My companion just killed 2 brahmins, but i couldnt even loot them. There was no lootwindow appearing at all

Any clues? Thought i would hunt for some brahmin hides to build a tent already. I'm living with permanent fear to lose my companion if anything happens because i don't own a tent.
Edit:
Okay. Looks like the Devs messed up the server with the last serverdown

Looting is back again.
Besides: Anyone know, if mercs/slaves still lvl up like pre-wipe? Got my first lvl up for the companion, and he just gained 2 hp. seems a little low to me.
