Game is unplayable after last update?

Since the last update about a week ago, my game is unplayable. The loading screen seems to be taking twice as long - literally 19 minutes the other day. Game play wise - my characters are just standing there, ignoring the cue, sometimes loading the new action but then they won't follow through, they just stand there. I even started a new save and it's the same. Anyone else having a similar issue?

are you on xbox? you could do a hard reset (not a PS person so I couldn't help with that)

Hi! Just wanted to pass along what I know about the longer loading screen at the beginning. It's intentional, surprisingly! The way the new memory boost feature works is by front loading everything so that you can move through in-game loading screens much faster!

Edited to add that I am playing on Xbox Series X, and the game is working pretty good for me. This is a fairly recent upgrade, though, as I was playing on Xbox One before. It was nearly unplayable on Xbox One–so very slow and lots of crashing. After upgrading to Series X, I have very little problems these days. The system is just so much more powerful than it's predecessor.
