    Description: I've been testing combat in the Solace Outskirts and have noticed that there are a LOT of times in combat that the thing I'm fighting just disappears.
    Reproduction rate: Hard to say
    Blocker: No
    Details: This has happened with wolves, does, bears, zombies and bandits - I'll be in combat and suddenly the thing I'm fighting either:
    1. Vanishes completely only to reappear far away.
    2. Is right in front of me, not taking damage and then vanishes only to reappear elsewhere.
    3. Is right in front of me, not taking any damage and then runs away...and I mean they really scoot off.

    Steps to Reproduce: Fight things?

    OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit

    @Grimbone no body slam being used. :)

    I did notice that gust is acting goofy, but there were plenty of times no gust was involved. Things would be right in front of me, a doe for example, and I'd be trying to shoot it, no damage dealt and then all of a sudden thing was way off in the distance. Other times I'd be shooting things, a zombie for example and the darn thing would just run off...lol.

    Is it possible you're experiencing network issues? It's possible this could be caused by packets not being sent where an enemy's position isn't being properly updated, and then once it received the next valid location update, will pop it to where it was meant to be?

    I'll check my network, reboot and see if that makes any difference. I'll report back and let you know if I still see the same issues or not :)
