NPC stealth ability

Yesterday and today, I have noticed mobs I am fighting fade in and out of veiw. They literally become invisible. It is not all of them or even all in a fight.
Yeti's in Canada,
mentalists in the enclave near them, the viper people near the demons
and now Argent in MI preserve.

They still attack normally, they just turn invisible.

    All the groups you listed have attacks that lower your perception. For example, Bigfoot Shamans have Snowstorm, and Viper Infiltrators/Argent Counteragents (I think it's counteragents, but not sure) have smoke bombs. Not sure about the Viper psychics having perception lowering abilities, since I try to avoid them. When you say 'not all in a fight', do you mean not in combat? Because that would definitely be a bug. It could still be a bug, if they're disappearing randomly without using those specific powers.

    You could also try slotting a Perception core and seeing if that helps. I've grown into the habit of shoving one into my utility primaries just so I can see red triangles on my Minimap. It's kept me from being caught unaware in quite a few hallways.

    Not that it'll be much use if they broke yet another thing, though.

    VIPER Psionics under Mind Slayer's control in the Mentalist Enclave shouldnt have turn invisible abilties unless they are the VIPER Psionic Pummelers...but even then I dont ever recall any group outside of PSI who use Mentalists to use hypnosis to obscure your vision in combat...

    these are all ones that have never vanished before. They may be nearby and suddenly turn invisible or fade in and out.
    They can do it out of combat or in.

    I had the same thing happen with my nemesis minions today ( robots with power armor powers) really quite strange.
