I did test with the old driver and it crashes, doesn’t with the newer after doing it all the steps. Let's see if that was just an isolated incident. But the game did finally crash in the middle of a loading screen after maybe 15 reloads (I was hunting for a specific kind of Hippogriff). So far I played about an hour and a half after I applied those methods, all was fine, It was a little bit of stutter after teleportation to a new location (apparently textures loading issue), but less than before. After the last update of the game it crashed maybe once every 10 loads. I have to admit I load the game very frequently since I use "save-reload" method to farm rare beasts or when I find a chest to be able to pick what I want from it. My only problem was crashes on load (when I fast travel or load the game) - the game crashed in a middle of a loading screen or just couple of seconds after the game loaded at a new location (my character was able to make 2-3 steps and boom). So far the game runs smoother, the stutter is very rare. I haven't installed the newest driver, since just recently I clean-installed 528.49 (with DDU in safe mode, I do this for years every time I install a new driver). %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor ![]() I also cleared the system cache with Disk Clean-Up utility and edited Engine.ini in Originally posted by Kyrie: Delete the Hogwarts Legacy folder from the Program Data folderI read that the game's shader cache is located here:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\shadercache\990080 NVIDIA driver: 431.29 (non-hot fix build version). OS: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations Version 22H2. RAM: 128GB DDR5 RAM 2x 2TB Kingston KC3000. Not strictly necessary, but if you have 40 series card, see if your vendor has released an updated VBios on their website as some release vbios had very low voltages for idle causing nv driver errors whilst idling.Īfter doing all that, I haven't crashed at all after 2 days of 6+ hours of game-play and no black screen on shader generation or seizure warning screen. Install the driver you just downloaded, select the "Custom (Advanced)" option on the setup screen on the options that follow be SURE to select the checkbox that reads "Perform a Clean Installation" and DO NOT install GeForce Experience (if you want to record use OBS instead).ĩ. Be sure to select in DDU options to block Windows Update from automatically downloading drivers so Windows doesn't install the generic or an outdated driver after reboot.ħ. If you are absolutely sure you have Safe Mode working, launch DDU and make it reboot into Safe Mode and uninstall your current driver (in Safe Mode ofc). Be sure you have tested safe-mode on your PC, if you want to enable it, on the search bar of search for "Advanced Startup Options" and select the result and follow the instructions to enable it (only in case you are not sure you have it enabled).Ħ. Delete DirectX's shader cache from your system (on Windows 11 is on Storage subsection of the Settings app and on Windows 10 is by right clicking your boot drive and selecting "Disk Clean-Up", then clean system files, then select the checkbox for DirectX Shader Cache).ĥ. Download and install DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) from Guru3D's download section, but do not run it yet.Ĥ. Download the 531.29 driver from NVIDIA's website but DO NOT install yet.ģ. After that it is located on C:\Program Data\Hogwarts Legacy.Ģ. ![]() Delete the Hogwarts Legacy folder from the Program Data folder under your user directory it is hidden so you have to make hidden items visible. ![]() The steps are as follows and is important to follow them in this order.ġ. Note albeit this has resolved ALL crashes to me (played 7+ hours straight to test and warped using floo spots to test) it might not all work for all of you and also this only applies to NVIDIA users as I do not have an AMD card to test similar approaches. As someone who had constant crashes after the last update and being fed up waiting for a solution I did the following.
