I've got a bit of a problem...

During a gunfight, my companion (Piper) got injured, now normally you can give them a stimpack or they get back up after a short amount of time, however, I was pinned down for some time and wasn't able to use a stim on her immediately, and when I got over to her she was still down - here's the problem... For some reason I can't use a stim on her (just the dialogue options come up) and she won't get up. If I move off and leave her, she'll eventually spawn by me but still be down and I can't heal her, it's the same even if I enter a new area (go through a door that requires a load for example). Is this a glitch? How do I get her back to normal?

Thx.

Try dismissing and rejoining her.

Shoot her, it resets the animation

This approach worked.... though the less powerful weapons didn't work - only thing that worked was the missile launcher, lol, forced a ragdoll animation, then she was back to normal.
