Why Henchman Disappear SpellCasters!

[ixcor]

I may not be playing a spellcaster because I don't see how a spellcaster can survive but I discovered a bug in the game in relation to missing henchman.

I thought, hey it might be neat to bring up the druid companion and sorceror familar as extra's.

BIG mistake. On zoning out the game on loading the new zone thought my henchman familar or druid companion were my henchmen. I lost while zoning Neeshka. I go back to the INN in Neverwinter to zone back out with a new party to see if she is on the list and what's on the list of available henchman? Neeshka is missing and the Soceror Familar is now a selectable henchman!

If I do not summon familar or companions, the problem doesn't occur but If you zone with a companion or familar as a spellcaster good chances are you can kiss your actual henchman goodbye for good. They are GONE.

I'm warning you now, you do a familar or companion and zone out of a zone you may or may not loose a henchman in the process but it's definitely happening and i was able to duplicate the problem more than once.

Bug Fixes

General
• Animal Companions, Familiars, and Summoned Creatures are now unsummoned when a roster member is being despawned. This will address problems where companions can become familiars on transitions...

Sigh. Why didn't you say so in my AWOL companions (http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=549953) post?

Either case. Beta patch is out, for all those wondering, i found the link 1.03 beta patch (http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NWN2Other.Detail&id=39)

i purchased the game months after this thread. A few weeks ago I was battling the smelly demon in Act 2. Neeshka, shandra, Casivir, Qara. Neeshka vanished after defeating the Demon... or maybe even during t\battle. I still see an empty Character thumb, even when I have a full party (there is an extra one with no pic). She is not at any base. what patch is this fix in because I have updated to the current patch?

Funny thing also happened, this is in regards to the familiar. Qara's familiar, after the demon battle, was encumbered yet there was no icon to show this and the thumb was wierd, it looked like it had a leash on or its head was caught in a hunting trap. You could even see it when you zoomed in on the familiar during play. It trailed behind everywhere. I wish i had a screenshot.
