Clearing Your Shader Cache After Updating NVIDIA Geforce Experience Drivers

[SolaceWB]

If you're experiencing issues launching the game after updating your NVIDIA drivers, we suggest giving these steps a try:

1. We recommend that you first delete the shader cache folder of: C:\ProgramData\Hogwarts Legacy

If this does not fix the issue, please try clearing your GPU Shader Cache. To clear the NVIDIA graphics Shader Cache in Windows, follow these steps:

1. Open the NVIDIA control panel.
   
2. Go to Manage 3D Settings.
   
3. Turn off Shader Cache.
   
4. Save and apply changes.
   
5. Reboot your PC.
   
6. After the PC boots, open the Run dialog box or File Explorer.
   
7. Type the environment variable below into the Run dialog box or the File Explorer address bar and hit Enter.
   
8. At the location, find and open the NVIDIA folder.
   
9. In the folder, find and open both the DXCache and the GLCache folder and delete all the items in the folders.
   
10. Next, go back to the Temp folder.
    
11. Now, at that location, find and open the NVIDIA Corporation folder.
    
12. In the folder, find and open the NV_Cache folder and delete the contents of the folder.
    
13. Exit File Explorer.
    
14. Now, go back to the NVIDIA control panel and turn on Shader Cache.
    
15. Restart your PC.

Alternatively, you can try replacing the Game Ready driver with the Studio driver. If you’re still experiencing the issue after following the steps above, please let us know by replying to this bug site listing: here[hogwartslegacy.bugs.wbgames.com].
