That's a bug in the Atlantica Online Physics Engine.... (Or graphics engine).

This happens only in several regular battle areas. To "return" to normal you would have to restart your client.

Atlantica - Physics? hahaha

Reason for this 'Bug' is the game is waiting for a recall function to be completed and the auto correct function (similar to automove) which is designed to return a monster/merc to its 'waiting' position is struggling to keep up due to connection lagg between you client and the server leading to strange visual bugs

Most times this looks like a monster/merc is runing in circles trying to return to is 'waiting' co-ords other times its as simple as they don't correctly render or position them selfs 'out of place'.

Best solution is to turn down the battle speed till this subsides alittle i find going above 400 for me cause some types of mobs to 'circle jerk' while other time i can run at 900 no problem - Valkyrie is the worst merc for this issue i have found

PSA: Turning up your battles speed is increasing animation speed and needs to sync at time with the server when this fails you get a lag which causes you to have to wait for a full turn to pass for the battle to continue

Playing in window mode it can help to "move" the window.

Might sound strange, but several times that did the trick to fix this running in circles or "stucked" characters in battle mode (minimize the window also can help, but not all the time).

Pausing the game itself with a "hard pause" (suspend the process) can fix the problem too, but thats slighty more complicated to try out, have a crap old file for that.

 Spoiler

Global $hWnd = WinGetHandle("Atlantica Online")
Global $PID = WinGetProcess("Atlantica Online")

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_exit")
Func _exit()
	Exit 0
EndFunc

Global $Pause = 0
HotKeySet("{p}", "_pause")
Func _pause()
	$Pause = NOT $Pause
	if $Pause Then
		_ProcessSuspend($PID)
	Else
		_ProcessResume($PID)
	EndIf
EndFunc

while True
	sleep(200)
WEnd

Func _ProcessSuspend($process)
$processid = ProcessExists($process)
If $processid Then
    $ai_Handle = DllCall("kernel32.dll", 'int', 'OpenProcess', 'int', 0x1f0fff, 'int', False, 'int', $processid)
    $i_sucess = DllCall("ntdll.dll","int","NtSuspendProcess","int",$ai_Handle[0])
    DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'ptr', 'CloseHandle', 'ptr', $ai_Handle)
   If IsArray($i_sucess) Then
        Return 1
    Else
        SetError(1)
        Return 0
    Endif
Else
    SetError(2)
    Return 0
Endif
EndFunc

Func _ProcessResume($process)
$processid = ProcessExists($process)
If $processid Then
    $ai_Handle = DllCall("kernel32.dll", 'int', 'OpenProcess', 'int', 0x1f0fff, 'int', False, 'int', $processid)
    $i_sucess = DllCall("ntdll.dll","int","NtResumeProcess","int",$ai_Handle[0])
    DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'ptr', 'CloseHandle', 'ptr', $ai_Handle)
    If IsArray($i_sucess) Then
        Return 1
    Else
        SetError(1)
        Return 0
    Endif
Else
    SetError(2)
    Return 0
Endif
EndFunc

I solved it by on login AO window you open task manager and set CPU affinity only to CPU 1 and deselect others.
Then back to AO and do Login.
Run CE and play.
Work for me.
