CustomTimeScale snapping

We speed up our game with a custom time scale in our own TimeManager, and it seems to me that the TimeScaledRateManager’s CustomTimeScale should help me speed up the FollowerEntitys’ movement. We use FollowerEntitys on a RecastGraph. When we set CustomTimeScale mid play session, the FollowerEntitys do move faster/slower, but when we

  • lower the CustomTimeScale (e.g. from 1 to 0.5) the pathfinding system visibly stops FollowerEntities for a moment

  • raise the CustomTimeScale (e.g. from 1 to 2) the pathfinding system completes current FollowerEntity paths immediately

My issue seems to be fixed by changing a line, but if I have misunderstood something, I would love to know. In AIMovementSystemGroup.ShouldGroupUpdate() I changed the following line:

var currentTime = group.World.Time.ElapsedTimeCustomTimeScale;

changed to

simulationElapsedTime += group.World.Time.DeltaTime * CustomTimeScale;
var currentTime = simulationElapsedTime;

and I added a private field to the AIMovementSystemGroup:

double simulationElapsedTime;
