Ever since I let the Followers upgrade ED-E he occasionally starts making electric, sparkling, static-like noises. It sometimes starts when accessing his inventory, when entering or leaving an area or building, or when fast-traveling. He'll stop if I save and load the file I'm playing on, but often starts again as soon as I do any of the beforementioned actions. It's extremely annoying, and it really makes me not wanting to have him around because the sound really gets on your nerves.

This is my second NV playthrough with the ED-E Followers upgrade, and it happened in both playthroughs. On the ED-E talk page on the wiki I read someone had the same problem, and got this response:

"Yes, I had this problem on pc. If you have pc version you can use geck and remove idle sound effect from edezapgunupgrade."

This obviously doesn't work for me as I play on Xbox, but it may help in finding the cause and, hopefully, the solution.

I would be very grateful if someone knew a way to fix this. I really love having ED-E around but I can't stand this annoying static.


Any tips?



Oh, and in case someone at Obsidian might read this: A patch would be very, very welcome!
