I can't play due to glitches after the March 8th update
A few weeks ago, when I bought the game, it ran with a lot of difficulty, there was this some crazy glitches and stutterings and that makes the heads look like potatoes and I needed a few days to solve it, but I did it! It was using this following video that I managed to solve: https://youtu.be/EuCV9b3zs1w

But all was well, problem solved, and so I played 80 hours of hogwarts legacy, until yesterday!! The March 8th update made my game completely buggy with a lot of stuttering, returning to the graphical problems, in which the textures did not load and several glitches accompanied my character: https://youtu.be/SAY_9PMmqCs

In order to try to resolve it, I reinstalled my video drivers. and for a while my game wouldn't even open, it was forever on the dark loading screen, but after several attempts the game opened. but full of problems and stutterings after pressing start. (as u can see in prints) Please guys give me a direction, i know my pc has enough spec to run it, i played it a lot and with a decent graphics

My game too became extremely glitchy and started stuttering with graphical issues such as unloaded textures after the March 8th update. :steamfacepalm:

yeah man, same here and that's really frustrating. I've tried several resolutions of these problems that I found on the internet, but after the March 8th update NONE OF THEM WORKS.

I've played 80 hours already... enough to get hooked. This is one hell of a prank. :steamfacepalm:

that may be the case for all games that use ue4/frostbiteengine. After a driver update, game update or something, the shaders are regenerated.

the same with callisto protocol, the ascent, etc... and the speed of creating depends on your CPU and hard disk

Ryzen 5800x with 32GB 3600Mhz and a nVme needs about 60 sec


If it STUCK or DIE while creating shaders, make sure, that you can see invisible files in windows and DELETE all files in

C:\ProgramData\Hogwarts Legacy

and all files in

C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Local\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor


So the game can rebuild a FRESH set of shadercache....

Zero issues before update, now I crash to desktop every 15 mins or so. Usually when changing an area.
