I just purchased and installed this game a few days ago (2.0.4k is the patch listed).

Starting a game with an animal companion gives a controllable animal, but they don't show up in the character portraits, you can't activate a character sheet for them (or level them up, leaving them at 1 hp).

Can't find this issue anywhere on line - is it just me? Any thoughts or anyone else having this problem.

Seelah's mount also shows onscreen but not in the character pool (1 hp).

look at the bottom of the pet owner character bar portrait, you just need to click on that to open the pet screen up.

Thank you... man I feel dumb...
