What am I doing wrong with this Road / Editor ?

I'm laying out points with the road tool and as I go the orange no material follows me until about half way then it seems to way to connect its latest point back to its original point.. wtf ? so I figure If I kept going and did the whole "loop / lap" it would fix and snap together, but it didn't and the orange stopped to follow the spline after that happened...

Has anyone had this issue?

I decided to try and delete the points that were causing trouble, but as I did that, the problem just moved along with the points , extremely annoying, so basically I deleted half of the road / track and still the road is trying to connect to itself... wtf

 

I think there is a limit to how long the roads can be, i just join up as many roads as i need and make them look like one, have a look how i done them on my woods point map.

 

You must be right, surprised I didn't see a note about that in the tutorial because I know his roads were lengthy.

I'll check out your thread now.

 

This is what happened to me as well.

Instead of using one long road, make it multiple roads and connect them together.

 

Decal roads have a limit. I keep an eye out when putting them down and when they start acting up I delete back 5-10 nodes just to be safe and then start a new road.
Deleting just the last two or three after it loops back didn't work for me and I ended up putting in patch roads.

Not sure if there is a limit on the amount of total decal roads themselves but I've seen maps with what seems like hundreds.
