OK, I started fresh for the 12th time last week, fresh install, fresh DLC, and fresh 4mb patch. Everything was working perfectly, including finally being able to send every companion back to the Lucky 28. Well last night I had what I thought was a glitch with ED-E not getting the Followers radio signal, so I deleted the patch. Loaded up the game, still no signal (not knowing about having to go to Hidden Valley first), so I quit, re-downloaded the patch, and now I can no longer send anyone back to the Lucky 38. Tried different saves, no go. Deleted the patch, could send them back. Reinstalled the patch, can't send them anymore.

Any workaround for this? Really do not want to have to restart again for the 13th time.

I have never been able to send people to the 38 and I'm best friends with Mr.House!!!!!!
