Slight framerate stuttering/lag during in-game cutscenes on Xbox One S

I am looking for some guidance for a small issue I have noticed with Quantum Break. Before I describe the issue, I'll lay out some quick details. I am playing on an Xbox One S using a Samsung KS8000 tv, which is set to Gaming Mode. The game, which I purchased
digitally, is installed on a WD MyPassport USB 3.0 external HDD. In the Xbox One S options, the display is set to 4K UHD, 10-bit color depth, and Standard color space.

I started playing Quantum Break on November 4, 2017. In the initial in-game cutscene to Act 1, I noticed some slight framerate stuttering/lag. The framerate stutters/lag last about a second, and certain places it seemed to happen more than others. Some places
I noticed it could happen were when the tanker crashed into the bridge, the countermeasure flying in the air, the camera panned away from the Monarch Solutions Tower, and as the camera panned over the University. But honestly, after testing that cutscene a
lot of times, I've seen the game stutter in a lot of different parts of it... although it's not always in the same place. Maybe about 2-3 stutters usually happen in that intro cutscene?

After playing for about 15 hours of playing the game, I've noticed almost all of the in-game cutscenes have experienced some slight framerate stuttering/lag. I wish I could say if stutter or lag are even really the right terms, but I'm technically not sure.
This seems like a small thing to complain about as most of the time, the in-game cutscenes are as smooth as butter. But the in-game cutscene framerate does stutter/lag in certain places from time to time where it is definitely noticeable. The gameplay part
of the game is smooth as butter.

I have searched Youtube for Xbox One specific gameplay videos that show the in-game cutscenes, yet known of the videos (if they are actually being played on Xbox One) seem to show what I am experiencing in my game. Interestingly enough, the Xbox One X patch
for the game was released around November 2, 2017... which was a couple of days before I started playing. Could it be that the non-X version of the game received a patch of some sort that introduced this weird in-game cutscene anomaly?

I have tried adjusting all kinds of settings, such as setting the Xbox One display to 720p or 1080p (instead of 4K UHD), and going from 10-bit color depth to 8-bit color depth. These changes didn't seem to do anything. I also went to the extremes and uninstalled
Quantum Break from my external HDD and re downloaded it to the internal 1TB HDD. That did not change anything. I also tried clearing the system cache by powering off the Xbox One S and unplugging the power cord from the back of the unit for over 5 minutes.
That also doesn't seem to have changed anything.

So, I am kind of at a loss here. I'm hoping maybe somewhere here can provide some insight as to what I am experiencing. I have put countless hours into other games, such as Gears 4, Halo 4, The Division, Wolfenstein New Order, and Wolfenstein Old Blood, and
have not seen anything similar in these game. This is certainly not a game breaking issue. The game plays fine, the in-game cutscenes are usually perfect, and the live-action segments are perfect. But the 2-3 stutters that can happen during an in-game cutscene
can be noticeable, so it be nice to know if there is anything sure-fire solution to resolving the issue.

Graphically problems

Wow, that was weird. I'd post that to CDPR on Twitter and see what they say. I haven't had any graphical issues. Just slight stuttering in the opening cutscene and audio breakups here and there.

 

Re-downloaded SC and SCII: HD Online on my X1...

And it is just bringing back so many memories of how they butchered both games.

SC1 was developed during the early era of XBOX LIVE Arcade where there were size restrictions (like 256MB or something stupid) so they ended up cutting out the entire single player and even the introductory cutscene (which wasn't FMV; it was in-game) along with other things. A travesty.

Then SCII. It faired better. At least it was widescreen. But it has weird frame rate stutters on one level and the CGI cutscene itself kind of lags. And they completely removed the Japanese voice acting. What. The. Fuck.

 

Hi!

It's no doubt interesting what's going on. Did you download the 4k assets or use the original ones? Is the TV set with "game mode"? In many cases, with a "cinema/movie mode" setting, you may see some defect in images or dithering.

 

Thanks for the reply.

I have no idea if the game downloaded any 4K assets... I am playing on an Xbox One S and have the system set to auto update. I believe the install file for the game is 47gb, while the Episodes are another 75gb. The TV is set to game mode, but I don't think
what I am experiencing is dithering/tearing/or any other defects. It looks like during the in game videos (not actual gameplay and not the episodes), the game will at random points struggle to maintain the frame rate, with the effect looking like the game
has temporarily slowed down/lagged for a second or so. It doesn't necessarily happen at the same points in any one video... almost seems more random, with it happening may 2-3 times, on average.... depends how long the videos are. Sometimes it doesn't appear
to happen.

Other thing I noticed is when I was reloaded a couple levels last time, the game would show the loading screen. Then the in-game video would start playing, as expected. Then all of sudden, the screen went back to white loading screen while still playing
the audio... and then finally switched back to the video and into gameplay. Happened maybe twice last night. Not sure if that is at all connected to my original post of not. Like I said, that only happened twice last night... never noticed that when I first
started the game earlier in the month.
