Anyone else having this problem, because it's a pretty huge one. For some reason, when at the part in the side quest "ED-E, my Love" where Knight Lorenzo of the Brotherhood contacts you over ED-E, when he finishes talking, all player input, aside from crouching and turning is disabled, almost like you're still in a scripted segment. The game's not frozen, as I can still turn and crouch, but I can't move.

No one recruit ED-E besides for trophies.
He is a bug-fest.

Good thing I did not get that far with ED-E.

Last time I had him and Boone something happened where ED-E's antenna and lazer were like two feet above and below its helmet. It looked like ED-E got surprised like in a cartoon, too bad I couldn't take a picture.

After that my active quests were getting too glitchy so I had to start over anyway, some how Victor got killed by Giant Radscopions and teleported to Novac dead. But the problems I had seem to be unrelated to each other since they have been reported before and for different reasons.

Oh yes, I feel your pain. I have been experiencing this glitch over and over trying to find a way around it. Somewhere in my trials ED-E also disappeared, but then would randomly show up and Knight Lorenzo would interupt and ruin everything. I finally thought I had found a way around it in going to the Lucky 38 and going up to the penthouse. Doing this makes your companions go into wait mode. I thought that where ever ED-E was it was just sitting waiting for me. So I kind of forgot about him....until I was transported to the Hoover Dam for the battle. I got there and saved (which I realize now was horribly stupid because it auto-saves anyway) and right as the save finishes, good ol' Knight Lorenzo started talking and I couldn't move. Therefore my save and the auto save were in the same spot and I was stuck with no where to go. My previous save was an hour and a half earlier. Because of how my game's saved I don't think there's anyway around this one now for me aside from a patch.

Yep. Same exact problem. I was lucky though as I had just enough time to dismiss him before the contact happened. Otherwise I would have had to go back to an earlier save that was a couple of hours and levels behind. I still cannot get into Lucky 38 without being fired upon. I REALLY hope they get a patch out soon that fixes all of this mess.

Yeah, I looked it up on the forum because it's driving me crazy. I've been using separate saves because I've been expecting something like this to happen. But I hate being locked out of an entire quest line because of a stupid scripting issue. Plus, without ED-E, I lose the sensors, and have to go back to Rex, who charges in and dies at every battle.

ya over 60+hrs in and ed-e just vanished tryed vault 22 but nothing had to restart as every thing still said he was with me so could not vist either ceaser or house
