    I added a text file for all english speaking people.
    You can find them in the data downloads.


    I will respond to comments in a timely manner and answer them if there are any questions.
    Otherwise feel free to test my modification. But remember to always make a backup.

    For everyone who wants to turn off fog.
    Turn off Fog:
    If you want to turn off fog you can do that in Engine.ini
    Change r.Fog=1 to = 0

    English info (condensed) for any interested users:

    This mod features engine optimizations for Hogwarts Hegacy including shaders, texture streaming, and so on with the goal of stabilizing FPS and increasing overall FPS. The creator is getting around 60-100 FPS via this mod with the following hardware: i9-9900K, RTX 2070 OC, and 32 GB of RAM. The mod doesn't eliminate all FPS drops but it does eliminate the frequent stutters that many players experience. 

    To install, navigate to the following folder: C:\Users\(your folder)\AppData\Local\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

    Once there, create a backup of the files you're about to edit to be safe. These are "Engine.ini" & "GameUserSettings.ini".
    Replace the original files with those from this mod. That should complete the installation process. At that point, just start the game and you should see improvements. Tweak your in-game settings accordingly if you're not quite where you want to be in terms of FPS. 

    Check out the creator's YouTube and Twitch if you like the mod. They've linked them in the "about me" section of the mod page.

    New Finale Mod Version V.3 


    What all would be made? 
    In this mod version some things would be adjusted. V3


    • AsyncLoading Optimized. ( Less stuttering / More FPS )
    • Niagara bug (spells would not be displayed) would be fixed.
    • FX Optimization. ( Less stuttering ) 
    • AmbientOcclusion Optimized.
    • SSAA Optimization. ( Softer edges / better picture ) 
    • D3D12 Optimization. ( More constant FPS / Less stuttering ) 
    • Texture Streaming Optimized ( Small improvements texture loading )


    Streaming Pool Size would be removed as this is managed by the game itself. You can but if it runs better with them in the Engine.Ini the values:

    r.Streaming.PoolSize=
    Add. 

    6GB= 3072
    8GB= 4096
    12GB= 6144
    16GB= 8192
    24GB= 12288


    This is the final version. 
    The developers of Hogwarts Legacy are working on a fix for the performance issues. 
    If there are problems after the new patch I will look to update the mod. Currently I will bring smaller updates to fix bugs if they appear. 
    This mod is the most optimized mod that currently exists. 

    This mod is the most optimized mod that currently exists. 
    I had on Ultra Setting Maximum 138 FPS in the castle at the tolettes where it should go to the chamber. When I run through the castle I was at a minimum of 50-80 FPS. On Low & Mid settings I had 70-110 when I run around. 
    In Hogsmeade Ultra = 52-80 FPS / Low & Mid = 65-90 FPS.

    Important 1:
    Please use post-processing on High or Ultra. 
    Otherwise the edges will be very pixelated. This option will only cost you 1-2 FPS on High & 2-4 FPS on Ultra.
    With the settings the mod works best.
    Otherwise feel free to adjust your graphics as you feel comfortable.


    Important 2:
    This mod was not tested by me with an AMD graphics card. 
    So I do not know if it runs properly on AMD graphics cards.  
    Try it out but remember to make a backup. 


    Preview Images: 
    FOG ON

    NO FOG

    News Update 3.2
    Hey guys today I finished the new version. 

    The following is new in this version: 

    • Sky adjusted ( FPS more stable ) 
    • Shadow adjusted ( 10 FPS more ) 
    • Clouds adjusted ( FPS more stable ) 
    • Colors Adjusted ( Looks all a little better ) Fog Adjustments ( FPS Stable and a Better Fog ) 
    • Other small optimizations

    Preview images




    This version should actually be a RT optimization. I have to tell you honestly that RT eats a lot of FPS. 
    Even with an RT optimization the FPS would not be stable which is why I will not examine it further here. And also no RT version is coming. 
    Also, since the last patch of the game there is a bug with the light that shines through walls when the sun illuminates the room. This bug is not triggered by my mode action. Both without and with mod this error is present. Unfortunately, the developers have to fix this because I can not do anything. 


    I will give this mod another major update. In the near future I am currently waiting for the patch from the developers. 
    To go through it all again. 
    Likewise, I would like to look at the LOD closer as well as Grass and the environment whether there are also still a pair of optimizations possible. 


    Old Version Version Log
    ICENDIO V3.1
    I adjusted some parameters in this update. 


    • It would fix a bug where AMD FSR no longer fixes pixelated edges. So the mod runs now with DLSS / DLAA / AMD FSR 1.0-2.0 
    • It would fix a bug with the fog that it made the image black in the main menu. 
    • It would fix a bug that lights load later. Lights load nu faster
    • Added a package that includes all 4GB-24GB VRAM versions in the new version.
      Feel free to test them out. For many it helped to use a version where VRAM is limited. 
    • Added new version for No VRAM Limiter for RTX 40 graphics card. 
      Again, this version should only be used with an RTX 40. Because in this version the values are higher than in the other versions. 
    • New version 4 GB & 6 GB VRAM 
      This version would differ from the values in some points from the version 8GB - 16GB VRAM. So that these might run with GTX cards as well. Preview Images

      Low-Mid Setting & DLSS /  Postprocessing High


      ULTRA Setting & DLSS / Postprocessing High


      ULTRA Setting & FSR 2.0 / Postprocessing High

    Update is here. Version 3.2.2 

    • Small hotfix with the telescope. 
    • Small optimizations for the new patch. 

    The new one from the developers has brought new problems in game. 
    It can happen that the game crashes with the new update for Hogwarts. This is not the mod the error also have people who play without mod. 
    Also, it should happen that the GPU memory runs full. 

    My recommendation please use the version with VRAM LIMITER. If that should be the case with you.

    The new version 3.2.5 is ready. 
    In the packs is now always a NO Fog version inside. 
    New version for 2GB VRAM
    Colors would be adjusted again. 
    Small optimizations. 


    To adjust the colors you can remove these 4 values or play around with them to make your game colors happier. 
    r.Color.Min=0.00
    r.Color.Mid=0.80
    r.Color.Max=1.00
    r.TonemapperGamma=1.31


    Game Crashed Important. 
    Are not the problem of this mod. Some have reported that they have crashes with this mod. This I can not confirm after several hours of testing and playing. Acquaintances of mine have tested it as well. 
    Please send crash reports to the developers so they can fix it.

    Hilfe!

    ich habe mir den Mod installiert und es hat die FPS und Qualität schlechter gemacht als davor. Bei einem Kampf bekomme ich nichts mal mehr mit weil es so hängt oder wenn ich durch Hogsmeade laufe. 

    Ich habe die Mods aus meinen Dateien gelöscht und es ist immer noch da. Vielleicht muss ich noch irgendwas löschen/beachten? 

    dankeschön trotzdem

    This mod, with vsync on and locked to 60 fps is the only mod that actually provides mostly stable frame times. I dont know what this one is doing compared to the others but this one actually works. tested on an intel 13980hx, rtx 4090 and 32gb ram.

    Without the mod the game stutters continuously like crazy. set it to 120fps and it stutters between 115 and 120. set it to 80 and it stutters between 70 and 80fps, set it to 60 and it stutters between 55 and 60fps. absolute nightmare.

    this mod gets rid of that, again mostly. The only thing ive noticed, theres quite a strong kind of halo effect around the player. Maybe it was always given the fact the game heavily uses screen space ambient occlusion, but its definitely more noticeable now. thats when using ultra settings, no rt and using the rtx40xx version of the mod.

    And this mod hasnt even been updated in ages, with more recently updated mods out that are suppose to fix the stutters but dont do anything.

    Thank you @TikzZay 

    I tried lots of different mods and it's only yours that fixed most of my problems. I still have random shuttering and crashes a few times, but they are minimal compared to before. I restart the game from time to time and I can play for several hours without problems.
    Thank you, I wish you happy holidays.

    im not understanding, first time doing this.

    So i created a backup folder and put the files in it that i was supposed to, the next step is what i don't understand.

    so when i donwload your files  click the "Incendio 12gb vram" in the folder it has "Engine" file and "No FOg Engine" Folder.

    do i take both ofthose and just drag them into the "WindowsNoEditor" folder and that's it??

    Wow. Endlich, kein einziger Stutter mehr bzw nicht mehr so krass wie vorher und deutliche FPS Erhöhung durch diese Mod mit einer RTX 4070.
    Die neue Farben durch die Mod ist eigentlich okay, sieht schön gesättigt aus, ist mir jedoch aber zu dunkel daher ich doch bei dem Original bleibe. Wurde nur was an der Sättigung gemacht? Sieht schon nice aus.

    Edit: Ich kriege die Original Farben nicht mehr in Spiel rein, obwohl ich diese Zeilen gelöscht habe. Das ist ein Problem :D

    r.Color.Min=0.00
    r.Color.Mid=0.80
    r.Color.Max=1.00
    r.Tjavascript-event-stripped1.31 (das war bei mir gar nicht drin)
    r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0
    r.Tonemapper.Quality=2
    r.Tjavascript-event-stripped0 (das war auch bei mir gar nicht drin)

    Hätte nicht gedacht, dass dieser Fix funktioniert. Der beliebteste Fix auf Nexus läuft nicht so gut wie der hier. Verliert man durch die Mod hier eigentlich an Qualität?

    Und, gib die Mod bloß nicht auf hier :D

    Hi, hatte gehofft, dass dieser "mod" meine Probleme löst. Ich bekomme aber weiterhin genau die gleiche FPS wie vorher auch. Hast du iwelche anderen Einstellungen außer die Engine.ini zu ersetzen. Ich frage mich wirklich wie du auf so eine Leistungssteigerung kommst.

      Also bei mir ist nur die Engine.ini eingestellt. ( Meine Modifikation ) 
      Natürlich können sie auch wie auch auf der Mod Beschreibungs Seite die weiteren Tipps verwenden wie zb. den Update von DLSS auf die neuste Version. 
      Oder auch das Programm Reduce Memory ich zb benutze (Intelligent Standby List Cleaner) den hier. 
      Einfach mal Google macht das gleiche wie der Reduce Memory. 
      Und zur guter Letzt die Nvidia System Settings. 
       Öffnet Nvidia System Steuerung und geht in den Reiter ( 3D Einstellungen verwalten ) 
      Nun geht ihr auf Programmeinstellung und sucht / fügt Hogwarts Legacy dazu.
      Stellt nun folgendes ein: Dreifach-Puffer = Aus / Energieverwaltungmodus = Maximale Leistung / Max Bildfrequenz = Aus /
      Vertikale Synch = Ein
      Ich schick in Später meine Einstellen wie ich das Game spiele ( Ingame Einstellung ) 
      Wie viel Ram und was für ein CPU / GPU haben sie den ?

      Ich habe ne Legion 7 -
      3070 Laptop GPU 8GB Vram
      5800h CPU
      32GB DDR4 RAM
      SSD 

      Alle Modifikationen außer Reduce Memory habe ich gemacht.. vorallem wenn das Spiel mal 15-20 min läuft wird das immer schlimmer mit den Mikrolags. Zu Beginn läuft das besser

      Geht zufällig deine CPU hoch. 
      Falls ja liegt es an den neuen Nvidia Treiber der sorgt aktuell für Probleme. 

      Ansonsten wüsste ich jetzt auch nicht wieso es bei dir nicht läuft hm...
      Also bei meinen System bekomme ich 138 FPS raus. Min 65
      Vorher wahren es 39-57 und Diashow bei Video Scenen.

      Hm.. Das echt komisch alle Treiber sind aber aktuell bei dir auch Motherboard Windows auf aktuellen Stand?

      Hallo, ich habe Ihren Fix heruntergeladen und er wurde etwas besser.) Ich hatte nach dem Update vom 8. März keine Probleme mit fps, aber die Bildzeit in Hogsmeade ist ein Problem, und ich habe viele Fixes ausprobiert, und Ihrer war am nächsten ist passiert, aber bei der Verwendung des Lumos-Zaubers verschwinden die Schatten des Charakters und von Objekten, die vom Licht des Zaubers getroffen werden, einfach (und es schlägt aus der Atmosphäre heraus, können Sie helfen?

      Currently I am no longer working on the mod. Unfortunately, many problems also lie in the game itself. 
      I myself have stopped playing the game. Even if it ran better for me with the modifkationen. I do not want to support the developers currently further by starting the game or play. 
      Should there ever be an update which really makes the game better I will give the game again ne chance and vllt adapt the mod here.

      Aktuell arbeite ich nicht mehr an der Mod. Leider liegen viele Probleme auch am Spiel selber. 
      Ich selbst habe das Spiel aufgehört zu spielen. Auch wenn es bei mir mit den Modifkationen besser lief. Möchte ich die Entwickler Aktuell nicht weiter Supporten indem ich das Spiel Starte oder spiele. 
      Sollte es jemals ein Update geben was wirklich das Spiel besser macht werde ich den Spiel nochmal ne Chance geben und vllt die Mod hier anpassen.

    Hi ! 
    First of all, thx for this great work with the tweaks of the engine.ini ! I'm finally able to play smoothly at the game ! 
    However I notify a little bug ! And I wonder if this can be fix by tweaking, deleting a line or modify something.
    Between the hall central and the potion classroom, I can see big blinding light that can cross the wall & ceiling and that light disappear when I go there.
    Here's a screenshot of that bug :
    (And sorry if my english is bad ^^ I'm a french baguette de fromage xD)

      Hey this error is known and unfortunately not fixable. These light bugs are present even without mod. Since I have edited the shadows here to make the game run better, it falls out more in the castle in certain places. Have spent several days to fix this.But unfortunately no solution found.The castle is unfortunately full of such light bugs and we must all hope that this will be fixed by the developers.If you play a little with the shadows in the game setting you should see a difference. The higher the less the error occurs.According to my research it is because the sun when it is at a certain point (day time) causes this bug.At night the moon does the same but less than the sun. As if the walls are permeable to light.And thanks for your feedback my English is also not the best am also only ne German potato 🤣
