Defeated enemies vanishing instantly.

I've notice that lately that sometimes when you defeat an enemy, they vanish the instant you defeat them. In the past unless you vaporized an exposed foe, their body stayed on the ground for a bit before despawning.

This first caught my attention on Defera in the battle zone fighting borg. Then again today when I was playing the Undying mission on Nimbus, when in the Stronghold the foes you fight in the arena and later many of the Orion thugs would go poof the second you defeated them regardless of how you downed them.

    The same thing is happening around the towers in the Dyson space battlezone (with the Voth, not the Undine one).

    Just noticed this issue on Defera Invasion Zone, myself. It doesn't occur everywhere on the map, only in specific areas. In the little exploring I've done in the "City" region, it seems to occur in the "Medium" area where most medium-difficulty missions take place. As soon as you walk across an invisible threshold, loot beyond it vanishes. And enemies defeated beyond the threshold evaporate.

    Yet, it seems the loot is still there, but as if it's in a different "phase". It's visible if you don't walk past the threshold, but still unlootable.

    If this is occurring across the game in other maps, as suggested, it can not only make it awkward-looking and pull a player out of immersion, but also cause problems for players doing missions that require specific loot drops. It's quite strange.

    I join in report of this on on Defera Invasion zone, this bug prolongs missions by significant time, as you kill borgs and nothing drops from them whole time, then you move away, and map is full of loot. When you get closer to looting range, everything disappears. Only solution is to wait and try and try again and hope loot appears. This happens especially within city, yes.
