Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Help/Tips/Tricks Companions xp bug?

I started a new game after the update and with my heros at level 4 I went to the hall of heros to higher Cain. When I hire him he is level 1 and even after dismissing and rehiring him he doesn't gain the xp to get to my main heros level. This is happening with all the companions I can purchase. Jahan and Medora are working correctly and after hiring them they become the correct level. Anyone else having this bug?

Yes, others have reported this.

I hope, it will be fixed soon ?

I had this issue in a multiplayer game. Someone else was hosting. The hire showed full level gain, then was put into my control. Once under my control, she reverted to level 1. We reloaded to before we hired, rehired, turned her over to my control, and everything worked fine.
