When I load a saved game my companion bear is no longer there.  He was there when I saved. A green x is where he should be when the save loads but then it moves off across the screen .  When I double click the icon spot where his symbol should be it takes me to a random point on the map as if that's where my companion is.  

I have a similar problem. I reached Gilded Vale and was running around town when I noticed my bear is missing and the icon for it is completely white. I noticed only after going into the building with the guy who lost his friend in the cave with the giant bear. I tried seeing if I could fix this by loading a saved game, but now it shows 2 blank companions that I can't do anything with. Now I can't go into any building or leave town because it says I need to gather my party. 

I am having the exact same issue in gilded vale. died to bandits, reloaded no companion. Now I cant ;eave as i need to gether my full party which is impossible.

I can confirm this too, for me its the auto save that has this issue, normal saves so far is fine, but loading an auto save and my ranger companion is gone.

 

this I hope gets fixed soon. bit of a game breaker without a pet

This bug happened earlier, and reloading a previous save in another area seemed to fix it. Now I'm stuck completely as I had no save from a previous area and all saves seem to be corrupted now. The bug is severe and game-stopping since you can't leave an area without your companion.

Hey,

 

Can you please attach your save games and output logs?

Thanks!

Encountered the same bug, very bad because it's a game breaker. Loading a game does not fix this, also quit and restart game doesn't help. Stuck for now with my invisible bear

Ok, here is a screenshot of the bug. It just got weirder, i did another save and reload and got two new non-existing followers screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/DUrf9Ao.jpg

also just ran into this bug.

pet is gone and i cant leave the zone.

pretty much gamebreaking... not happy right now...

hmm, add to my last post that apparently more than just the pet is broken. in the savegames that include this bug(all of them....grrrr) the ability bars for my chars also dont show up anymore...cmon...

I got the game through GoG so the path was different but I found the output_log.txt file and zipped it up to get around the upload size restrictions.  I was only able to attach two of my four save games before hitting the overall size limit, but they all have the same problem described.  Let me know if you need the other two -- I can probably attach them in a separate post.

Have this same exact bug...pet is gone and a white circle appears in his place as a portrait. Support here says to close the client, restart and reload to fix the issue...but that doesn't help. This is a show-stopper as you can't change maps without gathering your party...

Is anyone else getting a white window at the bottom too? I wish my bear wasn't invisible so I can continue the game. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197994886667/screenshot/527259506509747016

lol, ok, now I just tried the same save again and the pet is there again.   This is weird.

Maybe he had urgent business to attend off screen and returned as soon as he could. In all seriousness, hopefully it's one of those weird one off glitches.

It isn't. It really, REALLY isn't. And it is breaking the game completely for me. First time I loaded my ranger character the companion is gone. Since I am now reading that it doesn't only happen for companions but also followers, why would I want to make a new game if it will just happen all over again?

 

Until there is a proper fix for this, PoE will have to sit in the dark corner of my Steam Library and remain unplayed.

Ahh, I see. I'm sorry, I didn't quite get it at first. There are so many posts/threads to approve that I tend to skim them mostly to make sure that they're on the up and up. That's a real bummer man and I hope the issue is resolved for you and soon!

OK I have included my autosave and output log, still seems that only my auto save is effected for the time being,

 

from the output log I noticed

The referenced script on this Behaviour is missing!

The asset bundle 'D:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity/PillarsOfEternity_Data\assetbundles/prefabs/objectbundle/cre_bear_animal_companion.unity3d' can't be loaded because another asset bundle with the same files are already loaded.

this probably is the issue? but anyway, hope the log provides the answer, as this is a game breaking bug.

its not that bad when it happens to a follower since you can always just dismiss them via manageparty in the console.

the pets sadly you cannot dismiss and therein lies the problem.

this is a game breaker. reloading after quitting and restarting client didn't help for me

In my case the complete party-management is broken. Starting with a missing ranger companion up to white boxes with "name-error" in the partymember select window. Changing zone/map is mostly impossible cause the missing ranger pet gives a "you must gather your party before venturing forth" . I tried to dismiss ALL members but this was no solution. My main charakter was not solo because there was a npc always by his side, not in the party but by his side on the maps. Reinviting the original members was ok and the npc gone but after that there was the nasty ranger companion bug again.
