I'm guessing this is a bug. Unless anyone knows differently.

This has started since i installed dawnguard. When vampires and necromancers raise dead bodies,they are invinsible for a certain amount of time....you can do no damage to them at all. It does sort itself out eventually.But surely it's not right. Sometimes hits do not register on vampires themselves too. I'm wondering if the vampires have the last light armour perk active or something (deft movement).

I also get random crashes and sometimes I get attacked by irileth for no reason. Same thing happened when i first entered solitude. Captain aldis and the guard near him attacked me and roggvir....roggvir actually got up and ran.Then they attacked him ,then me. I had to reload twice and stand further back.Everything was fine after that. I had no bounty nor did i do any crimes whatsoever.

Bug type: General
Bug: While going to do the quest "Discerning the Transmundane" I attempted to transform into a vampire lord a little distance away from the college. Once the transformation started, I started "teleporting" all over the place, and when I was transformed I was glitched inside of a glacier. I was able to get out of the glacier by gliding out.
Additional Notes: I am playing as a khajiit.

Bug type: general
The summon Durnehviir shout will only say the first word and he can't be summoned.(was looking at the ground.)

Bug type: general
I have the drain vitality shout listed three times in the menu, the normal shout and two others that have a 10 second recharge time and no words are spoken when used, no dragon souls were used to unlock these shouts but I could use them anyway.

upon entering Castle Volkihar the game crashes during the loading screen

Bug type: Gameplay Bug

The Aetherial Staff's Dwarven Spiders are not affected by fortify conjuration potions.

I've actually found that I was wearing 2 necklaces and 2 rings when transforming back from a vampire lord. The Nightingales invisibility-while-sneaking power can be made a permanent condition using the vampire lord transformation, too, it seems... but other people verifying this will be cool.

Wow! there sure are a lot of bugs than I myself thought.

I do hope Bethesda will patch and update the DLC.

Bug type: Quest bug

Quest: Scroll Scouting

Description: I never got this quest, as in it NEVER popped up in my quest log. I completed the previous quest (Prophet) and went through the soul cairn and got the blood scroll. However I gave the dragon scroll to the Orc in the college of Winterhold when I completed the main quest awhile ago. I've talked to him and there's NO option to buy it back. I sided with the Dawnguard faction. I'm essentially blocked from Dawnguards main quest. There's not even a quest in my quest book called "Scroll Scouting" and I've talked to everyone and it is just bugged. Anyone have something similar? Haven't seen this anywhere.

My vampire character sometimes gets stuck crouching but the game treats it like regular walking...which means no sneak bonuses, slow movement. Changing into a Vampire Lord and then reverting usually fixes this.

I too have this problem. The arrow is over an area on the floor. I have uninstalled dawnguard and reinstalled and I've also 'waited' over 30 days.. the mobs respawn but it isn't on any mob and the arrow is still over the 'floor'.

werewolves dont last longer then 2 mins after transforming

Since downloading Dawnguard, I get random RROD (left side only) when playing Skyrim. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the crashes, either. Sometimes I'll just be walking around and it'll happen. Sometimes after I enter a house or other building, sometimes in the middle of a conversation.

It happened when I first entered Riften. It happened to me 2-3 times when I met with the lady in the Ratway who can change your appearance. It happened randomly as I was traveling through the mountains.

My wife has the same problem, as do my kids.

Some Xbox related forums say the left-side RROD can be from overheating, but it only happens with Skyrim. My son was playing Halo Reach for several hours and not one RROD. 5 minutes or less into Skyrim and it crashes.

Never had any major issues with Skyrim before this, outside of a random freeze-up on a loading screen once in awhile.

What is going on with your game is exactly what happened with mine, only it happened to just after the second quest and being thrown out of Castle Volkihar. Hopefully when/if they patch it soon the quests will immediately pop up.

QUEST BUG MAKES DAWNGUARD DLC UNPLAYABLE, THIS BUG IS AS BAD AS JEFFERSON MEMORIAL BUG IN FALLOUT 3
"WHEN RECRUITING GUNMAR THERE IS NO BEAR IN THE CAVE IF YOU ALREADY CLEARED THE CAVE FOR AELA DURING THE COMPANION QUEST. THIS IS TOTAL CRAP !!! I CAN"T ADVANCE THE STORY NOW AT ALL...

BETHESDA WHATS THE POINT OF A BETA IF YOU CAN'T FIX THE BUGS!!!

just curious is it crovangr cave (the one with the spiders)? i have had this problem from day one of the dlc and have yet to find a solution. it is pissing me off. there is no bear and i cant do [censored] in this dlc now.

Vampire Lord minor bug -

If the player has the "Blessing of Kynareth" (+25 stam), when changing form to the Vampire Lord the players stamina will regenerate in daylight. As soon as the blessing has word off stamina regen no longer occurs in daylight.

Looks to me like the blessing is getting added at the wrong point in the stamina calcs and therefor is over-riding the vampire effects.

This error was reported to Bethesda Support staff, I'm awaiting for resolve (if any)

Results of that response: No change
I have also restarted my Xbox, deleted DLC, Restored a past save, reinstalled DLC.. and no luck in any order I do this. Basically if this glitch happens your vampire lord career on this game can not be completed.

Great now more things going wrong.. After rescuing Thorald Gray-Mane.. I can't get rid of him, went to check point .. and nothing he is following me everywhere.. I can't finish this quest either "Missing in Action"

I have a couple things to report. I do not know how to use spoiler tags, so please be forwarned that I am going to talk about some quest specific stuff, if that is even pertinent for this forum.


Bug #1: During the main quest, I chose to side with the Dawnguard and was a werewolf. When it came time for the Soul Cairn, I let Serana turn me into a VL to go inside. Having since wrapped everything up, I cured the vampirism and went back to a wolf. Later, I wanted to go back in, but I was unable to, so I had to change back into a VL to re-enter. Is this a bug? When I found Valerica inside she said she would leave and told me I should be able to re-enter whenever I wanted, but didn't say I needed to be a VL to do so.

Bug #2: I exited the SC and got the Vampirism cured again and went to get my werewolf back, but I was unable to do so. Is that supposed to be a one time thing for getting back or not? I thought Aela would function like Serana and let me get it back as much as needed.

Bug #3: While fighting a Blood Dragon outside of Valtheim Keep, the message, "Your powers recede after feeding" or something like that, appeared and then I got another message telling me my blood boiled in the sun. I finished killing the dragon and checked my stats and found that I had regular vampirism. I thought that was removed after installing Dawnguard? And also, I shouldn't have acquired vampirism if I never had the disease! To be absolutely clear, I was NOT a vampire at the time this happened, however, this event occured after all of the stuff described above. I went to Morthal to Falion to be cured, but he didn't register me as having vampirism. I had Serana bite me again, and got it cleared off of me as before and so far it hasn't returned.

Bug #4: After I was turned into a VL to enter the Soul Cairn, I remained one until the end of the Dawnguard quest (where I had to be cured to talk to Isran and initiate the assault). During this period, I would receive messages saying, "You have consumed a heart, Werewolf perk progress increased". Obviously, I was NOT a werewolf and so should not have received that message. The same can be said of when I was cured of vampirism and regained my lycanthropy. I received messages for the VL perk increase that I should not have been getting. For the entirety of this time, my "days as a werewolf" statistic continued to increase, despite whether I was one or note. This bug has been already reported, but for the record it annoys the heck out of me.


I have tried to convince myself that the bugs I knew of weren't that bad yet, but the ones I'm running into now are starting to get ugly. Hopefully Bethesda can come out with a comprehensive fix!

The weapon rack in your dawnguard room is bugged. Not only can the crossbow that's placed on it not be removed, but it will either "eat up" or just drop any weapons you place on it.

EDIT: I'm gonna add to this:

The Dawnguard Rune Hammer will disappear if it is dropped or placed on any plaque, weapon rack, or display case. The Dwarven crossbow will not disappear, but it will not properly clip into any plaque, rack, or case. (The aforementioned weapon rack is still glitched)

Bug type: Daedric Questline Bug
Bug: A Daedra's Best Friend - Barbas is nowhere to be found to trigger the quest.
Additional Notes: Attempted to trigger the quest with 2 of my own characters, and 2 of my friends have told me they have the same problem.

Bug type: Daedric Questline Bug
Bug: A Night to Remember - Sam Guevenne never shows up to trigger the quest.
Additional Notes: Same as above.

I am aware that these may not look like Dawnguard related bugs, but the three of us have never encountered problems with these quests pre-dawnguard.

Edit: We tried deleting Dawnguard to see what would happen. Both quests magically worked. For me, I had saved in an inn before I deleted Dawnguard. When I loaded my save, Sam was literally loaded in front of my eyes like he used Recall.

Edit 2: Upon reinstalling the dlc, one of my friends told me that Barbas magically vanished. I can't confirm this for myself, since I still can't find the [censored] dog.

These bugs seem to be coming from switching back between werewolf and vampire... I'll just link your post as there is way to much here for me to write down. You didn't have to become a vampire lord to enter the SC, I believe, you just had to trap part of your soul there which may explain why you can only enter now as a vampire lord.



The question is, did you check to make sure this isn't a controller issue, and does this only happen to vampire characters?


Um how long are they suppose to last without feeding?

All other bugs added.

Sanguine Rose does not always work, sometimes you get the summon orb and hear the guy, but he desummons immediately.


Not a controller issue, it happens sometimes after turning back. I think I've connected it specifically to turning while you were sneaking.

I had the same thing last night Aureus5 with the crouch sticking. The crouch toggle just stopped working completely with my character in crouch mode but without the sneak eye. I just reloaded the game and it resolved itself. Very annoying however. Absolutely not a controller problem, definately a game bug.

It is a vampire issue, yes. Not Dawnguard only, but it ruins trying to play as a vampire, which is half the DLC. So think it is worth mentioning in the list.

Also you misuse 'too' a lot, when you should be using 'to'. Not trying to be an ass or anything.

Um I know the difference between too an to, if you talking about in the bug list, it was either a typo or it was because a I am copying and pasting the bugs reported. I try to make sure everything is correct but it's hard when I am adding many bugs at one time.

Will add these bugs soon guys, on my phone right now. Thanks.
