So, anybody try the game out with the new 64Gb patch that just came out? It was a great game and I wonder what the patch fixes and adds to the game now since I did not know that they even were going to put another patch out for it.

This ruined the game for me. Graphics look completely washed out (RT on or off) and I am getting crash to desktop in 1-10 minutes on 3 different machines in my house.
I played 3 different playthroughs to 100% without a single crash, and now the game is completely unplayable.

The Graphics look washed out for me all the time but I haven't wanted to look for lighting mods to fix it yet. Did you install a mod to fix that a while ago that the update broke?

FWIW I've played for a few hours on 2 different machines (Intel/Nvidia and all AMD) with no incident.

The only mod I did was removing the fog/haze which did a lot to give the colors more "depth" and just made it look a lot better overall. Its just an .ini tweak.


no other mods done. I did an uninstall/reinstall on my main 13th gen rig, but didnt check to see if the .ini mod stuck or not. I could try removing it and test again.

My crashes were on 10th, 12th, and 13th gen Intel stuff, all Nvidia 30/40 series GPUs.
I tried to underclock my 13th gen/turn off XMP, etc. Nothing solved it.

If you waited 4-5 minutes and it was still black screened, first thing I'd do is disable the Nvidia overlay. If that does not work some reported that disabling shader caching fixed it -

  • Win+R
  • enter %appdata%
  • navigate out of Roaming
  • and go into Local/Hogwarts Legacy/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor
  • Open GameUserSettings.ini with your prefered editor or similar (its treated as a .txt file)
  • Scroll down to [ShaderPipelineCache.CacheFile]
  • beneath it, add r.ShaderPipelineCache.Enabled = 0
  • should look like this

Code:
\[ShaderPipelineCache.CacheFile\]

      LastOpened=Phoenix

      r.ShaderPipelineCache.Enabled = 0

You're not wrong. It's more to see if it gets the game working. Can go back and enable it afterwards. Disabling the overlay works for some, hopefully it works for homie here.
