Please help....

[twoeagleslegacy]

I had hogwarts legacy working with over 1,000 hrs between my family. But when the evil blue screen of death bug occurred it messed yo my gaming pc. It took 3 hours to boot it up. So, I formatted my drive, and restored everything from scratch. I had Hogwart's Legacy working fine before. But I can't remember all the tweaks that I did. Now, It crashes after the Warning message, or at the preparing shaders screen.

I went online, and followed several videos on anything from deleting the save folder, to changing items in the appdata file. I had even installed nexus mods on fixing stutter, graphics etc. But nothing seems to work. All my drivers are up to date.

Windows 10
MSI 970 Gaming G Series Motherboard
AMD Radeon RX 580 8 gig Graphics card.

The game ran beautifully before the last crash and updates. Any step by step help would be great. I know there are other complaints, but for example under Display and Graphic settings I don't have GPU Acceleration at all listed. So, I really don't know what the deal it. I have spent 3 days trying to get the game to work.

Does that happen when you start a new game or only when loading saves?

[s0t3lg]

did you verify the game files? also it might be a hardware problem not a software problem.

[twoeagleslegacy]

It doesn't get that far. The best I got it to run was putting it in compatibility mode on Windows Vista. But after 2 hours it crashes when showing the preparing shaders screen. This was from a clean install of my whole pc, but it's the same machine that I played it before on.

[twoeagleslegacy]

Yes I verified the integrity of the game files, and I even did an uninstall and reinstall. I have 16 gigs of ram, and all the drivers are updated. This machine ran it fine before the last windows update. And yes I reinstalled the update graphics software.

Your hardware is already quite old. Perhaps it is simply defective. Your hard disk could be faulty, the CPU could be overheating due to dried out thermal paste, there are 1000 possibilities.

[twoeagleslegacy]

I just built this machine last year. The disk drives are all new. Everything is refurbished, cleaned, and in working order. My son who has a AMD Radeon RX 570 is still running his game just fine. No, I think it's a bug in the game, or something with the latest updates of windows.

[twoeagleslegacy]

Besides. Jedi Survivor runs just fine on this PC...
