Couldn't have said it better. I'm seeing the same thing. I sure hope this is fixed soon. I'd be lying if I said I haven't been losing faith in Bethesda.....

I have to admit fellas, right before my drunken-n-high buzz goes on: DG is running rather great for me. Besides some framerate issues at CV & Fort DG, my Skyrim is running as usual. And since I chose to eradicate the dirty vamps, the former is not an issue whatsoever.

I don't know what Bethesda did to harness such great performance for me, but it's certainly working. I have always deemed myself fortunate to enjoy such a pleasurable Skyrim experience. But now that even the dreadful DG is installed, Skyrim continues to run A-ok.

No major crashes or bugs
Limited lag (The Rift has always been somewhat bothersome)
DB plays flawlessly
I've reported some HF issues in its proper forum
Save/load times have increased by 2-4 secs
If anything, I've seen the "infinite load bug" a little more often than usual

I've been playing this game since release & it has always played well. I have never even ran into the Blood on the Ice bug, or any other catastrophic disaster. Take it from me folks, Skyrim CAN run quite nicely on PS3. I say this after over a year of play.

Current playthrough; pure mage:

12MB file
Level 26
250GB PS3 Slim
Over 105GB of free HDD space

HMM my friend stated she locked up on the bridge, but all he had to do was talk with her and she contiued up to the gate.

From what I've seen, I think I'm going to at least wait on Dawnguard... it'll probably be on sale again at some point. With HF and DB, I've started to notice some bugs and crashes in certain areas, and from the sound of things DG makes it worse. So maybe I'll wait until I'm tired enough of Skyrim that I won't care if everything goes to hell, then I'll download DG and take my chances.

Internet glitch. Sorry, didn't mean to double post.

Yeah I cleared both of those by the 50 hour mark, so that's not an option. It's just wierd that every other radient quest works properly and send me to different locations if i reload and do them over again just not that particular one

My bug is this; The Crescent Moon Crest is not appearing during quest Chasing Echoes. I found the other two crests, but after looking up where the crescent moon is spose to be and looking for it in my game I came to the conclusion its just not there for me. Cant load an earlier save for this character so I guess theres no advancing in the main quest for my char until i get that crest.
Thankfully im already a Vampire Lord and can leave and travel still.

Signed up just to express my frustration for a bug I've encountered in Dawnguard.

Been playing this game since release, platted it within the first 2 weeks of getting it. Haven't encountered a single bug or glitch (honestly) in that time. Then, I got both Dragonborn and Hearthfire, again, no glitches throughout both playthroughs of the DLC. But as soon I download Dawnguard, weird stuff's been happening (17mb save files, dragon bodies everywhere, etc.) and now I'm playing through the main quest line. I'm on Touching the Sky, and as soon as I try to enter the Inner Sanctum to fight Vyrnyth (or however you spell his name) the game freezes. I've tried reloading multiple game saves and deleting the patch data and redownloading it and the DLC, but nothing is working

Any thoughts on what I could do for my next move?

150 hrs
level 75
160gb slim ps3
17mb save file

Its on the other side.... Just do a full circle around the area.. Go slow and you will find it.

hi guys! I ve bought all dlc on ps3 for Skyrim and i started my dawnguard quests 2 days ago. I have a serious problem. I found the monk and i told him to meet Isran at tha dawnguard castle.I go there and when i go inside the monk attacks me.When his life goes down i speak to him and when i give him the scroll he stucks and the quest stops because he is busy. I step out of the castle and i got in immediatelly and with the scroll in his hands he attacks me again.I shot him with my bow and when his life goes down he reads the scroll.After this he stuck and he is "busy" so i cannot talk to him to continue the quest. My ps3 is the "phat" 80gb model and i have uninstalled and reinstalled game and patches but the problem persists....I see many other people having the same problem in other versions. Is there any solution?

This is my exact problem. Anyone found a solution yet?

This has been reported on another topic and yes. Dont stand next to him, make sure you have some distance between him and you or a object from what I have read.

yeah i think standing on the other side of 1 of the tables from Harkon can help

After completing touching the sky... Kindred judgement will not start. I've tried everything from reloading to uninstalling.. I just can't seem to get it to start, but the funny thing Is all my other characters that have competed everything else pre-Dawnguard work just fine.. Is there a solution to fix this ?

I'll test it out when I get bach from school, could you possible direct me to a link where you saw this solution?

My problem since I installed Dawnguard is my character keeps glitching and walking instead of jogging as if he's carrying too much weight, but I've dropped everything except my clothes and my sword and it still happens, I got on my horse and my horse glitches the same damn way. Even sometimes in the midst of jogging he stops and starts walking really slow. At first I thought it was my controller, but I switched and the same thing keeps happening. Is there a fix? Has anyone else had this problem?

It's really, really annoying and it makes me want to throw my controller across the room in rage.

sorry pal, youre in the frong subforum....

All I know is this is where I got linked to mention it.

youre on xbox and this is the ps3 subforum... who linked you here? anyhow if youre certain its not your controller, or the controller port (!) thats damaged somehow, try making a new save (into a whole new slot, dont overwrite!), quit the game, turn off your xbox, load up some other game and quit that right after. Then start Skyrim once again, and load up the save file you had made, see if the issue persists.. if yes, you may also try to re install Dawnguard (if after that the problem appeared that is the most likely cause of this that some files downloaded wrong for any reason..)

Bah.. some annoyances.

level 33, 50 hours, 9.2mb save file, pretty clean quest log

1. Couldn't speak with any guards in Dragon Bridge. I had a 1000 bounty in Haafingar and all they would say is "Hey, I know you." Nobody would arrest me (there or anywhere else around Solitude). I tried lots of stuff but just punching a guard and paying my bounty off is what finally worked.

2. Froze up when freeing the Moth priest last pm. I was playing for about 45 minutes. Sound effects looping, screen frozen and PS3 accepting no input (PS button). Ejected disc and the PS3 reset itself after a couple minutes.

3. Shortly after returning to the castle had about 1 minute of a powerpoint presentation.

I took a nap in one of the coffins inside Castle V, and several (4 or so) other vampires were getting up at the same time, then Serena was trying to talk to me. I did not see any 'autosaving' indication - I did look for it - and with so many vamps waking and the storyline progressing I figured there were too many scripts starting up or something.

I waited for a couple minutes and then continued playing without problems for a couple more hours.

Whenever I shoot Bloodcursed Arrows at the sun, nothing happens. I know I'm definitely shooting them at the sun, but it doesn't do what it's supposed to do. Is there anything I can do about this? I want the trophy xD

As for the nr.1, do you by any chance are in the Thieves Guild, or when you got that bounty, did you Bribe the guard that tried to arrest you? The same thing happened to me in Windhelm, i stole something by accident and got a small bounty, and when a guard came to arrest me, i used the speech option "Im with the Thieve's Guild, how about you look the other way" and after that the bounty remains (that's no glitch, its intended that way) and all other Winterhold guards also keep saying the line "Hey i know you!" but wont arrest me. So yeah, thats the cause of that, not a glitch (i think lol)

As for the other 2 issues, they are some kind of scripts causing those issues (however, if you still cant free the Moth Priest, youll need to look up a fix for that)

#1. Makes perfect sense, but this toon is not a member of the thieves guild.

I was thinking I might have pulled the 'thane' card on a guard at some point. Either way, it was an easy fix.

#2,3 are resolved now. I just had the one freeze and moment of FPS issues, no troubles since.

yeah i guess the thane card, Or the speech skilltree perk "Bribe" option will result in the same way

Cannot get the "Come with me" dialog option with Serana anymore.

This happened after revisiting the Soul Cairn, and telling Valerica that Harkon is dead, and we all met back in Valerica's lab. When Serana and I went out to the balcony, I dismissed her and went back to Lakeview.
The next time I went to Fort Dawnguard, and every time since, she only offers me 2 lines of dialog, not the 3rd "Come with me."
