I just bought honest hearts and i had the issue with EDE i dont have any saves prior because i lost Ede at a low level i cant really just restart and now i feel like i just wasted ten bucks buying honest hearts :'( worst day ever.

their will be a new patch released before old world blues.

I'm having same problem, and I really hope patch comes out soon. I am hoping for a patch tomorrow or over the weekend, but I am not too optimistic

Yeah they should release it over the weekend.
I know i said it a hundred times but: How hard is it. Are they just so lazy or they just don't care?

Incorrect, There is a lot more into it, Please keep in mind there are more glitches an other problems they are addressing with the E-DE one. So sorry to say you will have to wait as its not that easy. ; /.
