Alright, this happened to me too.
How many NPCs do you have running on your server in total?

Alright, your problem occurs because your computer specs (not sure which ones) aren't high enough to support that many NPCs/Bots. Basically, they are lagging terribly and virtually teleporting around the path you set it in the .rec file. If you had a speed warning detection system, you could see that the speeds of the NPCs/Bots are jumping from 5k to 10k.
I recommend you try removing OnNPCConnect in OnGameModeInit or OnFilterScriptInit until you only have 1 NPC/Bot connecting to your server, then see if it works.
