Xbox Game freezing on start since 1.6

Game freezes on "Press A to Start" when pressing A (screen freezes, music continues, will not be interactable again unless game is quit and relaunched). Though waiting a few minutes until the music stops, then pressing A, seems to work after try 3-6
version number 6.9, build number 40 (ik it's updated since I was able to get the build number but I've stopped being patient enough to wait half an hour of attempting to get it past "press a to start" just for the new number)
English
single-player
using controller


Another thread marked solved was able to get the issue resolved from clearing the local save data cache and restarting but that has not worked for me. It's at the point where I don't feel inclined to waste half an hour trying to get it to load each time I want to play and will probably just stop playing altogether until this gets fixed. I posted about this a month ago too but the thread was ignored so here goes again
