Ever since Day 1 I've been having an issue where the game will freeze for a split second every time I enter/exit combat (Ex: When firing an arrow at a target during sneak mode) and whenever an NPC goes from one voice line to the next during general dialogue and scripted dialogue. I've tried starting a new game and had the same issues. My next step is going to be moving the game to my internal hard drive on my console to see if that makes a difference. Until then I wanted to know if I'm the only one having this issue, or if it's pretty common. I know there is an audio bug currently, but that doesn't seem to be what I'm experiencing. It's very annoying and takes away the immersion for me. Anyway, has anyone experienced this lag?

This is not normal behavior at all.

One of the things about the Special Edition on the XBox ONE is the game is incredibly smooth so this should not be happening.

Are you using MODs?

If you weren't playing from the internal HD before... where was the data stored? External HD or on a USB Dongle type device?

Also have you tried simply Hard Resetting the XBox ONE?

Hold down the Power Button to turn the XBox ONE off manually and keep your finger there as you count to 10 by one thousands (i.e. one thousand one... one thousand two...)

That might be all you need to do.

Let us know how you get on.

Well, that's both good and bad to hear. I'm not using mods at the moment, but I did download a few. I installed everything on an external hard drive when I bough the game digitally. I'll try the hard reset. Thank you. Hopefully I can get it running smoothly as intended.
