I thought there was supposed to be a fix! Now, whenever I go near a mission lair, and go under cover, the lair and NPCs disappear until I go 1000m away from it and go back!

This does not just effect rifle cover... It has been a live issue for a while.
Despawning of mission lairs is pretty common bug.

This has never happened to me before, not until this Publish. And since the Publish, it's happened every time I try it, although once without using Cover as well. The Publish has definitely done something to my system for this.

This is a bug, but certainly not from doing Rifleman.
It has happened to me in various actions, usually when i'm supposed to be in visual & rifle effective ranges. Roughly in the 60 to mid 70m range, is when a lair disappears. Whether I'm running to the enemy, going prone, taking cover, etc. The lairs sometimes disappears. Sometimes, it disappears while I'm in combat with the NPCs that it spawns.
It happened quite a bit on Dantooine. I thought it was caused by the large grinding population over there. So, I went to nearly unpopulated Talus. I was very suprised to see it happen just as frequently over there.
Player population on a planet it seems is NOT a cause.
My only suggestion is to /bug this thing everytime it happens. Flood these specific reports and pray that this gets noticed and fixed soon.

There's an easy explanation... the lair also goes under cover. It's only fair I guess.

I noticed it happens a lot on largely populated planets, try a more quiet one
