So far for me it's only happened on quick load and I didn't lose any items my characters started with only items that I had looted from enemies.

I too report this bug:

 

ATM happened only after saving the game: My BB priest lost all her weapons but the large shield and my BB wizard lost all but the small shield. Without his Grimoire he's pretty useless.

 

 

EDIT: Also my main char doesn't have weapon and shield shown in the inventory model, but in game are shown;

 

BB wizard's cape, after selecting him in inventory and then selecting everyone else, overlaps with other models. I'll upload a screenshot next time.

This has happened to me as well. My fighter lost his shield I had him wield, rogue lost weapons, etc etc. It has happened more than once, but I don't know how to duplicate this.

Yes to this issue, which affected both playthroughs.

 

My experience:  both times the disappearing items were weapons (not shields) placed in the quick slot (either 1 or 2 affected but not both) and not for all characters.

 

1st time occured during area transition from level 2 to ground floor of inn.  Funnily enough I saw the weapons lying on inn floor (but un touchable/collectable).

 

2nd time occurred during area transition from village to the left hand of the external areas.  Did not see weapons lying around but perhaps more difficult to see given the terrain.

 

Side note; such a big problem that the error effectively terminated both my playthroughs of the beta and both times after playing for less than 2 hrs per time.  Interesting to read that others have had this occur over much longer playthroughs.
