[Bug] "Failed to generate random points for Creature"

[ghost]

Current behavior:
After several hours of casual play on the latest build, my server.log is full of "Failed to generate random points for Creature" with different IDs and from different zones, many monsters are idle and no longer wander as they should. My maps/mmaps/vmaps are fresh and clean btw.

Client version:
1.12.1

Operating system:
Windows 11 Pro

Here is the list after 30 minutes of run time :

I've noticed that some of them (GUIDs: 17507, 20574, 20869, 18571, 17492) which are all located closely to each other were fine at first but after wandering around them for minutes they stopped to move and the errors popped in the server console right after.

I can leave the server running for hours for testing purposes and see what happens if that helps, the longer I wait the more errors I get in the log.

Obviously most of them comes from the Barrens yet not all so i don't know what's going on here.
If you need anything else please let me know.

[attackpure100]

same issue faced here. in elwynn the creature throwing the error is the whelp that spawns in the very south of burning steppes (considered elwynn forest on the map?)

perhaps this commit had an effect on some mobs? d4c0f86
