anyone one else suffer with game freezes with the DLC?

i know this belongs in the software issues forums buts its a deader than dead forum and i want some answers now. Basically, if i spend more than 5 mins doing thins in any of the DLC hearthfire house it freezes. And every time i engage in combat as a vampire lord from dawnguard it freezes. Basically, i want to know if this is a univeral issue that they plan to fix or is it just an isolated issue with my xbox some how. So far ive tried to free up space on my hard drive, i have around 15g free. I also cleared the catch and deleted all my old saves. Is there anything else i can do besides not playing the dlc. I have never had this issue with skyrim or with any other game i own in the past but this DLC is simply broken on the xbox.

i've noticed it a lot more after downloading hearthfire but its nothing more than a little irritable for me. happens more if i fast travel more often. but if im just running from place to place w/o fast travel it almost never happens. weird connection but thats it for me.

I thought it might have been freezing a little more, yes. But it hasn't completely crashed. It's just temporarily froze. It's also glitched at one point, the screen turned bright green, then it started running smoothly again. After that, though, my house had stuff inside that I did not build (such as animal mounts), and I have two shouts both called Drain Vitality, although the second seems to have the words and description of the Mark for Dead shout.

the new shout words you aquired are actually dawnguard words not from hearthfire. not part of marked for death shout. though a minor text bug wouldn't surprise me. undoubtedly the next patch will fix some of these new issues.

I havent experienced the sudden color screen, just xbox completely freezing (almost always shortly after a fast travel) fortunately i dont need fast travel as my character has invested in stamina all the way to level 30 and now will invest the rest in magicka. ~400 stamina does make a character somewhat of a marathon runner :P
