It's happened twice now that the game randomly crashed and when I relaunch it and load the last save, all enemies and NPCs are gone. The bodies of dead enemies still remain, but all alive entities just disappear. Sleeping in a bed fixes this.

I'm playing the vanilla game without the DLC.

BTW please implement some kind of autosave a la Souls games, I've already lost hours of progress due to these random crashes and the fact that only sleeping or quitting saves the game.
