[Bug] Characters disappearing
Having an issue where sometimes characters disappear in battle - both their sprites or the ability to select them. I've had variations of this happen to me in several fights.

The first time was when I had Alette go on Overwatch and suddenly she turned invisible. An enemy moved into her range (it was a horseborn, not an enemy with an invisibility skill), was not hit by her Overwatch, then attacked her and suddenly Alette came back. However, for the rest of the battle, character sprites would flicker in and out of visibility and all corpses (characters once dead, friend or foe) completely disappeared. At one point Oddleif was attacked but not killed, but completely disappeared from both the screen and the turn order.

More commonly has been where an enemy disappears from the attack selection, which has happened to me a few times. Sometimes in battle an enemy character will be unselectable for an attack - they remain visible and when their turn comes up they can still move and act but they are functionally invincible, none of my characters can select them (again, characters who do not have the invisibility skill). The only solution I can come to is to reload from the most recent save and hope it doesn't happen again.

Otherwise enjoying the game!

Hardware, OS, driver details? Just curious, but the devs will need to know this too.

+1ing this bug report -- I had this happen starting in Bolverk's training series. First Bolverk disappeared then a bunch of other characters disappeared, then I got flickering/flashing characters for the duration of a battle. The disappeared characters could still be controlled but the flickering was super painful on the eyes and made it hard to play -- I'd say it came close to game breaking.

Here's a screenshot which shows the disappearing but can't capture the flickering in a still:

It happened to me exactly one time so far. It was the battle with the big "boss horseman" when the 3 other horsemen are required party members. Characters would often flick off the screen but they usually came back eventually

I encountered this bug in the same place. The enemies were the only characters flickering, while the ranged horseborn, Derdrui, would intermittently go invisible for long periods.
