CS2: No Navigation Mesh — why bots don't move

Example error line

No Navigation Mesh, or Wrong Version
Cause

Bots need a nav mesh — the map's "movement map". Official maps such as de_dust2 or de_mirage ship one; on Workshop/community maps it's missing if the creator did not include one. This cannot be added server-side.

Fix

No action needed on the server. First check the usual bot console settings (bot_stop 0, bot_zombie 0, bot_difficulty) in the map pool manager. If bots move normally on official maps but not on a Workshop map, that map is simply missing its nav mesh — pick a bot-ready map instead.
