Optimised Config Settings

[_Se2_]

In case someone still have problem with stutters and huge fps drops (Hogsmeade or loading new area) i paste here my config that i tested on RTX3050 (60+fps most of the time, 45-60fps in Hogsmeade depending on loading area, no drops to below 45fps and no stutters). I also added few lines to help game load areas while maintaining const fps.
It include fixes to these issues i mentioned and is designed mostly for Nvidia users (DLSS on). If you dont have RTX GPU then change DLSS to FSR. Most settings are High/ultra because it aims to get best looking graphics with as high fps as possible. V_sync is enabled here and fps 60 limit is enabled here, change it if you can get more fps.

the file is located in %appdata% local Hogwarts Legacy and is named GameUserSettings.ini . Remember to save default file copy before you overwrite it if you dont get better fps with this config.

Thank you so much! Completely solved my gpu maxing out and causing 3FPS!

[K1LLA]

I had completely given up on fixing the fps drops, but only your way helped I've tried hundreds of ways and nothing has helped, I just want to thank you

this seems like a bad idea: r.Streaming.LimitPoolSizeToVRAM=1. I'd think that might cause issues with running out of vram depending on texture settings.

Same with r.TextureStreaming=1 as now the system can't stream in/out textures and manage VR RAM usage properly.

Just my .02

These settings slow down texture loading by adjusting to your available vram to reduce stutters because the game tends to load every thing at once or try to reload everything when entering areas.
It just works
