Horrible climbing and jumping

Good morning!
I searched for this but didn't find anything so if this has been discussed at length, please direct me to the thread 🙏

All my climbin species, but especially the big primates, climb in a terrible fashion - basically they only walk up, glitch around, and walk down - most of the time they jump-fly 10 meters in a static pose 10 next to the climbing structure. They will run on all 4s on the thinnest rope or the new metall frames (forgot their name, sorry) but refuse to walk down a 1m plank and instead glitch in circles.
I am not a patient or gifted builder so most of the time my enclosures are flat with very standard climbing structures (often I simply use the frontier prebuilds) so this bothers me quite a bit. I also feel like they used to climb better in earlier game versions.
Is this a common issue, or are my climbing species simply...special?

In case it matters, i have a "good" laptop and it also happens if nothing but 2 chimpanzees and a climbing structure is on the map.

thanks in advance!

To be fair i avoid big cats except siberian tigers because i think its hilarious that those hangout on a branch in a tree at fifteen meters height.

While the free climbing is great and i wouldnt have it any other way, its also just a very buggy system.
Which makes sense as its quite the complex task to pathfind along none premade structures and make it look good at the same time.
So eventhough they regulary are trying to fix it little by little the wonky climbing and moonjumps just are something to get used to for now, eventhough your obviously in your full right to complain.
Hopefully one day they will overhaul the system and climbing will be less buggy and smoother, but we can only hope for now

Yeah, there's been reams of discussion on it. Basically it's a complicated system and it's probably always going to be buggy, at least until they take the lessons learned here to the next version of PZ whenever that happens.
