Forum:Ed-E Glitch is killing me

Ed-E randomly disappeared on me, but was still in my party. He jsut disappeared out of Dead Wing Cavern. I didn't care...until Honest Hearts happened. I can't start the DLC with a follower, and he is considered still with me, but I can't find him. The elevator trick didn't work, and I can't re-load, my last save was over 40 hours ago. I'm lost and annoyed...anything to help? How can I lose my followers?

The same exact thing happened to me. I don't have any add ons, so I dont know how this works, but some people said doing Dead Money will dismiss him. Other than that, theres no way to fix it.Pappy002 23:52, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

But I already did Dead Money....lawd.


 * Have you done the quest ED-E My Love? Maybe if you trigger an audio log / turn him in for improvements, he'll show up. But most likely not... Sorry. :[ ~UntrustedApothecary

That annoyed me as well, but after a few minutes pondering I decided to check the world map for his name, low and behold he had turned up at the Lucky 38, went to him and kicked him from the party. Might not be at the 38 for you but he should still be on your world map were ever he is. Hope this helps. --CiaoGamer 02:15, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

 * Wait, that guys Dead Money thing may work, but you said you'd already beaten it... Maybe if you delete and re-download / re-install the add-on, you may be able to re play the add-on.
 * Doesnt work that way. --Drldrl 02:44, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for everything guys...but I'm just biting the bullet and reloading my 30 hour old save. Not re-doing any quests, just leveling my levels back up and re-finding my equipment. Still like 10 hours of grinding.

You should dismiss him now before it happens again. After it happened to me, I don't use him anymore after I finish ED-E My Love. Better safe than sorry. (Sorry for stomping the $h!t out of the disk in slow motion. Like in Office Space.) Pappy002 07:19, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

→I had the same problem. I was on Black Mountain and having trouble with a Deathclaw. I escaped from the mountain, thinking I would go back later, when I realized ED-E was gone. I tried many things including console commands as mentioned in ED-E pages. I had 30 hours gametime and only old savegames besides quick- and autosave which were overwritten after the incident. I then finished Dead Money knowing that he would return to Primm. The game stated: ED-E has returned to Primm, and I went happy into Dead Money.. but he DIDNT. He is nowhere to see on map and nothing seems to be returning him. Btw I can still access his inventory with commands. But it sucks.. I can't take new members in his space and I cant start Honest Hearts. Think I'm giving up this game possibly starting a new, but I put many hours into it. For the reference my trouble came after I had him fully upgraded. Vapa2609 18:48, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

I play on xbox, so I don't have console commands, or add ons, or patches, the only problems I experienced when it happened to me was I couldn't get Rex or do his mission, I had to pants the guard at Caesars tent with c-4, and i lost whatever he was carrying, it was my legion game, I messed up another legion mission (which there are only a few), I didn't quit, i just bit the bullet, and rushed through and finished. Mainly for the achivements, but still, i didn't wanna start all over or go back and redo 3 or 4 hours of game play. Pappy002 07:01, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
