Skyrim crash on Start - Hearthfire DLC

This is just a total guess, but it definitely can't hurt to do -- Transfer licenses to your new console.  It sounds like the Hearthfire DLC was downloaded on your old white xbox, but you're trying to play it on your new one.

.

I'll toss out the link on how to transfer licenses for you:  support.xbox.com/.../download-content

Ah OK, Well I will try this when I get home.

I was kinda hoping I would be able to find a way of fixing it that would allow me to use the DLC at both locations?

As I still play at both.

But I will try this, thank you!

OK I am hesitant to transfer licenses in case it screws it up on my other console (where I will be playing mostly).

I tried to play the game without Hearthfire DLC downloaded, it allows me to "Press Start".. wow.. But once I'm in a game, If i try to travel anywhere it crashes with the "Disc is unreadable" error. Telling me to get a cloth to clean my virtual disc :)

I guess this is as the save game data has Hearthfire items and locations which are missing?

I have deleted and disabled Autosaves with no luck also.

OK I am hesitant to transfer licenses in case it screws it up on my other console (where I will be playing mostly) AND I can only transfer licenses once every 4 months!***

I was advised to try a few bits by a very helpful Xbox Support guy, "Ace", I have now tried to start a NEW game without the DLC installed. (Not using my Save), and it seemed to work.

As soon as I (clear cache, delete update) and THEN download the DLC... try to start Skyrim.. CRASH.

Will report this to Xbox support and see what they say.

Nabz: We will need to isolate the issue on this properly.

Nabz: Because there might be also a possibility that the S console is causing this issue.

Nabz: Here's what I can suggest. Try to download your profile from another console not from the S one you have and not from the other console where youc an play the dlc fine. But from another console.

Nabz: That way, we can check if it would do the same thing.

Nabz: That way, we will know if the issue really is with the dlc or the S console you're trying to play the dlc./

I will try this tonight, IF it works, it eliminates the "License" being the issue.

I know this is LATE, this is just in case people with the same problem as i was having come upon this site. i was searching for an answer for something similar, i was unable to download the dlc, so i deleted  my current update, and then upon trying to download the update again.. it came up with an error code.. i ended up finding my own solution though... So I'm using hughesnet, and being a satellite connection, it sucks.. but i had to disable my web acceleration, and everything is working perfectly now as far as downloading is concerned.
