Can't recruit Inez, never shows up in Milverstreet's office

That's funny. And sad.

Hopefully day one patch will address this issue. If not... will continue without Inez.

According to what I've read online, not having Inez might be game-breaking later on, so I would avoid the route of continuing without her.

Unfortunately the patch today did NOT fix the problem. Inez and Milverstreet still just stand there, and I can't get anything to progress.

Loading an earlier save before I cleared the drones, Inez still isn't in the room. Clear the drones and she immediately shows up, but the exact same problem, she says her piece about him fixing her arm, then there's no way to progress by talking to either NPC.

On the bright side after doing that my game no longer crashes when leaving the Incognito, so that's a plus, but I still cannot play until this is fixed. I assume because I completed Milverstreet's quest before Inez was in the room, and she was supposed to be there for that conversation.

Yes. Same

Can confirm - the hotfix did not fix the Inez bug.

I can also confirm this is happening on XBox Series X, although I had done the drones quest by accident when exploring the island before even visiting Milverstreet the first time. Inez disappeared after the first meeting, Milverstreet said "ignore her" on the quest turn-in even though she wasn't in the room, and I thought it was just a instance of "you'll meet her again later". Now I've done almost the whole island and Milverstreet wouldn't even give me the quest to win Westport, which is where I got looped into this bug. So it doesn't just break Inez... It has broken a whole series of quests.

1.0.4 still didn't fix Inez not showing in the room. Milverstreet is turned as if speaking with someone but no Inez. If I complete his quest, he says "Thanks! Pity you didn't meet my operative" or something.

[Kyana]

Oh wow, does he? Maybe I missed that when I completed the quest. It actually shouldn't be possible to complete it without meeting Inez, she's standing right there. I guess maybe you could choose not to talk to the lady who's been shooting rapitodons standing there lookin' at you and just open the door and finish the quest, but that would be a bit of a stretch.

Inez told me to gotp hell then acted like nothing happened. I took her back and she disappeared right after I got her all setup. She gone

The game is released now, and I still can't play after paying an extra $30 for early access. Sure hope Obsidian patches this.

This is a big deal, because it presents a game breaking glitch towards endgame.  During that portion the game wants you to chat with Inez, but if you failed to recruit (or kill her) here, then you are unable to find her and cannot proceed...

I have fully completed the first planet and I managed to get her to appear, but she is stuck with generic dialogue at this time and I cannot recruit her or continue the minister's quest.

I basically can't proceed in the game till this is fixed

Really? I doubt Inez is necessary, because you can easily miss this character entirely or kill her by accident mistaken for an enemy. I left her on the first planet in that mute dialogue with Milverstreet. Grown tired of waiting for a fix.

Hotfix 1.0.4.1 fixed the problem!

Finally 

I was beginning to think it would take quite more time.

[Kyana]

The patch today fixed this bug. Better late than never!

[Crimson1308]

I’m still stuck with this bug, cannot get Inez to move past being stuck in the room with Milverstreet! I went back to the drone area, disabled the drones just in case… went to speak to Ethel, and Inez appeared in front of me. Followed her back to the town hall, and still nothing. Just the same line of dialogue about Milverstreet being an imbecile! Someone please help!
