Where has Piper gone?

[Gerfreckle]

So she's been my companion for ages (at least 20 hours) and I've pretty much maxed out how close we are (we're now 'in a relationship'), but she's suddenly disappeared. She was with me one moment (clearing out synths on the roof of a skyscraper) and as soon as I went into the building she was gone. I thought nothing of it at first and so I completed the mission, but when I exited the building she was nowhere to be seen. It's now been close to an hour and she hasn't shown up. I've gone to all the places she might be at (her shop in Diamond City and Sanctuary) but she's nowhere. This has happened once before a few hours earlier and so I went back to an older save and she turned up, but I've now done too much to simply go back to an old save; I'd lose heaps of progress.

Has anyone else had this problem? It's sort of frustrating.

She's cheating on you with that Irish prick at the bar. Go punch his lights out and she will come back soon.

Ah, another solution found via simple Google foo.

Warning, be sure to save more often and save before doing this .
It should work fine though.
Do NOT use it on companions you dismissed to avoid stupid issues. Just
use it to summon one who was with you on a mission and was lost.

Travel to a settlement and she will pop up.

I used the console command to get her back (turns out she was dead, and so her corpse appeared). I ressurected her and I thought all was good, but now she won't move. I can talk to her as normal and tell her to wait, join me, dismiss her, etc, but no matter what she won't follow me. Is there a solution for this?

She prob dumped you for a ghoul.... tough luck man :/

My piper disappeared and when I used the console to bring her close to me she seemed invisible. I have been worried that she was gone for good, BUT I suddenly noticed a D next to her name when trying to bring her back for the 1000th time. So curiously (not very bright with computers.) I typed in resurrect with her the console and bam! she appeared in a chair. Hopefully this will help people. I had tried resetai and tai etc.

If you want to try solving the issue without resorting to consoles, find a different companion and try to take them with you. If it brings up the message asking you to send Piper somewhere, pick a settlement, wait a few days and then go there to find her.

If you want to find her quick and painless, try

Don't use the "placeatme" command since this will just spawn a second Piper.

Check diamond citys mayor office. Depending on where you are in the story it may have placed her there for a quest prompt.
