What's the issue here? Something is causing the game to hitch and whatever it may be, it's still taking a hit out of the performance of the game. Just because it's an HDD related issue doesn't mean the performance issues get a pass. Until the game gets patched, the only way to alleviate the problem is to invest extra in an SSD, which is still unacceptable as troubleshooting at the moment.

Indeed, want the game to run smoothly on the X1, buy an SSD instead of the stock HDD installed in the console, would be a first for a console to require hardware updates to run a game smoothly (which otherwise runs, not including obvious stuff like eyetoy/ kinect required for games, since things need to be put in clear black and white to not garner a counter thread here).

You don't necessarily need an ssd, an external drive is already showing better performance. Still a shame on Bethesda and most likely will be patched.
