I played the beat the game and got the final ending and never had any problems with frames or stuttering. I bought my XBone 500GB like maybe 6 months after it was released.

just to confirm is anyone having this issue who is OUTSIDE the preview program and also ha anyone tried a factory reset yet ?

Not in the preview program, haven't tried a factory reset. That seems like a pain in the ass! I moved the game from the external to internal HDD, maybe that makes a difference and maybe it doesn't. There's no way to tell anymore.

Did a factory reset yesterday and since I've played the game a little completing one single mission and Mission 13 completely stutter free. Usually playing the game for this amount of time i would've suffered it at least 3-4 times.

It also cleared a problem on my games and apps where I had an extra tile for Shadow Complex.

However when I loaded up Metal Gear it did say that it wouldn't be connecting to its servers so maybe this played a part in the loss of stuttering.

I'll post again if I start suffering from the problem again.

So I've noticed this problem consistently on my xbox one since I started playing the game (finally!!) this past weekend. I haven't been able to pin down an exact time frame or circumstances that would cause it. My xbox is about a year old, game is disc based with install on internal HDD. Same symptoms as others, audio goes first, slight stutter, game lags slightly, Big Boss stops listening to controller input and usually runs in a straight line or in a circle. Duration varies, but for me seems about 3 seconds.

It hasn't been enough a problem yet for me but when I saw this thread, made me think its a bug and not something with my xbox.

another few missions played since the factory reset still no issues (fingers crossed this is a fix!)

Just want to update folks. I just upgraded to the new dashboard today and for the past two hours I haven't experienced any stuttering. I don't know if Konami pushed a new update, but everything is a-okay so far.

I am also on the NXE now. I shall test this as soon as possible and get back with my results.

No issues since the factory reset and now have the NXE and still game running as it should. So if your not in the Preview do a factory rest to get the game running as it should.

@lordcvandingo: I've been having similar issues since I started playing this past weekend. Will a factory reset erase all my games? I pretty much only buy digital so it'd be a pain to download them all again.

@warihay: Yes i believe so although most of mine are on an external drive I only had to reinstall a few. Others here are saying the update cleared it so if your on the preview waiting for the NXE may be worth waiting for that if not though I'd try a factory reset all your saves are in the cloud and everything can be reinstalled obviously its a pain but you can do all of that in the background while playing a fantastic game glitch free.

Just an update: After doing a factory reset and re-downloading everything i have not had any stuttering and ive been able to complete 4 or 5 missions with no issues. Could be that re-downloading MGS V might have had the same effect but that seems slightly less likeyl.

I played this game from the time it came out, until about 3 weeks ago. From the beginning, I noticed an occasional choppiness, with the sound stuttering at the same time as the controls went wonky (the player will continue doing / running continuously) usually just sprinting straight into a group of enemies while I watch helplessly. At first it's not too bad, but when you get into Act 2, forget it. Instead of it happening for 2 seconds, it goes on for 7 or 8. If that's not bad enough, it starts to do it twice in a row for a double dose of aggravation lasting almost 15 seconds. I filled out a ticket with Konami when it started getting real bad in Act 2. They sent back 5 emails over the last 2 months that were identical, stating they were very busy and would get to it as soon as they can. Now today I got another one saying they released a patch recently (The email is below). I'm into Fallout 4 now, and don't feel like going back just yet, so I'm wondering if anyone else who had this problem saw a difference (since the email on 11/18/2015). Here's the last email:

i had a lot of issues with the controls/audio/framerate all bugging out for a few seconds on xbox one since launch. Admittedly i haven't played a ton of MGSV since sept but i did play for about 30 minutes today and didn't experience any of the stutter. Was anyone else also member of the Xbox preview program? i wonder if MGSV didn't play nice with the new dashboard builds and it has since worked its way out.
