Audio Lag help?

[Jane Shepard]

Hey, so I keep getting Audio Lag, like when tryign to trade with Sarah she moves her mouth and a solid 10 Seconds before I actually hear the Audio and can continue the conversation. Anyone else have this Issue or a way to reduce/fix it?

do you have the game loaded on an HDD or an SSD?

HDD as my last SSD crapped out recently. My PC is built for VR and Starfeild is currently the only game I'm havign this severe of a Audio lag... most times it's once per few hours due to big stuff happening... this is just constant

This game needs an SSD, it's in minimum requirements. It runs poorly on HDD from everything I've read and seen on videos.

If your setup allows it, definitely buy an NVMe SSD, which is what you need for Starfield and is even faster than a SATA SSD.

Yes an NVME SSD is recommended, cause certain parts of the game will still stutter a little bit even on them, a normal SSD or HDD is not fast enough

Can also confirm you need a decent SSD for this game. I had it on a slightly slower SSD (difference was 50MB/s) and I got audio stutters / dialogue desyncs. Moving the game to the better SSD solved the problem completely.
