Strange behavior with a horror

[Loren]

I was making yet another attempt to capture a doom horror with the Tartarian chains.

Once again Phoenix Pyre did not trigger.

I tried again with a new seraph. First try, Kurigi (or something like that) showed up--and then vanished before I ever saw him.

Again, this time he (it's the same one) sticks around. He's got a move 10/2 yet I can't move him anywhere. Also, the menu over to the right vanished, all I had was the buildings/sites info.

My understanding is that there is something with the copy protect that takes out UI elements, did my misbehaving horror trigger that? This is a legit copy, bought direct.
