Hi all , Starting new game , BUT after the letter part it will not show the customize character part , only shows the main character on the right , but NO customize characters on the left . ~ Uninstalled , reinstalled , file check a-ok ...... suggestions (I did not do the sign in part just before this part ) . Suggestions ?????? running AMD EyeInfinity 10030 X 1440 , 7900XTX EVERYTHING UPDATED ETC ....

Have you tried it at a normal resolution?

[w00ps]

Not yet , (was going to give it a try soon if all else fails) . However the game or intro stuff before , and up to the (start game button) all work fine with 3 screens enabled . So its a weird situation , but yeh next to disable 3 screens down to one or reduce the rez in the pre start if iot allows me ...... keep ya updated .....

UPDATE :
Yup , had to disable EyeInfinity , then I could proceed and do the character setup . After that re enabled the 3 screens and we were good to go . Plays just fine in my native EyeInfinity resolution . No problems after about a short 30 minute run .

You could simply use SWRE ( Simple Windows Runtime Environment ) to make a single borderless window mode game to be used on triples. No Eyefinity or Surround needed. Much easier.

I'm honestly a little curious what kind of CPU can run that resolution for this game cause I use standard 1440p with an i7-12k/RTX 3070 and it still runs like ass. Unless somehow that 7900XTX is pulling way more weight than I think it does.

[derSanitoeter]

Ehm my dude, the CPU doesn't matter that much at 4k or above.

I am running any game that supports it in 7680x1440 and only have an AMD 5800X3D.

The GPU matters most here, not the CPU. Any X3D CPU from AMD would be highly beneficial but you could even use a 5600X or an Intel 12700k.

I think I just mean that this particular game just seems to be particularly badly optimized for a lot of folks. I wouldn't really want to try adding a couple million more pixels over even 4k without some real power behind it.

[derSanitoeter]

Not sure what you are talking about. The performance issues were fixed long ago. Runs pretty fine without any stutter or issues. Sometimes it is simply the user at home with his PC - and often here on steam game forums esp. users with 3000$ prebuilt PCs with ZERO clue how to use them...

No idea what you're talking about. The game runs with 4k, HDR, all settings on Ultra and ultra raytracing with about 50% CPU load on a 14900k which is even undervolted. I have uploaded a video proof here in the forum, including afterburner overlay.

Well that's boldly ignoring the many topics in just the past couple months about performance issues, isn't it? There was no optimization patch to change the results people got a year ago, either. There are numerous topics about it, really.

Just like the "$3000 PC" guy I quote below, you're using an exceptionally high-end CPU there likely paired with a very high-end GPU. That shouldn't be necessary for stable frames. That thing hits 6ghz with Turbo...

Why should you need a $3000 PC to play a game? The game should be able to optimize to play on mid-range PCs at least. Even cranking down the settings, I still don't get stable frames in this game and I own a $2000 mid-high PC that handles everything else I've thrown at it much better than Hogwarts Legacy.

There truly does seem to be some kind of issue with the optimization for many people but these topics always end up getting one of two responses: Dismissive, passive aggression or disappointed, reticent agreement.

I don't know why it's so hard to say "It runs fine for my beastly PC, but I do see a lot of complaints about the optimization so there's likely something valid about the poor optimization people are on about."

What you say is simply not true. Even on my nephew's 1200 bucks budget gaming computer, the game runs perfectly fine in 1080p. Drivers and Windows are constantly being developed further. You just have to spend 5 minutes with it.

Sure... continue being dismissive of the issue.

Obviously not everyone has the exact same hardware or the exact same problems, but there is a pretty clear trend here. My experience has been that I struggle to get stable frames that has only been second to Jedi Survivor (another notoriously badly optimized game). But y'know, glad it works well for you and your nephew.

Sorry, the first thread you mentioned is already 18 months old. I haven't read any more of this nonsense.

I have proven several times via video with Afterburner Overlay that the game runs just fine with the current patch level. The prerequisites are a clean and up-to-date Windows 11, patched drivers and a vanilla installation of the game. No crazy "fixes" necessary, nothing to switch off or anything.
