Companion Bug - Cannot Launch

[Kirachi]

So I was fighting 2 runners and they were very close to my companion. He shot his rocket and poof..my companion disappeared!! So..I try and launch him again...but every time I open the case..it jus turns green and then disappears. Tried trouble shooting...anyone have any ideas??
1. Cannot open. Outline is green on the ground..but it goes poof.
2. After trying to open he is gone from my inventory AND from the Tab dial.
3. If I go to a station and use configure..he will show up again in my inventory.
4. I have tried to reconfigure him . as well as creating brand new armor..even tho his old armor barely was scratched.
5. Have reloaded game several times. No luck.
6. This is on Steam PC

He is equipped with rocket, Runner Module and 3 Star Regular Armor. (brand new that cost me 100 steel!!)
Thoughts????

Well..I finally ran the validation for the files and when I went to check he was still missing from my slot and my inventory. So I went to a station and opened the modify part and he was there and NOW he was missing the armor I crafted for him!! SOOOOO..I crafted new armor again. And that seemed to fix it.
If it happens again I will update..otherwise..Hope this helps if anyone else runs into the problem!

I have that bug too, but it is totally random.

You'll probably find it will seem to be OK for a day or two, but it will happen again.

Only seems to occur when I've played long sessions of two hours or more.

Happens to turrets as well.

Exactly! Usually after playing a long time or if I go to a safehouse and leave me computer for an hour or two.

Sometimes re-configuring companion OR restarting PC works.

After the last hot fix, my runner now kicks. I watched it kick a runner that was the last blow to destroy it and I seen it happen again to destroy a tick. I thought that was a nice addition to our runners.

I find that just restarting GZ works.
