Whenever I walk I get random slowdowns as though I'm clipping into the ground or encumbered
I've been playing Skyrim Special Edition on Steam for a while now and here. Lately I've noticed my move speed slowing way down while walking.
There seem to be two stages to it (three if you count it not happening at all): at first it's hardly noticeable and I walk at maybe 80-90% speed, then, after playing for a seemingly random amount of time (ranging from a few minutes to hours), it drops without warning to like 10% of the regular speed.
Once a stage has been reached it is continuous and can't be reverted to the original speed.
I move at normal speed in the air while jumping. I'm not encumbered and can fast travel, but this is because I greatly increased my carry weight via console command at the start of the game (using player.modav carryweight 9999
to get it to persist), so I've got around 20,000 carry capacity.
I've tried a number of fixes which didn't solve my issue:
- Saving and reloading
- Saving and quitting and loading
- I tried the recommended console command from a steam thread
player.setav speedmult 100
- I tried testing with
tgm
andtcl
on, both separately and together - I tried the fixes of sprinting and talking to someone, sprinting and sitting in a chair
- I've dumped enough stuff in chests and whatnot to be at around 4,000 of 20,000 carry weight, and it still didn't help.
- I've also tried emptying my inventory of everything but quest items (0 carry weight) and it still persisted.
I'm at my wit's end trying to figure this out.

Update:
It looks like the issue might have to do with my controller as I had an identical issue in another game as well (Killing Floor 2). Will test with a new controller soon and update with the results.
I switched out my controller for a new one that as far as I can tell is physically identical and the issue seems to have passed so I can only assume that it had something to do with that one. Both controllers are Xbox One controllers (will edit with the brand name tomorrow) with a removable micro USB cord to connect to the computer. I used the same cord for both controllers.
