Random blurry textures

[Pokemastuh]

After today's patch random textures stay super low res. Like the big double doors or the curved wall on the staircase in the room right before the library (the one with the mermaid statue and dragon on the wall) stay low res and blurry even though the walls right next to them are perfectly fine.

Same issue here, basicallly the entire game is now low res for me and I have most of my settings on ultra or high. I first noticed it when I saw that the badger on the back of my fanatic robes was blurred out. I hope they fix this because its really hard to enjoy the game this way. Also I saw an article about the issue and we aren't the only ones. I think the best fastest fix for the time being is to roll back to the version of the game before the recent patch.

I had to verify my game files and when I loaded back up it was no longer Blurry, but my performance seems a little worse than it use to be. You might try the verify files though.

I did that too but it did nothing.

1. remove engine.ini
2. verify game files
3. Clean the shader cache.
4. If all above doesn't solve the problem, try doing a clean reinstall of your graphics drivers or try the studio drivers.

yeah ignore all vadeN said because it dosen work until the devs come out with a "new" patch we gonna have to enjoy the good old ps1 hagrid textures...

Look...I unironically would love a proper psone mode to take me back to my childhood.

I downgraded to the previous version, and so far it has worked.

Here's the tutorial: https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-downgrade-steam-games/?newsletter_popup=1

Hope this helps.

You can minimize blurry textures by adding this line to your C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\engine.ini:

[SystemSettings]
r.MipMapLodBias=-1

I also suggest the following for general performance and stability:

[SystemSettings]
r.bForceCPUAccessToGPUSkinVerts=True
r.FinishCurrentFrame=0
r.OneFrameThreadLag=1
r.TextureStreaming=1
r.Streaming.PoolSize=4096
r.Streaming.LimitPoolSizeToVRAM=1

If you have a video card with 10gb of VRAM change r.Streaming.PoolSize to 3072.
If you have less VRAM than 10gb set it to half your total in megabytes minus 1000. For example for 8gb VRAM set it to 3000. For 6gb VRAM set to 2000, etc.

You can also add this line:

r.GTSyncType=1

HOWEVER, this will basically just improve interface slightly at the cost of performance so isn't really a performance increase. In my experience, I don't notice the controls being unresponsive so much in this game, and the change this setting makes to that is tiny and not really significant. However, I do notice significantly worse FPS and stuttering with this on, so I recommend leaving it out.

In the same engine.ini file add these lines to the bottom:

[ConsoleVariables]
AllowAsyncRenderThreadUpdates=1

Many suggest also adding these lines below that:

AllowAsyncRenderThreadUpdatesDuringGamethreadUpdates=1
AllowAsyncRenderThreadUpdatesEditor=1

However in my experience this leads to worse performance and instability.

IMPORTANT:

If you are using an addon like Ascendio to automatically set up your engine.ini file, then run this addon BEFORE making the above edits.

Thank you so much for this! My game is once again playable without having to stare at muddy textures on everything.

A couple notes for anyone wanting to try this:
1. You can't use the Steam Console if you have Family View turned on. Steam will not let you access it and won't tell you why. Turn off Family View first.
2. It is a very large download, well over 60GB. It will take some time to complete, and some more time to copy/move the downloaded files to where they need to be.

Thank you, that fixed for me textures in ray-tracing.
It's still crazy to have to go back to an old version to play correctly.

Here is the bug I had with the textures (with rt) :

- The previous version of the game fixes it (v1121649)

The part that bothers me the most is the street signs. I can't turn up everything since there will be stutter, but a mod to upscale the street signs alone would be awesome.

This worked great. Thank you so much for sharing! Smooth as butter now...and textures don't seem to be popping at all.

It was so bad before. Game was basically unplayable.

Any fixes other than reinstaller older game version?
