Hogwarts Legacy was released last month with glowing reviews from both fans and critics. However, like most modern AAA games nowadays, it wasn’t without faults. The title suffers from several technical issues that require further developer attention, and that’s exactly what it’s getting.
A new patch went live yesterday focused on stability, performance, and bug fixes. Facial animations are updated, and blurred textures and LOD pop are fixed. Player account network registration and tracking are improved, and fog volumes are removed for better BVH performance.
Tracking for Room of Requirement is enhanced, and the map won’t show an incorrect path to the map chamber anymore. The game's stability after a long playthrough is now better, and VFX in RT mode isn’t as punishing on the hardware as before. You can read a portion of the patch notes below.
