Skyrim Dragon problem

I have looked around the internet and haven't seen anyone complaining of this so i'd thought to come on here and ask. We have had skyrim since launch and had only minor issues with it (dragon skeletons never leaving). The patch came out last week and now my wife and I have noticed that dragons no longer attack us. They fly up high and never come down as well as my wife has currently been playing a new character for 6 hours and hasn't been able to fight a single dragon yet (outside of the first one in the whiterun quest). They fly over they roar but they never even come in close. I read someone said Bethesda wanted to have dragons that were basically just scenery but come on...6hrs and no dragon fight? I realized that you can enjoy the game without the dragons but without souls you will never be able to max out your shouts past 1. Is anyone else having this problem since the patch or is it just us? If this is a widespread problem any news on a patch for the patch? (To avoid any "what system you playing on" questions i'm posting in an xbox forum so figure it out).

There has been a problem with dragons related to the latest patch, maybe this could be the problem? I suggest waiting for the next patch which should be some point this week or unload this patch and play offline.Anterline

ive encountered (before and after patch) multiple occassions where Dragons fly much higher and wont attack me. A few instances i actually climbed the highest peak to reach the dragon and fought it, other times the dragon flew away ignoring me. I just assumed this was the programming built for their AI, figured they wont always attack or they couldnt see me from such a far distance.

hey, try to clear the xbox 360 cache in the system settings, then see what happens. i have had a few people complain about skyrim issues, but after cache clearing they seem fine

While I have been waiting for the patch to fix the dragons I have been going to the college
off and on there seems to be a dragon every now and then come to think of it
I have kille maybe 7 dragons there lol, is this cheap??

I've no downloaded the patch yet... I have noticed a couple of times where I've killeda Dragon and they not disolved like normal and I've not absorbed any soul... but both these occasions where near a Dragon site where I'd already killed the Dragon before... 28 kills and counting!

I cleared the cache but it didn't help. When it asked to update I said no but it wouldn't let me play my game save since it was saved on a patched version. Honestly we had very minor issues with the game but after the patch it has made it a chore to play. If the game played like it is now when we first got it i'm betting it would have been returned already. As of last night we came across the backwards flying dragon issue only problem was that we couldn't kill it and sadly it was a "quest dragon" for Ulfric Stormcloak. Also now we are getting the frequent freezings during loading screens (never did it prepatch). Its kinda funny in a way that our version of the game ran really good prepatch and now after the patch it is running like what they put the patch out in the first place.wolfbm

is it installed to ur system? if so, then delete and reinstall. if it isn't installed, then try that? otherwise its a waiting game till next patch.

Nope never installed it..but maybe I will per your suggestion. I read last night patch 1.3 was getting it's final testing on 12-5 so maybe we will be getting it soon.wolfbm

gotta keep trying different things
