Update 7 - NPCs remain static

Since update 7, it seems every settlement I visit all the NPCs remain standing still - frozen to the floor.
Is this what they mean by optimised?
 
That was an occasional bug that appeared after Update 5 (I believe) that could be solved by relogging.

Of course, that meant the entire settlement's loot also disappeared.

If that's true, then they have re-introduced an old bug (or never really solved the original one).

yeah - the static NPCs in settlements are especially painful as the one I found was watching the data point, so there was no way to do a download without them seeing me. Still got away though, hiding on the roof still works :)
 
I experienced the opposite problem to the static NPCs. I was trying to snipe a guard from his flank he would just not stay still. Kept moving a pace forward and then a pace back. And my mind flashed back to urban patrolling techniques. Always had to balloon, bob and weave and not present an easy, static target for a sniper.

I am sure that this was a bug and not some Dev well versed in military techniques.
