1.3. See page 3 of the release notes:

I agree that it could still be much better. Getting stuck when walking past another character is especially annoying.

An additional example of pathfinding flaws:

When trying to enter tents at Trademeet from various angles, things get funny.

- entire party immobile, etc.

Save from the depicted situation attached.

Thanks, this looks to be reproducible so will see what can be made of it.
