Hahaha that's hilarious! Yeah, I ran into that problem when I was making episode 2, I accidentally added an infinite loop if you manage to get close to him and he doesn't catch you, that's my bad! I think by standing behind the boxes where the navmesh doesn't reach you also caused the infinite loop. I figured the chase was so short it wasn't worth going back and fixing in episode 1, that's impressive you managed to trigger it!
Thanks for the playthrough, man, I really appreciate it!
