Game no start

[Qure750]

ita:
sono incorso in un errore già riscontrato da altri ma leggermente diverso ovvero il: Couldn't start:
"E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\HogwartsLegacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\HogwartsLegacy.exe" Phoenix CreateProcess() returned 2."

Ho provato a seguire tutte le procedure di base per questi casi:
-dare e togliere l'avvio come amministratore sia a steam che all'esecutivo del gioco
-cancellare la cache di download in steam
-cambiare la cartella di gioco in un'altro ssd
-disinstallare e installare il gioco da zero
-disinstallare e installare steam
-effettuare un istallazione pulita dei driver grafici
-controllo integrità sia di steam che della cartella di gioco

Purtroppo il problema persiste e dopo la pulizia della cache e di controllo integrità ( tutti e 177 i file sono ok) il gioco richiede un aggiornamento che non va a buon fine perché impossibile scrivere su disco.

I encountered an error that someone else seen before but slightly different, here it is:

Couldn't start: "E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\HogwartsLegacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\HogwartsLegacy.exe" Phoenix CreateProcess() returned 2."

I tried following all the basic procedures for these cases:

* Enabling and disabling "Run as administrator" for both Steam and the game executable

* Clearing the download cache in Steam

* Moving the game folder to another SSD

* Uninstalling and reinstalling the game from scratch

* Uninstalling and reinstalling Steam

* Performing a clean installation of the graphics drivers

* Verifying the integrity of both Steam and the game folder

Unfortunately, the problem persists, and after clearing the cache and verifying integrity (all 177 files are ok), the game requires an update that fails because it is unable to write to the disk.

Same issue

[MrVince]

Same issue on both systems. Totally different systems. One intel, other AMD. Tried every possible solution on the internet + YouTube

This particular game has a hard time cooperating with video cards. this was the fix last time i tried. good luck.

Try turning off Hardware Accelerated GPU scheduling in Windows 11. Go to Settings - System - Display - Graphics - Change Default Graphics Settings. Turn off Hardware Accelerated GPU scheduling and restart your computer. Note: This WILL disable frame generation but it seems to stop the crashes

also if that doesnt work, try this

"This appears to be a known issue with alot of Unreal Games. The solution for me was to disable shader caching. To do so navigate to your appdata:

Win+R

enter %appdata%

navigate out of Roaming

and go into Local/Hogwarts Legacy/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor

Open GameUserSettings.ini with your prefered editor or similar (its treated as a .txt file)

Scroll down to [ShaderPipelineCache.CacheFile]

beneath it, add r.ShaderPipelineCache.Enabled = 0

should look like this

\[ShaderPipelineCache.CacheFile\]

LastOpened=Phoenix

r.ShaderPipelineCache.Enabled = 0
save"

I just had same problem and I found that this worked for me.
Right-click Hogwarts Legacy in Steam library > Manage > browse local files. A new window will open with game files, and navigate to Phoenix > Binaries > Win64. Right-click the HogwartsLegacy.exe executable file.
Go to Properties - under the Compatibility Tab > (check) disable Fullscreen Optimizations - make sure Run This Program As Administrator is turned off (unchecked)

It has something to do with game shaders but I dont know anything else other than it works for me now after I disabled Fullscreen Optimizations.

RISOLTO!!!!!!!! Il nuovo aggiornamento è stato visto come un virus dall'antivirus. Ho creato un'eccezione della cartella Steam che contiene il gioco.

SOLVED!!!!!!!! The new update was seen as a virus by the antivirus. I created an exception of the Steam folder that contains the game.
