First let me say the initial fun I've had doing my Dracula routine has been insane.... its been great.... but it just seems you can't get something beautiful from Bethesda without there being a substantially ugly draw back....

The freezing. The hard full system I've waited two minutes hoping its not frozen freezing.

Uninstalled everything except the save data when patch 1.8 came out. So this isnt a "Water" freeze issue.

This is a "Skyrim turning into a Fallout 3 GOTY edition" freeze fest issue.

My character is a new one created in anticipation for the DLC's level 30... not a big memory file... and the frame rate drops occur most often in Castle Volkihor but have also occured in the Dawnstar DB sanctuary. The freezes have been random, but have occured twice today.... thats more than the past three monthes combined.

If theres anything I can do to help fix this.... please let me know. Otherwise please get this fixed as promptly as it can be.
