Has anyone else had their leveled up twilight randomly despawn over and over?

I'm alone out in the countryside, no combat, no crafting tables anywhere in sight, and a freshly summoned twilight will just despawn within several seconds of spawning it.

I noticed it 2 or 3 days ago.
It just disappears with no apparent reason or cause.
I've seen it just vanish within a few seconds, especially when my sorc starts walking right after the summons.

They also appear to despawn in harrowstorms with no enemy contact at times when there are few players around, so it's not as if the field was overpopulated.

Anyone else notice this, or determined a cause?
The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.

    Assuming you have it double-barred so it doesn't despawn when you barswap, sounds like maybe some kind of addon issue.

    Never experienced pets vanishing outside the Warden Bear when I was running all over the countryside and (I assume) it couldn't figure out pathing to me.

    Most of my toons don't have anything on the back bar, I rarely use it, I'm not that versatile, but I'll turn off addons for a while and see if it matters.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Just for clarity: The Sorcerer pets and Warden bear behave differently from most skills. They need to be on both your front and back bar to ensure they're 'permanent'.

    If you have the Twilight Matriarch on your front bar, but not also somewhere on your back bar -- it will unsummon itself once you switch to backbar.

    If you have Twilight Matriarch slotted somewhere on both your front bar and back bar, then it will say out regardless of which bar you switch to. Same for the imp pet/clannfear, and the Warden's bear summon ultimate (has to be your ultimate on both bars to stay permanent).

    Very few people intentionally put those pets on only one of their two bars.

    Yes. Sorc pets de-spawn in random area's throughout the game. Craglorn has an area like this. This bug? Has existed since release.

    Yes. There is also an area in Stormhaven near the gate to Wrothgar and the boss where everything despawns. Sorc pets and companions, both. I have to remember to summon them before I take on the world boss. I have noticed similar areas all over the place. I have reported at least one of these, and they are still unfixed, so I don't report them anymore. It apparently is not a high priority for ZOS.

    Thnx, but I dont even have a weapon on the back bar on most* of my toons, so it'd be really easy to know if I swapped bars by mistake.

    * = 'most of my toons' would be 16 out of 18.

    PC EU / NA - I have to have the combat pet in the same slot on both bars e.g. Flappy needs to be in slot 5 on both bars.
    Typically I have the imp on slot 4 and flappy on slot 5 - although now playing with crit surge and find I do not need flappy for most content.
