He does very often like to go melee-ranged-melee-ranged especially when trying to find a close hostile. But he's never totally bugged out and stopped attacking.

It's weird that these companion bugs seem to be all across the board... I've never had any problems with Boone. And ED-E, initially, was fine before I started tacking on more and more mods. And he was good up until a month ago or so but I was running a game where I didn't pick up any companions until the very end so it was hard to diagnose what could have started the behavior at that point... But again, even with the mod list I run Boone, Cass, Veronica, Rex and Lily work with no problems. So I'm lost :wallbash:

I searched but didn't find anything useful, here through the intarwebz... In the vanilla game I ran into the issue after handing him to one of the two factions for upgrades, sometimes I could fix it and other times couldn't. Now I've been running 60+ mods for well over a few months and didn't start having problems until my last few games, it seems like ED-E will never attack and will always stop moving entirely when we encounter hostiles. Usually a disable-enable gets him moving but he refuses to attack. Is it possibly something script related? I'm going to try looking in FNVEdit to see if I can find anything but wanted to make a quick post to see if anyone's found a workaround (I've already tried the Vault 22 elevator trick, no dice). All other vanilla companions are fine with no bugs at all, and I don't have any mods that only pertain to ED-E and no other companions. And as in the description, if there's already an ongoing thread for this post a link and I'll lock this (I couldn't find one though). Thanks in advance

@Mephy101: If this was someone serious about utilizing the servers for their own ends they would have covered their tracks. From what was posted regarding details, this is almost definitely some incompetent tool using info he found online to attempt to do some damage for whatever odd-ball reason he/she might have. In general, a client I work for had their SQL server hacked a while back, and much like this instance, he/she was very easily tracked (hosting files in a fake "recycling bin" that stood out like a sore thumb lol). But as far as pursuing legal avenues, you have to realize how expensive that can get... It's a lot easier to harden your defenses and learn how they got in to prevent it from happening again. Just my own experience.

Wow, chill out and read the thread entitled: How To Install Steamworks Games From The Retail Disc I had the same problem until I read that, easy fix. That thread is right here in this section of the forums, no excuse. EDIT: Also, I have my gaming PC offline 99% of the time, I activated the game, unplugged the patch cable and viola, games work just fine.

Yea, seems both DAO and TES Nexus' work, just FO3 is busted :sad: EDIT: lol I just went back and saw the announcement, d/l service is back: Announcement
