What stuff is going wrong for you in dawnguard?

1. Navigation in several ways. Clairvoyance is all messed up. It's pointed me to empty places in the middle of forests behind a fort while what I needed was in a room inside. Quest arrows point to doors that don't lead to goals and pointed me to a cave while the goal was in a dwemer ruin.

2. If I enter fort dawnguard at night everyone is hostile and tries to kill me.

If i use vampire grip on someone then kill them before they stand up, their corpse stands up and starts walking in place. Not so much a glitch but you cant fit through most doorways in vampire lord form.
Also, was able to use Bats in human form once.

Reverting to normal form from vamp lord puts on the wrong gear. I keep my "poisoner" attire and my "real suit" on my at all times (total weight combined being about 5) and when I vamp lord in my real set it puts me back in half my real set and half my poisoner set.

Oh and my custom waypoint markers didn't always register where I'd have expected in a certain "forgotten" place. Like I placed it to the west of my indicated position and it would appear to my south east when the map is closed and I'm trying to find my way.

Not sure if it's really a bug or not, but my vamp lord seems to benefit from some of my normal form's buffs. Like I seem to retain my spell absorption effects as a vamp lord (meaning no gargoyle minion as it and any summon (non-zombie) will be absorbed).

Thats odd, cause i keep a combat suit (full dragonscale) and my stealth suit (nightingale) and when i shift back im wearing all of what i was before. Are they all named the same thing? (like 2 sets of leather armor none of them renamed, just different enchantments)

basically a set enchanted and named [Wastewander <insert word>] and a set named [Poisoner <insert word>] and it will equip the wastewander set with my poisoner ring instead of all wastewander like I normally wear. They're mostly random stuff I had that could take the enchants.

In the Vampire Castle, on the two tables in the main hall are two Human Cattle (or whatever they're called in-game, I can't check right now). You can't do anything to them, except talk to them, which just makes them moan for a few seconds. If you keep spamming the talk button, the moaning sound will start over again, without the stopping first. What happens is the sound file keeps playing on top of itself for as many times as you click talk, which can get very loud.

I just read the elder scroll in the ancestor glade and the gate to the outside closed and won't open..... is this a glitch or am I missing something.

It seems trying to enter Jorrvaskr will cause the game to enter a state of endless loading. You'll still be able to do everything but it will never load

In combat the game constantly freezes on me since I've downloaded dawnguard.

I had the same problem. You have to go to the Nord burial ruins to the South of the cave and follow a path past the tower just outside the entrance to the ruins. The path should lead up the hill past some Frost Trolls and into the Dwemer ruins. The ruins lead to the cave, so the quest marker is placed in the cave.

I started a new game and instead of saaving me alduin circled overhead for five min, then I had to go through the entire opening sequence but it all worked out.

did you read it in the beam of light? you can't just read it anywhere

I noticed on my assasin, all potions I make have the .05 weight. Is it just me? That was one of the benefits of alchemy I liked, healing potions that only weighed .01.

potions in skyrim weigh .5 always.

In previous games it was based on the weight of the ingredients used and often .1-.5 was the norm (unless you tried mixing cheese wheels with watermelons or something...)

My shield charge doesn't do anything anymore. Has this happened to anyone else?

Edit: It works now. Maybe it was the shield I was using or just a temporary problem.

one time activating vamp lord caused my character to rise up to an altitude about even with the location where you chat with meridia and plummet to my death. was really weird.

I loaded my male vampire's save from my females and he looked like a mix btween the two he had both hairs and his face was a mix of both. The same happened on the reverse.

This was fixed by loading a non vampire save first.

ugh, just got a reminder to save often. Finish up a dawnguard quest to slay a radiant vampire and return to them trying to kill me.

edit:

Got the Rescue quest for the Dawnguard, and i had to kill the vampire in a Silver Hand dungeon (cause im a werewolf). I entered the dungeon and almost immediately i got the "Completed:Kill the Master Vampire"
on my screen and simply had to find my friend to rescue him. Turns out the Silver Hand killed the vamp upon spawning.

Dexion is hostile to me and everyone even after we saved him... I have to reload a save that was before I even started Dawnguard. About an hour and a half lost.

Well he is supposed to be hostile once you drop the barrier, you fight him then he snaps out of it.

I live at 2 houses in real life, and therefore 2 xboxs. When I used my dawnguard-updated hard drive on my other xbox, not the one I downloaded it on originally, my non-live accounts can no longer access the content, and when attempting to use them a message appears saying that the content is there, but it can't be accessed. I have no idea how to fix this.
