after keeping to play after 6 to 7 loading hangs the screen will blank out hanging the game, eventually crashing to the home screen or having to quit out. losing all the progress in the process.

when roaming the map/riding the horse sometimes the loading icon pops up, freezing Eivor in place, yet the camera still can rotate around the player; it even levels out while waiting. after a few (sometimes up to 25) seconds the game just continues.
this has been tested on 3 Xbox one X consoles and one X-series - the latter one loading faster when this occurs
3 different locations/internet connections to rule out any connection glitches.
4 different devices to rule out storage/device issues

occurring side issues after this happens:
save game sync issues
map completely black (just icons)
action wheel blank
selecting call mount - the whistling sound comes too late - mount already arrived.
