Game Crashes right after starting preparing Shaders

[Oreo's dad]

I am not sure if it just me. Starting yesterday, my game crashes every time it start right after the warning and beginning of preparing shaders. It was running fine before that. I tried everything that I can find online and none of them works. Looking for some help!

Try deleting the folder C:\ProgramData\Hogwarts Legacy . This folder contains only shaders, which will be rebuilt the next time the game launches, so it is safe to delete. If the problem is a corrupt shader, then this will fix it. However, there's no guarantee - the problem could be something else entirely.

I have the same problem. Deleting the C:\ProgramData\Hogwarts Legacy folder will not help. The game also crashes into Windows when loading shaders. I'm afraid I'll have to reinstall Windows.

open "run"
Type in: %localappdata%\hogwartslegacy
Navigate to: Saved \ Config \\ WindowsNoEditor

In the "WindowsNoEditor" file, select and delete " GameUserSettings "

Relaunch, leave off ray-tracing, and keep an eye on any changes to the default that cause the crashes to re-occur.

This was my fix, I hope it helps at least some of you, and sorry in advance for anyone who tries and still gets the crash.
