At the start of battle i just press F3 F2 and go to shield wall, and they all space out.

I try to drag the formation out or in and they're all spaced out Then every other formation leaves that spaced out either more or less based on formations, even the square they're all spaced out, but after I tell them to charge or advance they collect together as they should, and in Sieges they line up no problem when I drag to move to location. It also happens when I want to move the formation to a certain location using f1 click to location, all the flags are spread out. I thought it was the overhead shieldwall mod but i removed it and reinstalled the game and its still doing it. I think it started with 1.4.0 but idk if its just me or something, am I the only one?

I've noticed this but not as severely as you are. Occasionally when you tell units to make a formation without then telling them to readjust their location they will not properly move into their position. I have been able to solve this by telling the formation to move to a location, slightly forward or back from the original.
I think the issue is that they path to a spot for the initial called formation, then do not often check their position in relation to the formation then auto readjust, without being told to. This makes it so weird gaps show up in defensive lines that don't fill back in unless something is causing the units to move on their own (ie. responding to enemies, charging, moving positions etc.) I notice it most when i ride through my frontline with my horse and the units do not move back into place

Did you have any mounted companions or other horseman in the unit? They sometimes mess up the formations.

Edit:
Just found an similar issue while browsing Tech-Support forum: shield wall formation spreads soldiers
There seems to be a problem with >160 soldiers in a unit.

Yeah I think you might be right, I'm able to form 469 man armies, and i have over 200 infantry. This must be the problem. but even then my 60 cav do the same thing.

Order the group to dismount (f5). It seems to happen when there is a cavalry unit, like a mounted companion or a commander, in a group of infantry.

It's really annoying, especially since the AI will often have all their troops spread out if they are in an army with a horseman commanding the infantry.
