[meager shore]

[ocean dew]

Wait, I'm not 8th, I'm 9th.

[dense knoll]

X2

[meager stone]

the update has been released?

[hidden trail]

Xth.

[marble galleon]

Yep

[lethal summit]

Need console mods

[chrome totem]

As someone that routinely lives through games via "Mod it until it breaks" I have only one thing to say about official modding: Hot.

[thorny pecan]

Yes, downloading it now

[meager shore]

Bro im tempted to buy it again but on pc lmao

[meager stone]

thats cool finally i will play with cj in harry potter school

[split plaza]

no xess 2 😭

[vague trail]

Nicege

[dense knoll]

If I was you I would wait for a steam / epic discount

[placid quartz]

can you guys let us send images here

[meager shore]

Yeah

[wintry totem]

Exactly what I did a couple months ago. Bought it on steam just so I could play multiplayer haha

[celest mauve]

I wonder how far the mods are gonna go. Like is it gonna add a whole new side quest made by people. Wouldnt surprise me if someone makes a side quest regarding quidditch

[thorny pecan]

only slytherins can

[meager stone]

is that possible?

[meager shore]

If only i had money

[thorny pecan]

or... azkaban with content!!

[celest mauve]

You never know with modding anymore.

[wintry totem]

Deluxe is currently £13.99 on CDK

[celest mauve]

Eh that might be a bit far. Because they need to make a whole new area. Vs quidditch the area is already there

[thorny pecan]

yeah alright i just want to play as actual harry skin or hermione and ron

[placid quartz]

whats cdk

[meager shore]

Also switch graphics are a piece of garbage, but i got to say they did a good job of optimizing it

[celest mauve]

Oh that might happen just not story wise

[wintry totem]

Cdkeys

[placid quartz]

i aint buying from these key resellers

[wintry totem]

Only played it on Xbox series but tbh. Since I made the switch to PC, it’s amazing. Even installed reshade

[meager shore]

Switch just needs some better tech, because holy cow is that stuff old

[wintry totem]

They was out of stock but a steam sale recently went on for deluxe at £11.99 (that’s when I picked it up) so I think they copped a bunch of gift codes and making a bit of profit on it

[wintry totem]

Isn’t there a new one meant to be coming out soon?

[meager shore]

Yeah

praying for it

[chrome totem]

I've been using the UltraPlus mod - it really helps beautify the game + it helps with game performance

[placid quartz]

do yall think HL will work on switch 2?

[placid quartz]

What does it do? Make the graphics better or?

[wintry totem]

Here’s to a (hopefully) serious upgrade to the switch players 🍺

[meager shore]

Most likely

[versed charm]

wait - so, the mod update is only available for deluxe edition?

[meager shore]

I got the physically copy so maybe

[wintry totem]

I doubt it. Be available for all versions but won’t be able to use assets etc from those DLCs

[versed charm]

ah oh ye

i was gonna be like damn im glad i spent the extra money 2 years ago

[wintry totem]

I imagine it’ll be like bethesdas mods. Tells you if x is required. Eg someone edits the dark arts pack. It’ll say you don’t own this pack and will disable the mod

[chrome totem]

It highly optimizes numberous aspects of the game. I'll go grab the nexus page for you since that will explain what the mod does better than I can

[meager shore]

I dont think many people will mod that part of the game

[wintry totem]

Just an example, but I assume lots of new animations, clothing, meshes and edits will be on the way.

I’m unsure what the creator kit offers but I’m hoping it is like the creation kit. Wouldn’t mind working on some quests

[upper moon]

The creator kit is 254 GB?

[marble galleon]

Yep at least

[upper moon]

damn

[wintry totem]

👀👀 ayooo, sounds like we’ve got some tools to work with

[meager shore]

merlin, that much?

[upper moon]

is it just unreal engine with a different logo and some plugins?

[wintry totem]

Nahh even my unreal engine 5 doesn’t take up that much space

[upper moon]

is it ue5?

[wintry totem]

Believe HL uses a custom build of unreal engine 4.2

[upper moon]

thats what I thought

[wintry totem]

Maybe wrong but I think it’s 4.2.7

[chrome totem]

Here you go https://www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/660

[real moon]

yeah, and a lot is probably source assets like models and textures
when extracted game files can be large

[upper moon]

well, im downloading the game first, we'll see about the 254gb creator kit later haha

[median grail]

Yeah, they have their own build
Plus with the game assets it's reasonable

[real moon]

only thing i dislike is how they want 32GB minimum lol
thinking about clearning up some space and checking how it runs at 16GB on my old PC

[upper moon]

the game is like 70gb on disk right?

[wintry totem]

I have 3TB in my pc. I don’t have any more to spare 😂 my Skyrim alone takes up 1 full TB

[real moon]

yeah
i assume it will be basically the full game extracted
so you can play within the editor itself

[worn goblet]

whats nur pc specs

[real moon]

i am running a rx580, 16GB RAM and an old FX CPU lol

played through HL on that

[placid quartz]

And your PC survived?

[rotund epoch]

Lmao I thought discussing modding was against the rules

[quartz stump]

Oooo yay mods

[wintry totem]

So did I buttt apparently not anymore

[quartz stump]

I am might install qol mods

[chrome totem]

I just checked the rules because I shared a link to a mod site and I saw nothing about mod discussion being disallowed

[real moon]

yeah
was not too bad
some random stutters here and there but it was playable
in some areas i even got up to 50-60fps

[chrome totem]

Maybe you're confusing the moderation with modification?

[real moon]

hogsmead is intensive though
usually 40fps

[rotund epoch]

Nexus mods ftw

[wintry totem]

They may have removed it. I remembered wanting to ask about server replication for the mod support but saw a sub title saying no discussion of mods

[median grail]

Lots of them might be broken rn

[rotund epoch]

That's crazy low I'm getting 90 to 116 fps

[median grail]

Because of the update

[chrome totem]

Very likely if it was a rule before

[placid quartz]

LOL? My antivirus said: "Threats detected, Hogwarts Legacy does NOT have a valid digital signature."

[split plaza]

Y’all are allowed to discuss modding now lol

The rule was edited

[median grail]

Verify files integrity

[placid quartz]

can you allow us to post images here?

[wintry totem]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-spongebob-current-mood-gif-19939062

[wintry totem]

Yeahhh, my gif shows a valid reaction to that message 😎😂

[rotund epoch]

@split plaza Why weren't we before? Just curious

[placid quartz]

I did

[chrome totem]

Which anitvirus?

[median grail]

As there was no official support for mods

[chrome totem]

It's likely a false-positive

[placid quartz]

norton

[chrome totem]

OOF

[median grail]

Yeah, Norton..

[placid quartz]

chat i cant even verify integrity of HL anymore I-

[versed charm]

yeah, not discussing unofficial matters on the official HL server seems logical

just in a logistical sense i guess.

[serene hull]

how many times do they keep wanna tell everyone that modding it out

[median grail]

Honestly you're safe with just Window's own antivirus, lol

[serene hull]

real

[placid quartz]

i got a year subscription for free cuz of my pc

[split plaza]

Mmm well think about it

Y’all can use #1331343166166794342 for now though

[serene hull]

mcafee ahh

[median grail]

And because of the ToS, now you're safe to talk about it

[placid quartz]

well or we'll

[marble galleon]

we'll I think

[serene hull]

both

[versed charm]

yay, i won't have to think about getting my head chopped off for mentioning the word "nexus" anymore

[median grail]

Yeah that's usual to get, I prefer to not make use of them - it brings trouble more than anything for me

[chrome totem]

I run only Windows Defender with Malwarebytes and Spybot as supplementals just in case. I've recently been pointed at eset for anti-virus needs though

[real moon]

well it´s not the best PC heh
i was happy with it though
most was low, except the textures

[placid quartz]

i uninstalled it

[serene hull]

my laptop can play it but its about to explode

[chrome totem]

I guess I'm proof of that, I shared a nexus link above and my head is still attached. Lol.

[placid quartz]

dont need the year

[serene hull]

rather play it on my pc

[median grail]

Well, they acknowledge Third Party Mods, so I guess it's also safe to mention Nexus

You can ask a Mod, tho

[versed charm]

ooh, well there you go lmao.

nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus nexus.

[placid quartz]

also quick question, why is the creator kit 300GB? does it include all the source-code or?

[versed charm]

i don't have seven heads

just so you know

[median grail]

[placid quartz]

erm? what the nexus?

[chrome totem]

I am curious to see which, if any, mods make the switch from Nexus to CurseForge

[median grail]

They contacted some of the creators in Nexus

Not sure which tho

[versed charm]

i'd guess some of the more complex performance improvements and reshade presets won't

[median grail]

Some good mods in Nexus have been broken for a while cuz they weren't updated

[wintry totem]

I’m hoping the devs at hogwarp 🤞

[chrome totem]

Hrm... There are already 105 mods on CurseForge. I think I see a few familiar mods on there

[median grail]

They weren't, as far as I can see

[wintry totem]

Damn, gunna download the editor now anyway and see what’s what

[median grail]

They're now looking into the update and see if this new update helps with their project

[chrome totem]

https://www.curseforge.com/hogwarts-legacy

In case you don't want to wait for the download just to look

[hardy nimbus]

500 GB for the Creator Kit? Are you serious?

[stray yew]

can you use both the mods included in the update and nexus mods?

[chrome totem]

Where are people finding the creator? On Steam?

[stray yew]

epic games me thinks

[marble galleon]

Epic games store

[wintry totem]

If the editor is as open as I think it is, then it should in theory. It’ll take awhile to add server replication to EVERYTHING but should move hogwarp from a framework to an exact Skyrim Together style mod

[placid quartz]

what would happen if the preparing shaders screen was REMOVED? 😍

[chrome totem]

Oof, I even read that and I forgorred already. Lol.

[dense knoll]

The blurred mod from the trailer is steamboat Willie! 😂

[median grail]

No idea, I guess it should as long as the mod is compatible with Hogwarts Legacy current version

[median grail]

Yeah, we'll see

[stray yew]

guess theres only one way to find out 🤕

[placid quartz]

Oh.

I am polish and I understood that, It seems like a mod dealt with it.

[chrome totem]

I'm going to launched Hogwarts with old nexus mods still on when it is done patching, so I can let ya'll know I guess. Lol.

[upper moon]

im not polish and i also understood that

[marble galleon]

In #patch-notes they said "Please note: Due to changes to both data serialization and upgrades to our Raytracing features in the Hogwarts Legacy engine, level code changes were made that will break all 3rd Party MODs that use skeletal mesh assets made before the upcoming MODs patch.".
So I don't know if it will work xD

[sudden lily]

This is 🥜🥜

[upper moon]

not 500, only 254 right?

[chrome totem]

Yeah, I'm assuming that means clothing and hair mods, maybe bodyshape mods, but I don't recall seeing those kinds of mods.

I mostly had QoL mods along with UltraPlus

[hardy nimbus]

I had a message that I would need 420 GB and only had 315 GB or something like that.

[median grail]

You can make lots of things with it,

[upper moon]

someone is gonna make diagon alley

[median grail]

No idea if you can

[marble galleon]

Okay it seems like the creator kit is an UE4 installation

[upper moon]

should be? if you can make custom dungeons

[median grail]

They mentioned you can make dungeons and quests

Guess if you can recreate a town then it's possible to make Diagon Alley

[chrome totem]

Yeah, I see a new dungeon mod on CurseForge already

[stray yew]

yeah nothing works

man

[rotund epoch]

Well, seeing as how I'm a developer for a game studio already, I can assure you guys I'll be putting out some elaborate dungeons.

[upper moon]

yeah I think its the whole of UE4 editor, because they have customized the engine and if you look at the video they have on CurseForge you can see the ue4 editor
https://hogwartslegacy.curseforge.com/images/video/video-0.mp4

[placid quartz]

are custom-spells possible with the creator kit?

[sudden lily]

Ji Ning dude i love ur name, is from Desolate Era?

[wintry totem]

Should be

[median grail]

Should be possible then, we'll see who's up to the task

[stray yew]

need my faster cooldowns

[upper moon]

we'll see once its done downloading haha

[wintry totem]

Want me to update my mod?

[marble galleon]

400 GB on the disk for the creator kit btw

[placid quartz]

the micky mouse mod in HL though is crazy

[median grail]

Thx, and yeah it is, one of the first Wuxia/Xianxia books that I read, lol

[wintry totem]

Just downloading it now 😂 had to clear out some space

[placid quartz]

https://www.curseforge.com/hogwarts-legacy/mods/steamboat-willie-quest

"Help Steamboat Willie stock his ship! Willie needs some help gathering some animals to deliver. Find him in Gladrags in Hogsmeade to see what he's looking for!"

i cant

[marble galleon]

Yep the download from EGS is "only" 250 GB but when you launch it, it adds up to 400GB xD

[median grail]

That would be neat

[wintry totem]

Didn’t even let me install it without having 400GB free

[marble galleon]

Oh lol

[stray yew]

yes please!!!

[median grail]

With official support they'll work better than the ones in Nexus

[sudden lily]

JiNing i dmed you, can you help me put flair on my username?

[placid quartz]

#🏰choose-your-house and choose hufflepuff

[wintry totem]

Bare with. I had all cooldowns set to like 0.1 second so I’ll make it simple with just cooldowns along with it working during combat. What timings do you want for the spells? Leave it at 0.1 or change it?

[placid quartz]

0.001

[stray yew]

leaving it how it is! i don't see any reason for it to be any lower to be honest

[wintry totem]

In fact lemme see if it works with the current update real quick and if it’s fine I’ll just send you what I got now

But it does have some room of requirement tweaks in it

Such as the seed yields increased slightly, and the beast capacity and the players inventory for beasts

[wintry totem]

I meant I didn’t know if you wanted them to be longer instead of instant

[stray yew]

oh LOL no, instant is fine

[rotund epoch]

I just reached Master Prestige in Black Ops 6. Aye!

[wintry totem]

Ngl the ability to cast spells in combat instantly is OP ASF

[stray yew]

I get so mad when I can't cast confringo every 2 seconds

[wintry totem]

Go to the duel locations and test A K

[wintry totem]

Every mod I tried either wasn’t instant or worked in combat so thought, Yano what. I’ll just do it myself and works exactly how I wanted it to

Just updating my game. At 11%

[narrow dirge]

am i going to keep hogwarts legacy forever and not get my money back 😔

[upper moon]

well theyre talking about it on the stream rn

[stray yew]

Why would you refund 😟

[placid quartz]

chat check #1334593100538056797 LOL

[versed charm]

so uhh, anyone else having the game crash on starting a modded save?

[stray yew]

preparing shaders, will let u know x

[chrome totem]

I just now crashed but I was able to play for a while - most all of the mods I have installed seem to be working (including spell cooldown reduction)

[versed charm]

you got any from nexus overlapping or?

[chrome totem]

The changes to texture streaming in the patch-notes seemed to really hit my performance so I can't tell if the crash was related to mods or to official patch

[agile apex]

What are the biggest changes since release? Haven't played since then and thinking about picking my old save back up to finish it

[placid quartz]

anyone else got the same issue?

[chrome totem]

I have nothing but nexus mods installed

[narrow dirge]

the game is so much yappin and i bsrely can fight ANYONE

[stray yew]

nexus mods dont work for me

[stray yew]

I fear theres a lot of yapping at the beginning

[versed charm]

hmm okay, just update. apparently the game restarts after loading a save.

not a crash, just loads things through. that's interesting

[placid quartz]

sogie, can you also check if any new buttons have text for you? the old ones do but the new ones do not

@stray yew ^

[chrome totem]

All of the buttons I saw have text, but I wasn't looking too hard at buttons

[placid quartz]

anything mods related has NO text for me

[chrome totem]

Huh. I'm curious which mods just so I can check when I have more time later

[placid quartz]

i meant like, anything mods related, like the button on the titlescreen, mod browser, nothing in there has any names just something like [MOD_BROWSER_MODATITLEOS], as if it is NOT loading the new stringtable, just the MOD names load in the modbrowser, the rest is pathways to a stringtable

[fair plover]

anyone else not being able to start game after installing mods ? it starts loading shaders and then crashes

[placid quartz]

idk if that makes sense?

[chrome totem]

Yeah that makes sense. Someone else posted a screenshot in another server that had that. I somehow avoided that issue

[chrome totem]

I haven't tried any CurseForge mods yet

[placid quartz]

i sent you a screenshot

[fair plover]

damn, verifying integrity.. hope this does somthing

[placid quartz]

i love having fun issues, i dont load any text in so!

[fair plover]

well.. they do say, never play on patch day 😄

[chrome totem]

Got it, replied!

[chrome totem]

Ain't that the truth lol

[median grail]

You're the beta tester

[fair plover]

got it! repaired the game, it crashed earlier 😄

[chrome totem]

When I have the time later, I get to uninstall all the mods and see if thats why I had a crash or if something in the patch caused it

[deep cliff]

[fair plover]

ye.. its just not letting me in, I keep crashing on installing shaders sadge

[chrome totem]

I had some hard stutters from apparent texture streams when I tried running from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade, then I saw a pretty read building in town and thats when the crash occurred

[median grail]

It's recommended to reinstall the game, so yeah, no third party mods at all as well

[chrome totem]

For me it took an extra few minutes to build shaders, then I had about a minute or two of black screen and no sound before the main menu loaded

[fair plover]

might help forsure, or wait until a new patch has been released

[median grail]

That said, you'll probably get other issues - as it's been reported

[chrome totem]

If I have to reinstall a game for a patch then why even bother with a patch lol

[median grail]

I hope it's not another null pointer they forgot to validate, lol

[vapid fog]

my game keeps crashing after update

[median grail]

That one stopped me from playing for like a month

[fair plover]

wait i cant post a gif from dc here 😮

[placid quartz]

idk why but my preparing shaders now goes for 10 mins

[chrome totem]

Oofs!

[median grail]

This happened in the Summer update as well

They made similar changes like back then, so no wonder it's taking that long for shaders to load again

[placid quartz]

its happening everytime i restart the game

[median grail]

Oh welp, something messed up then

[delicate wedge]

for me the wb account won't sync/sign in, anyone else?

[narrow rampart]

What is it in Hogwarts Legacy Creator Kit that is 254GB of data?

[chrome totem]

I've yet to see any answer to that question yet

I'm having fun with poking at the update

[narrow rampart]

Thats iterally 3 times more than game

[astral canyon]

So.. Should we delete every mod we already installed from nexus?

[marble galleon]

It's a custom installation of Unreal engine 4 with all the assets

[narrow rampart]

I keep them, lol

[astral canyon]

Ok. Then I will too. I definitely wanna keep them until we maybe get improved versions for some mods

[chrome totem]

Well, this is new. The whole page for Graphics Options is just blank for me.

[narrow rampart]

Does the Hogwarts Legacy Creator Kit allow players to create a mod with new logic? I mean, can i write code in it?

[marble galleon]

I think so. You should be able to do everything that you can do in UE4 so yes. I don't know if there are restrictions

[narrow rampart]

Okay then... Time to learn how UE4 works... lol

[placid quartz]

did one of you download the creator-kit yet?

[marble galleon]

Yep

[placid quartz]

did you open it yet?

[wintry totem]

@stray yew I’m still waiting for my game to update. If I just sent you my .pak file would you wanna test it?

[marble galleon]

Yes I did but I can't make the "Play" button work... The game lauches but it's taking 100% of my CPU and I had to wait for 10-15min to get in game

[narrow rampart]

I am still downloading it, 2%, its so slow for me

[placid quartz]

i downloaded 77 gigs already, 31%

[stray yew]

Not for me

[sharp current]

Is the creator kit actually 300gb?

[placid quartz]

yeah i hate this update, all textures are blurry for me!

[sharp current]

That's like 3/4 of my SSD lol (Still have a 512gb. Hoping ot upgrade it within the year)

[digital oyster]

Dude I came to this discord just to voice this haha. Fn insane!!

[digital oyster]

same man. I have a pretty fast computer and internet and mine is barely at 20%

I wonder if there is that many modders. I'm pretty decent with UE so I'm about to go nuts with this until Stalker 2 drops their kit.

[sharp current]

Since it seems like this is the first official modding tool for WB, I'm giving them some leeway. Maybe a few updates later, the GB requirements for the creation kit will drop

[digital oyster]

I just hope there isn't restrictions like the Fortnite creation kit. I want to be able to add things to the character itself

[delicate pumice]

What with the nexus mods now? Is there no way to keep them?

My ~mods folder has 471 files

[half fjord]

Many of those will likely be incompatible and cause crashes

[sharp current]

Not sure how common skeletal mesh assets are in Nexus Mods, but as long as they don't have it, it should be fine?

[flat moth]

my game just loads shaders again and again.. hmm

[placid quartz]

any mods with localization break the localization for mods

[median grail]

yeah, just dont use nexus mods for now

they'll have to be updated, and if the creator is active they can just move it to the official platform

[sharp current]

Gonna guess Nexus mods and the in game mods probably won't be compatible?

[placid quartz]

by the looks of it, not compatible

[sharp current]

Not now but in the future I mean

Kinda like BG3

[dense knoll]

How did you enable it?

[median grail]

They can be, but they need to be updated by the creator of the mod

[placid quartz]

, i can show you a screen recording of it though

[sharp current]

If we disable nexus mods, will that break our save file?

[placid quartz]

no

[median grail]

it shouldn't

[sharp current]

oh thank Voldemort lol. Didn't want to redo it

Is there a site where we can download mods into our game? Or is it just completely in game

[placid quartz]

nevermind.. it seems like this spell is indeed from a mod??

i said nothing erm

LMAO, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A REAL INGAME SECRET SPELL- IT WAS JUST APART OF THAT 9 SPELL NEXUS MOD-

[unreal swift]

I’m desperately hoping it’s possible to make the companion mod again if it’s broken 😮‍💨 my literal fav.

[obtuse onyx]

You can browse mods on the CurseForge website but it sounds like you can only access/download them from the in-game menu, per the FAQ

[sharp current]

Err.. yeah... will skip that. Curseforge doesn't like adblockers and won't load mods with one

[placid quartz]

whats the possibility of future mods being viruses?

[sharp current]

Seeing as Avalanche seems to be modding the mods, little to none? At least for in game. Nexus? Who knows

[restive gull]

I am strongly convinced this mod support is but a test to see how popular and successful it will be before they choose wether or not to bring it to consoles

Cant change my mind on that

[trail pollen]

please someone put the mod that allows you to put different languages ​​in the audio and subtitles ❤️

[zenith phoenix]

lol mod support on consoles xD

[sharp current]

Mod support can work on consoles. BG3 is a great example for it

[uncut junco]

my old mods from nexus mods :c

[sharp current]

Maybe the modders will update them or bring them over

[tall ferry]

Anyone else getting a crash message after the update? I have no mods at all.

[past oasis]

Naw. I am having issues running mods, but it doesn't crash since the update.

[tall ferry]

I cant log in and have never downloaded a mod. Keeps crashing

[sharp current]

Is it normal to enable the mods for the game to go back to the shaders screen?

[past oasis]

Hmmm.... I dunno'. Course, my PC isn't great for running Hog. Leg. It's never run very well.

[trail pollen]

yep

[sharp current]

Whew. Thought I was gonna be in a loop heck lol

[hollow snow]

Is it normal for a modded playthrough to only show up in the mods section and not the main menu?

[zenith phoenix]

The ones being targeted by the update? Dunno. If it were me I wouldn’t out of protest

[zenith phoenix]

Knowing WB yes

[hollow snow]

Okie dokie, thought i might have broken something at first

[sharp current]

So we have to launch our modded playthrough through the mod section?

[zenith phoenix]

You did, you installed WB mod setup

[hollow snow]

Thats the only place I was able to

It doesn't show up on the main menu page

Only my unmodded playthroughs do

[zenith phoenix]

Why would you expect that to be different?

And why are you launching modded saves unmodded ?

[delicate wedge]

Anyone else having issues with wb account not syncing?

[sharp current]

That doesn't affect our character slots does it? Unless we were given more slots

[hollow snow]

No idea honestly

[zenith phoenix]

lol god I hope it does, it would be ironic

[south hatch]

Hi. I wanted to ask how HL modding works, specifically if I am able to create alternative logic through scripting or it's just about customizing stuff visually?

[potent monolith]

Do you guys encounter when you click on "Play mods" the game froze and crashed?

[median grail]

you'll have to check out the #📜pcmod-resources channel to know how much is possible

[flat flume]

yup

been having this issue

[real moon]

currently downloading it
i am curious how well it will work with just 16GB

i hope they don´t just throw a error message and not make it work at all

[olive nimbus]

Do u have to start over with mods or u can play where u were on the game ?

Bc appeared a save with 0 hours of playing

[past oasis]

You can apply mods to new saves or other saves (it will just copy your old save).

[olive nimbus]

Mine crashed too trying to restart

[slow ember]

Are there any tips from others who also have game crashing after few minutes? I've insalled new drivers, restarted pc few times, verified files in steam, nothing helps

[median mortar]

Can anyone help me, on the page to connect to the WB Games an error appears: Invalid Authorization Request
invalid_redirect_uri

[midnight urchin]

Okay, so after the update and adding mods, my graphics tab of the menu doesn't load

Everything else does

[past oasis]

I did notice that, yeah.

[restive gull]

Skyrim and fallout 4 too

[midnight urchin]

Also, can I make an appeal to anyone
When I heard mod support was coming, I was so happy, and excited to possibly be able to kick back and have a rest sometimes, with a cuppa and nice view
But there's no sitting mod
Please someone, help a tired girl out 🤣😁

[dense knoll]

I’m not a dev, but I’m going to play around with the mod editor and if I find a way to do it, I’ll definitely make it

Although I think my skills will only go far enough to add the sitting option lol

Now that I think of it, to be able to sit I would need to modify every single bench, chair, etc and make custom animations…

[sinful cosmos]

Modding able to remove the flying boarders?

[flat flume]

There was

Not so much now

[obtuse onyx]

Yes, this is covered in the video https://youtu.be/w4SS741ixVI

It basically makes a copy of the save within the mods menu, so you have to launch it from there to be playing the modded version.

[trail pollen]

Will people be able to add mods normally? If so, I'm dreaming of the mod to be able to change language and subtitles separately

[hollow snow]

[obtuse onyx]

What do you mean normally? Not through the game menu? I would imagine not since they want to moderate which mods are allowed, but I don't know what their future plans are, if any, for that. All the info on the system right now is in #❓pcmod-faqs

[trail pollen]

It was never possible to change the audio language with a difference in the subtitles, it is always the same language for both, unfortunately... but thx ❤️

[obtuse onyx]

Sorry, I wasn't really sure what you were asking. My apologies

[hoary temple]

Sorry, this has probably already been asked, but is it possible for the game to crash with mods we had before?

The mods I was using aren't in the new version and I'd like to continue playing with them but my game crashes......

[halcyon loom]

i believe so. because i had to remove my entire mods folder and then my game managed to load in

and i also verified my game files too

and also most mods before this patch has to be remade in the creation kit now. so, any hair, outfits or face mods are futile

[serene agate]

In the Patch Notes it says that any 3rd party mods using skeletal mesh assets are broken, so that could probably be why it's crashing! (in case you want to read it: #patch-notes message)

[placid quartz]

how many gigs have you guys downloaded so far for the creator kit? im missing 80 gigs

[hoary temple]

yes it works when i remove my mod folder but so I'm disappointed. It's like ‘omg you can play with mods’ in fact no....

[hoary temple]

thx

[stuck adder]

Is there a list of mods I can check outside of the game?

[deep cliff]

Jesus some nice image size/quality in some of this guides, just a blurry image of something.

[potent monolith]

Guys how to fix this, ireinstalled the game and its still crashing when clicking the Play mods

[dense knoll]

You can check them out here: https://www.curseforge.com/hogwarts-legacy

[spare elk]

Does this game require more resources after the patch? After the patch, my game freezes before main menu and no i don't use any mods

[stuck adder]

Thank you!

[dusky salmon]

Is mods coming to ps5?

[half fjord]

Mods are only on PC and there is no mention of mod support on consoles yet

[subtle mulch]

I added a couple of mods (10) to an old save. When I attempt to load that save after applying the mods, the game just sits on the loading screen. It has been about 15-20 minutes. Should it take this long to apply the mods? Thank you.

[half fjord]

That seems too long, you should force quit the game and try again. Maybe remove some in case they are somehow conflicting

[subtle mulch]

Will do, thank you!

[dense knoll]

[delicate pumice]

Has anyone found a way around to make external mods from nexus still work?

Included cosmetics

[distant ruin]

not yet as far as im aware but im pretty sure a lot of the mods from nexus will be on the new mod page soon

sql mods and some others should work, its just the cosmetic ones that arent

[delicate pumice]

Yeah i'm just worried about some really good old mods, their creators don't seem active

[distant ruin]

ah yeah thats true. i guess if anything they’ll probably get recreated but that would just suck for the og creator

has anyone figured out how to actually use the mod creator yet? ive been trying to edit the second fmc face model but i cant figure out how to do it

[delicate pumice]

Yeah that might create problems when it comes to the new WB rules

[real moon]

i had that too
the way i got around is just by going to the warner page itself
logging in and then link the account via the account settings

[placid quartz]

34 gigs left

[rugged pebble]

so i bet people already asked about the game crashing when pressing play but how did you guys fix it?

[placid quartz]

dew u have mods

[rugged pebble]

remove mods? reiinstall

[rugged pebble]

yea

[placid quartz]

nexus?

[rugged pebble]

yeaa

[placid quartz]

remove all the mods

[rugged pebble]

T.T my shaylaa

okey ty

[delicate pumice]

I guess we'll just have to wait for a (maybe)solution when it comes to nexus cosmetics

[tall ferry]

Where are these 2 new dungeons located?

Also why is herbology 3 so op?

[real plover]

ive tryed everything i can think of , cant seem to login to my wb account in game.. check network connection is the message im getting

[restive fiber]

anyone know how to fix this on the mod menu thing. Like the selction titles in the mod menu look spelled like this (Mod_BROWSE_BTNLABELVIEWMODS0 as like titles.

I have a photo but wont let me upload here

[quaint hawk]

I’m doing All’s Well That End Bell Quest I need help plz

[feral kelp]

anyone else having trouble with the dark arts makeup?

also is there just a way to use my old mods or do i have to use this new system?

[worn whale]

Does the performance seem worse after the update to anyone else? No mods. I play a lot on steam deck. Definitely seems to be a lot worse fps drops now.

[past oasis]

Played mostly better for me, though not by much.

[jolly walrus]

So happy! Finally got a unicorn and it wasnt even supposed to be it was by accident!

[surreal night]

Does anyone have Hogwarts Legacy for Xbox?

?

alguem tem?????

[polar turtle]

I have absolutely no idea how to describe this issue, but something is happening with the mod menu, where it's only showing weird text in brackets, and the mods won't activate. I even guessed and went to the mod activation page and activated the mods in my save and it did nothing. Is anyone else having the same problem? And does anyone know how to fix it?

[tall ferry]

No clue thats weird

Try relogging?

[polar turtle]

tried that

tried relinking accounts

tried restarting my computer

i wish i could send a screenshot bc that helps a bit more ig

[tall ferry]

Yeah it would. Discord is weird about that. Took me awhile to even get logged in because antivirus was saying it was corrupted. So it seems theres issues all over atm

[polar turtle]

i could dm you the screenshot if you're fine with that

i wont dm you after that

[tall ferry]

Im not tech savy though so I can help what I can, but not sure I can. lol. But ill look

[polar turtle]

ok

[tall ferry]

ANyone know exactly where Sams Dungeon is? Says south of upper hogsmeade. Cant find it

[merry cedar]

guys im kinda stuck at the early stages of the dungeon of doom lmao

[tall ferry]

I got my ass handed to me i nthe jumping part. But was kinda neat

[merry cedar]

you know when you get at the top of the stairs and theres three guys there and then you kill them but idk what to do next

[tall ferry]

Yep. Bust the boxes to find the symbol to hit. Then get back on the floating square across the room to hit the other

[polar turtle]

imagine being able to access it 🙄

[worn whale]

On pc with dlss it's way better, but on amd with steam deck.... definitely seems worse. Really wish they took the time to add FSR 3.1 😦

[merry cedar]

THANK YOU i would never find that by myself

[tall ferry]

NP. I hit revelio and saw it behind the boxes

[pallid sleet]

hey can anyone help me i just updated my game and its not working n idk what to do any help is great <3

[tall ferry]

Not working how?

[past oasis]

I suppose so.Not sure I have access to DLSS, since my GPU is crap, so.....

[polar turtle]

i wonder if its anything like my issure

*issue

[tall ferry]

I had to turn my antivirus off otherwise I kept crashing

[pallid sleet]

that’s what’s happening to me

[tall ferry]

Turn off anitvirus. Then verify game files for the game. Then it worked for me

[polar turtle]

oh so not my issue

[tall ferry]

I had to do both of those otherwise it kept crashing

[worn whale]

Yea I have a 4070 Super and seem to be running over 100 fps with full ray tracing on before I had to turn it off because it would dip to bad.

[past oasis]

I have a 1650. It runs at around 30 fairly well now, but it didn't used to.

[obtuse onyx]

If you're experiencing crashing or bugs with the mod menu, it's best to take screenshots and/or video and make a report to #📇customer-support as I've seen a lot of people mentioning these two issues and making them aware of it will help push out a fix.

I know it might be annoying if they run you through the basic trouble-shooting, but it will show them that stuff isn't working and point them towards the cause.

Also, make sure you're removing your old mods as that may be causing a conflict (maybe make sure the mod manager isn't running either?)

[polar turtle]

i did already have mods installed when the update dropped, so if that was directed towards me, then thx

[obtuse onyx]

It's for anyone that it might help! Hopefully it does

[polar turtle]

ima delete the mods that i already had installed and see if that works

OH MY GOD IT WORKED

[worn whale]

Yea I may have been wrong. I think I found what was causing the performance issues on my steam deck. So it may be overall better performance all around which is definitely nice.

[real moon]

smells like someone wants to port to a another game
which i don´t think is something they would like here

[wary breach]

ever since update i go to launch the game and wont get past the Warning: Read before playing screen before just exiting the game. ive tried deleting all my mods from nexus, verifying files, and unistalling and reinstall, if any1 has a fix for this it would be greatly appreciated

[real moon]

why did i know this was about GTA and Fivem...

Rockstar does not like that
they don´t want other IPs to be ported

[timid bobcat]

ya'll

it will NOT let me create a WB account

it says "it's not available" or whatever

whatever i'll just use nexus

way better then any AAA game's built-in "mod manager"

[split plaza]

y'all have any idea when they'll patch the bug that breaks ur game? 😦

[quiet ocean]

how does it break it?

[quiet ocean]

the thing is the doable things with the tool kit vs what modders can do without it is huge, too bad its not working for you tho

[split plaza]

for 3rd party mods (example: ones installed from nexus), when u load up ur game hogwarts legacy fails to make it pass the title screen 😦

[quiet ocean]

yah this will happen with new updates, its not a HL thing its a modder needs to update mod thing

[split plaza]

damn alr... ty tho

[timid bobcat]

i think it's funny how broken their game is (alone) and they think they need to add mods.

perhaps they think modders will fix the game for them which.. isn't a bad idea. it's been done before.

[quiet ocean]

i dont really think that HL is broken, it has some minor bugs and stuff but its not really broken, the amount of stuff they gave us with the mod kit is really really high, i have been tinkering with it a bit and it looks like you can really do a LOT, cant wait to see what ppl smarter than me can do with it XD

[timid bobcat]

I've had a bug that flat out soft locks you.

And it's still effecting people. hasn't been patched.

People've had to refund the game due to it.

[quiet ocean]

how often is the question, and with the auto saves it should really not be a big deal

[timid bobcat]

It's at the start of the game.

And loading the save didn't fix it.

[quiet ocean]

its the first time i heard of this

like getting soft locked on the tutorial?

[timid bobcat]

I had to uninstall it, delete the file (it was still there for some reason) and reinstall it and that worked for me, not other people.

[timid bobcat]

Yes.

[quiet ocean]

lol, starting a new game soft locks you again?

[timid bobcat]

There's a reddit discussion about it.

[timid bobcat]

Sometimes. I'll admit it's a bit rare.

https://discord.com/channels/750787322349355108/1288676833956724746

I made a "how-to-fix" guide.

[quiet ocean]

oh thats unlucky but that is hardly game breaking, its an annoyance tho, specially if you get it more than once

[timid bobcat]

It IS game breaking.

Unless people listen to my guide.

Which, nobody is.

...

[real moon]

when i played it back then i didn´t have a game breaking bug
not sure what it is

[quiet ocean]

it will break a save at best, unless you get it like serveral times in a row

[real moon]

only after the game i almost softlocked me
landed behind a dark wizard tent and got stuck
and i guess if you are stuff or are floating in a way you can cast spells or open the menu
i thought my save was done for
but i somehow managed to get out after like 10 min of trying

[versed charm]

wait, i'm curious.

what are the biggest differences?

[quiet ocean]

You can quite literally make more quest using the assets already there, change the scripts of stuff, making new enemies and overall so far i think you can pretty much do anything, not 100% sure if something is blocked, things that would be incredible hard to do with regular modding tools are easy to make with the kit (disclaimer i am not experienced enough in UE to know if there is some limitation, but from what i am seeing you can do a LOT)

[versed charm]

eh i don't know anything about UE, so a complicated explanation would essentially be explaining alchemy to a peasant lol

thanks, this is really interesting

[quiet ocean]

i have modded a bit in my life, but this is the first time i get my hands in something as potent as the kit they gave us and i am sure some ppl will be able to do some really cool stuff with it

[junior orchid]

I just started playing for the first time on pc. The game keeps crashing every time I click play mods on the menu screen, and I don't know why. Does anyone else have this issue?

[west thicket]

whenever i try to play the game it says this error, c:/program files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\HogwartsLegacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\HogwartsLegacy.exe" PhoenixCreateProcess[] returned 2.

ive tried like everything

idk what to do

[split plaza]

finding lots of beta materials in the creation kit

[fair plover]

releasing a patch would have been nice, the game is not playable it always crashes, dont think im the only one

[split plaza]

i havent played for awhile and dont remember crashes, but i remember having to jump through hoops to get performance decent, even tho my pc specs are more than capable

[fair plover]

if you havent played how would you know, after installing mods the game breaks

🥺

[brave plaza]

hii :3

[split plaza]

i had mods installed before to get it to run good 😅 i wasnt saying it wasnt happening to you, sorry if it came off that way

but i remember telling people for a year it didnt run good, and ppl would just tell me my pc sucks 😭

[fair plover]

no im just saying that since the mods have been released and after insalling a few the game just breaks, not trying to be toxic mb

well my pc does suck xd buuut i can run other terrible not optimized games too so idk xd

[split plaza]

oh

there was a patch yesterday.. that probably broke most of the mods

[fair plover]

is there anything you can write in launch options to maximize cores whilst launching the game ?

[split plaza]

not sure, i was using some launchers/installers to optimize the game before

ascendio and another one iirc

[dense knoll]

Is there a specific reason / requirement that makes all mods weigh more than 250mb?

[split plaza]

depends on the mod, but maybe high resolution textures?

[dense knoll]

No, I think every mod is 250mb or larger, even the sunglasses one

[split plaza]

"(Modern Glasses)
folder 45.6MB"

mods thru hogwarts legacy?

this is on nexus

its probably 250mb, because the file/folder its replacing in the files is 250mb

so it probably has the rest of the stuff that file has too

[dense knoll]

Yeah, every download says 250mb or larger

Huh, that’s weird

[dense knoll]

Oh I was talking about the thug life glasses

They weigh 265mb

The unlock all brooms mod weighs 249mb

[split plaza]

i dont see them on nexus

[dense knoll]

Maybe they’re only in game?

[split plaza]

most likely because those mods are actually replacing a file

[dense knoll]

That could be it

[split plaza]

instead of just adding it, they have to add it to the existing file, that probably is around that size

[dense knoll]

The lightest ones I have found are the dark arts makeup and alohomora autosolve, both at 48mb

[split plaza]

yeah, im not sure how the ingame modding works tbh.. but if i had to guess, i would say its because its replacing an actual file for those ones

instead of an addition to a mod folder or something

[dense knoll]

Yeah I feel like you’re right here

I’ll download the creator kit overnight. Tomorrow morning I’ll mess around with it and see what I can do with it (as a total noob with 0 experience on modding or game development lol)

[split plaza]

so am i

ive learned a lot just downloading things and tinkering around with them tbh

and with unreal, theres probably thousands of tutorials out there, text or youtube etc

[limpid nova]

is anybody else having issues accessing the mods even though they have linked their account

[pallid dawn]

is it me or the game just crashes when i load in

[versed charm]

the game restarts every time you start a new modded save.

[pallid dawn]

oh but everytime i press play it just crashes

[fervent pebble]

Anyone figured out if you can create custom voice packs with the Mod Kit?

[pallid dawn]

like i cant even play the game

[sharp grail]

^ I managed to fix that by taking out my old mods file and updating my graphics drivers

[limpid nova]

its weird it says failed to connect still

[robust palm]

Hey guys, I got a weird UI issue when using gamepad (on PC, steam). The button icons became large magenta words (such as [zhCN:Gamepad_DPad_Up|SWITCH]), yesterday was normal, and no issue in other games... Just wondering anyone got similar issue before?

[hardy wraith]

I'm afraid I haven't heard of that one, but my game refuses to respond past a loading screen despite all I've done to fix it.

I think they messed up the last patch/update

[tired rapids]

400+gb for a mod kit, y'all joking, right?

whats in that, all the assets?

im out. i need that space for projects that make money... i'll revisit when or if it can be optimised to a more sane size

[round quest]

Anybody having trouble on Steam Deck? The game is crazy slow with mods

[stable seal]

hey guys! i got the update yesterday and cant start the game anymore :( its always crashing. anyone knows what to do?

[desert grove]

do you have any mods?

nexus mods i mean.

[idle terrace]

🙂 hello

[stable seal]

nope :/ never used them

[hardy flint]

Since the mods, my game screen turns black and the game glitches. This has happened about 6-7 times in a span of just a few hours. This has never happened before the mods. Any ideas?

[placid quartz]

chat the creator kit is 93% save me 🙏 😭 downloading straight for 10 hours

[fickle stratus]

Hello is there anyone here who can rip me a hogwart legacy map
I willing to pay it
Dm me if you know you can,with your price

[placid quartz]

chat here we go 99% creator kit downloaded

[somber orchid]

Be prepared for another 30 minutes of preparing shaders

[placid quartz]

its the creator kit, im praying thats not apart of the creator kit

[somber orchid]

Oh it definitely is, anything you open for the first time is requiring shaders. And there is alot of stuff in there

[placid quartz]

its 400 gigs

chat the creator kit is HACKING me, opened up command prompts 😡 😡 😡

im joking but wtf did they delete under my computer files????

💔

@somber orchid you were right its compiling shaders for a good 13 minutes

[somber orchid]

Dont worry, anytime you open something it's probably going to do that for almost every asset 😄

[placid quartz]

@hidden trail @brazen pebble ?

[grave veldt]

idk if this is the right channel for this but is anyone else concerned about section 6 of the new eula or am i being paranoid?

[quartz mica]

im looking at the Mod Kit

And i may be blind or stupid, But, is Spell-Crafting Un-supported?

[somber orchid]

You can, it's just not as easily accessible as the Quest Editor

[quartz mica]

is there any resources for a walk through/

theres some spells i want to create. (DnD Spells mostly XP)

[somber orchid]

Don't think there are any guides other than Curseforge at the moment

[quartz mica]

we prob will also have to wait for a Script Extender to make some really cool things too ye?

also is it me, or are even small mods that only increase timers filesizes like, 250MB minimum

[olive nimbus]

Did any 1 add anything yet bc I can’t find anything new ?

[quartz mica]

to my knowledge, theres been one mod added since it came out, the other mod creators just got it

Dont expect anything crazy for like a month

[olive nimbus]

U mean the floo thing I think was create by a WB ppl I mean create by other ppl

[quartz mica]

im just wondering why

small changes are 1/4th of a GB

want to just have all tallent points unlocked, 250MB

Change your skin colour to green? 250MB

change a number from 30 -> 520

250MB

Why is it so large?

[empty gyro]

Hey guys, can anyone recommend a VR mod?

[sudden lily]

Anyone know how to add the steam game folder to curseforge app?

[empty gyro]

no clue of that, but why u would want that? U can download all the available mods ingame

[sudden lily]

I'm asking for developing mods, following one of the guides made for HL on CurseForge.

[empty gyro]

ah no clue just know that for creating/developing mods you need to use author curseforge and the HL creator kit:
https://authors.curseforge.com/
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/hogwarts-legacy--creator-kit

[sudden lily]

Yea, thank, it seems i downloaded the wrong curseforge app lol

Anyways, seems like Project Creation is not allowed yet., getting some kind of error on the authors webpage on the last step.

[quiet ocean]

its not easy, i have been tinkering a bit with it, but its a lot and there are no tutorials or anything so you just need to tinker we will probably get a lot of stuff after ppl figure it out but for now it might be slow

[sudden lily]

There's a bunch of guides here:
https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000258592-hogwarts-legacy-creators-getting-started

[quiet ocean]

that has nothing to do with the dev kit

[sudden lily]

I updated the link.

[quiet ocean]

cool thanks, i was going kinda blind i did google a bit trying to find some documentation but i did not find any thanks

[sudden lily]

Yea np, it wasn't apparent at first but I followed the link from a link that I found on the FAQ channel here on discord.. I'm checking on the New NPC guide at the moment, I'm not sure if I'll finish with anything today tho.

[quiet ocean]

yah i expect ppl taking some time getting used to stuff, we will eventually get cool stuff tho haha

[olive nimbus]

The outfits r not appearing for me

[sudden lily]

Yea I suppose getting all these tools its easy to get ahead of yourself but I think learning the basics first is the best way to start.

[half fjord]

#❓pcmod-faqs

[quiet ocean]

have you found anything with keybinds and controller stuff?

[sudden lily]

You mean for the devkit or adding keybind support in game?

[quiet ocean]

for the devkit, i really want to look how casting spells is done for example, so i can maybe keybind utility spells to RB instead of having to slot them

but i cant find PlayerController that seems to be what should controll all this stuff

[sudden lily]

I found a SpellCasterTool class but it doesn't look like it's finding the file properly

[quiet ocean]

i think some files are restricted, there are a few that i cant find with the find tool

and yah i have seen that tool too but without seeing how everything is working the chances of making it right are pretty low haha withou a lot of trial and error

[pallid sleet]

anyone know if i can still manually mod now coz my game kept crashing

[plush musk]

only if you downgrade your game, if you use any outside mod it will crash.

[pallid sleet]

thats alot of effort lmao ill pass

[quiet ocean]

this is not true, after the update mods are still usable

just not all of them

[plush musk]

might as well say they dont work in general if only few actually do

best option is to just wait to see if modders find a loophole

[sudden lily]

I wouldn't say a "loophole" is required, they probably just changed stuff in the update that made some current mods incompatible, I'm sure the unofficial mods would in a way still be allowed, just that it may take some time for the authors or experts in the modding community to find the reason why it broke.

[quiet ocean]

is not about a loophole is that modders need to update stuff, and most mod that do not use SQL changes will still work and there are a lot of mods that will keep working @pallid sleet just try the ones that are not changing SQL/need merging

[pallid sleet]

ooo ok ty

[plush musk]

loophole meaning any fix to make their mods work, same idea other words.

[flat flume]

In theory most modders might not even come back to mod the game considering how much of a hassle day one launch of a new update is and the dev toolkit being limited while it takes 400gb or was it 500 from what I saw

[halcyon loom]

excatly! i dont think most modders have 400gb free of space just to learn the kit and update their mod

[quiet ocean]

you dont need the dev kit to update old mods

the dev kit is to create mods that were not possible before that's all

[halcyon loom]

really? are you sure? i feel like i have to update my hair, outfit mod i made before the patch with the dev kit now

[quiet ocean]

you can, but you dont have to, the old way of modding is still working, they changed stuff so ppl might need to update their old mods but you can still not use anything from the dev kit and mod as you did before

[elder basin]

Avada kadavra

[quiet ocean]

and if you use the devkit i am pretty sure you are going to start from 0 making a new mod

[elder basin]

Stupify

Legilimens

Redut

[ionic meadow]

guys, I have a problem with the new update and I dont know how to fix it, maybe a few of u would help me

[ionic meadow]

I cant get logged on WB games account in game, so I bassically cant use mods

[atomic garden]

Is anyone else having trouble using mobs for HWL?

[quiet ocean]

contact support, nobody will be able to help you outside WB

[atomic garden]

Do you know your email?

[ionic meadow]

yep

[delicate pumice]

Sql mods generally do work... but cosmetics are ALL broken

And most mods were cosmetics

[quiet ocean]

i got the few sql ones screwed for me, i dont have any cosmetics tho

[delicate pumice]

I had a ton of them to the point that most named npcs were remade, now they're all back to their old selves

[delicate pumice]

I should rephrase, sorry, they weren't breaking the game at least (the sql ones) i don't actually know if they still work...

Cosmetics were literally crashing the game

[quiet ocean]

rip

[atomic garden]

The only mod I have dungeon of doom mod

[delicate pumice]

I had something like +120 mods, mostly cosmetics lol, all gone

[atomic garden]

And I can't get that to work

[delicate pumice]

I tried the battle pet one but my game was crashing

So yeah...

[atomic garden]

Yikes

[worthy nova]

I couldn’t even get to character creation, crashing instantly. Just gonna revert back to the previous version of the game tbh

[halcyon loom]

this is horrible so many people are crashing because of this new update and wanting to revert back

[real moon]

damn my poor FX is struggling with the compiling of the shaders
it takes quite a while

[flat flume]

all this to "bring the community together"

[flat flume]

i heard that the shaders also crash the game

from when i played

[real moon]

oh i was talking about the creator kit

[worthy nova]

I think the only mod that really saves my cosmetic issue is the dark arts cosmetic they added. But not for my male characters sadly

[atomic garden]

I can't load a unmodded character

[fickle token]

warner bros ain't letting me create an account

[tranquil island]

I can't access dungeon of doom. There is nothing at the place it should be here.

[quiet ocean]

probably a mod interfering with that

[subtle mulch]

I am trying to play my old, previously un-modded save with the new in game mods. I can't get the game to load at all through the mod menu. I am trying to load it with only 1 active mod. It just sits on the loading screen. Game isn't crashing or freezing, just loading. I am able to play a new save with mods and I can open the old save through the original menu without mods. Are we not able to play old saves with the mods?

[quartz mica]

did you enable it in the menu?

[deep cliff]

400GB

[quartz mica]

and every mod is minimum 250MB

[flat flume]

thats insane

[frail hornet]

Hey,

I can't load any saves from the game. I have crash log. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n0SrpJxSzJISGzLJjm5s4CLmvBulHZtW/view?usp=drivesdk

[quartz mica]

I know, I have no idea what they are thinking with filesizes

[quartz mica]

i do not want to click on a drive link

[flat flume]

its like 4 cods being 400gigs

[quartz mica]

the mod kit is big because its HL Files + Unreals kit.

thats understandable.

its not like Creation engine where its loaded per pak.

the mod file size though is wild to me

250MB for "Colour Change to green" is wiiiild

[frail hornet]

How do I give you the log?

[frail hornet]

One drive? https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvyFDXXBSZTTgwxtthWJjWfP75l_?e=BUuNRO

[tranquil island]

Yes i followed tutorials

[split plaza]

i'm really not having a good time with this update. not only have i lost all of my previous mods (fine ok i'll be patient and wait), but i've had to reinstall my game completely and now it keeps crashing whenever i get past the shaders screen. really disheartening.

[dense knoll]

Is there still no mods made by users who didn’t have early access?

[obtuse onyx]

You're probably best submitting the crash report to WB Support (https://go.wbgames.com/HPhelp), I don't think anyone can help with it here.

[quiet ocean]

not sure but the dev kit has a lot of stuff give em time

[worthy nova]

I hate to say this but copying Baldurs Gate 3s method like they did only to ruin it is a bad move.

[dense knoll]

I know, I just thought there would be people who would do whatever and uploaded. Although now that I think about it, I don’t think that kind of people would be willing to download a 400gb file just to mess around

[quiet ocean]

i think its a good move overall, beside the bugs

[quiet ocean]

yah doing whatever is not neccesarily easy hahaha i want to make something fairly easy and its still not that easy haha

[dense knoll]

I’m still downloading the kit lol

I left it downloading the whole night only for me to wake up and discover my pc crashed

[quiet ocean]

prepare to get a shader compilation hahaha it took my pc a while to get it

[dense knoll]

It was at around 50% when it happened

[dense knoll]

I’m scared bc my build isn’t that high range

I have 32gb ram, a 4070 super and a 7600x

[quiet ocean]

mine is and its pretty dam heavy to run, the shader part was really insane i have 64gb Ram a 4080super and a 7950x3D

[dense knoll]

How long did it took?

[quiet ocean]

and still took a good while and it still lags a bit but its workable at least, nothing too bad, the shader compilation is the part where you need to be patient b/c it will take like an hour

[dense knoll]

An hour?!

[quiet ocean]

yah first time i see my proccesor sweating xD

its a one time thing tho

after that you will ocasionally get some shader compilation but nothign like the first time

[dense knoll]

And I thought it took long when I loaded the game on my m3 MacBook using crossover and installed on an external hard drive

[quiet ocean]

(first time is like 280k shaders after you get like 5-6k at most)

[dense knoll]

(It took a few minutes, around 2-4)

[dense knoll]

Wow

[quiet ocean]

like opening new maps and stuff will pop a shader compilation but not terrible like a couple minutes at most

[dense knoll]

When I built my pc (around a month ago) I was wondering if it was a good idea to get a 2tb ssd. I’m now glad I did 😅

[dense knoll]

Is the whole game included on the creator kit?

Like could you play through the game if you wanted to?

[quiet ocean]

i think so not 100% sure, i loaded azkaban

and you can edit azkaban for example

and i loaded some random dungeons, my guess is the overworld is divided in parts and those i have not opened, so no idea

[dense knoll]

Imagine someone downloads the whole thing just to play through the base game because they dont want to buy it

[quiet ocean]

it would be a terrible terrible experience hahha

were you would need to mod your way into some semi playable stater

also running in engine the game just run much worse than in the actual finished game so while it might be posible _(not sure) its far from a pleasant experience haha

[dense knoll]

Yeah I’m sure it wouldn’t be pleasant

And if someone has a pc that gives them performance close to the finished game, they for sure have some extra cash laying around to just get the game

My download’s at 67%!

68gb left

[subtle shell]

hi can you edit player animations?

and shaders?

this would be the 2 things i wonder about.

Even of no, ty very much for a modding sdk.

[empty gyro]

Hey guys, can anyone recommend a VR mod?

[subtle shell]

yes new version will release soon

wwait a bit

[empty gyro]

oh that sounds perfect, can u link me the name or smth

[subtle shell]

coem to flat2vr discord

[quiet ocean]

i think yes

[thin quest]

hey so after painstakingly waiting for the kit to download and compile the shaders, i can launch the kit and run it. but whenever i hit play to test something itgoes on an endless shader compilation increase, reaching sometimes 400k+ shaders to compile. and then it crashes. is that some issue with the kit itself that either needs a bug report or integrity checking the kit? or is that something fixable

for reference: im running a 4080, a i7 14900, but minimum ram (32gb ddr5) and have around 500 gb space total for the kit (400gb occupied by the installed kit, leaving 100gb free space)

[cosmic iron]

I literally just joined here to say the same thing. Been trying to get ANYTHING in the editor to work, and it just never does; and I've been using Unreal Engine for 5+ years.

It would have helped if they atleast included some sort of Documentation of sorts to help us out

[thin quest]

im thinking some ddc issues maybe, or just something that they did not know would break if shipped to other people outside their workspaces

[wicked cairn]

New to this discord, can anyone summarize for me how long it is expected for more mods to get added to the official tool? I am surprised there arent some of the more "popular" mods like added content, companions, more complex npcs, etc?

[olive nimbus]

Is there the a video about the dungeons ?

[thin quest]

mainly due to restrictions on what mods can have as content

and the fact that nexus mods are not done with the kit

[wicked cairn]

oh i didn't realize there is restrictions for official mods.

[thin quest]

and many dont want to convert to the kit

[thin quest]

yeah contentwise, stuff like adult content or other stuff is not allowed (neither on curseforge nor by warnerbros)

[wicked cairn]

I'm less interested in adult stuff, and more just want people who add more complex systems

like npc AI, new levels/quests, etc

companion/followers

[cosmic iron]

More complex mods will certainly take awhile. But when they DO come out, expect them to be insane. The devs just esentially released the source code to the game, so anyone who works with UE can make anything they want. I expect to see total overhauls, total conversions, etc probably sometime within a year.

[thin quest]

and then there are the rights to the mod, and the issue with curseforge itself (many modders dont like curseforge - its not a nice company. hence why peopel in the mc modding community want to switch to modrinth and alr have moved to mainly modrinth)

[halcyon loom]

ive heard someone made a mod and tested it on their game by just inputting the file in the new mod folder without uploading it through curseforge

[cosmic iron]

Lemme try real quick

[thin quest]

that should also work lol - but it shouldnt be used as the "official" way is to privately upload the mod for you to test it

[median grail]

you can still use third party mods as long as they're compatible, so I guess you can just skip some processes with the "official" way too

[thin quest]

and then publish once its good

[thin quest]

so yeah if anyone finds answers to this, feel free to ping me

[cosmic iron]

I cant seem to get the curseforge mod to work to test it out. Im able to download my mod and install it but in-game it doesnt work. Simply tested a mod that tightens the field guide menu so i dont have to move the mouse around so much and it just wasnt working in-game through curseforge https://imgur.com/a/TBkJb4F

[drowsy ether]

Hello everyone, I am trying to use the Dungeon mods (Dungeon of Doom and Sam’s Dungeon), however the entrance does not appear. I have enabled the mods and loaded that save file with the mods from the mod loader thingy. In addition, I have also downloaded the Riding Dragon mod, and the dragon does not load when flying a broomstick, but the camera changes position. What am I doing wrong?

[tranquil island]

I have the same problem

You are not alone 😂

[quiet ocean]

most likely other mods conflicting with it

[quiet ocean]

@thin quest you guys have to just wait, that's going to be done once, afterward the shader compiling will be small when you load something not a huge one

[cosmic iron]

I have a 4060, i7 and 32gb RAM and it always crashes my entire PC when it reaches ~400k shaders

[quiet ocean]

you are barely at the minimum recomended for the kit

but if it does not crash instantly you should be getting them done

[thin quest]

as i wrote in my post if you had read it: the kit crashes.

it continuously increaes the shader compilation on the default map while playing

to like 430k 500k sometimes

and it never finishes, it just keeps rising

and at some point crashes.

[quiet ocean]

are you doing anything after opening it?

[thin quest]

ive tried: opening the kit, creating a new mod (any kind) and then hit play. i tried opening the kit then wait till all is loaded up, then hit play. i tried building and then hitting play. same result.

i tried everything. i validated everything, nothings corrupt

its completely abnormal to usual engine behaviour - i never had that happen ever in ue4/5.

[quiet ocean]

it is indeed odd, specially since i think my shaders went up to 300k the first time i openend at max

but doing stuff will make that number bigger ofc, like loading more stuff

but if you just leave it be its odd that it keeps climbing forever

[thin quest]

i mean the first time i opened it i had like 150k shaders to compile then it was all fine. i could fly around in the viewport and all was fine no issues. but as soon as i hit play it just creates more and more shaders to compile.

so thats def odd - if you hear of any news feel free to tag me, ill try as good as i can to keep an eye on this issue. but for now i cannot use the kit at all, since im not able to do any playtest

ill prob make a yt video showing the engine behaviour + log for future reference

[quiet ocean]

you need to let it finish the first 150k and then hit play, probably running into some issue when you get the extra from hitting play, i left it alone until it finished loading before hitting play

[thin quest]

i did lol. i only had to compile shaders the first time i launched. i let it compile all shaders it needed to. it ran all the jobs it shouldve. all was done, console told me all was finished and fine.

it never asked for any other shader compiles after the initial launch of the kit until i hit play

[quiet ocean]

so then you hit play and you get 500k again?

[thin quest]

but then it just keeps on rising

[quiet ocean]

yah thats too much specially for that small scene you start with XD

[thin quest]

my point xD

[placid quartz]

now how do i make custom clothes?

[thin quest]

i mean im recording this rn and hopefully it doesnt happen xD - but if it happens i have a record for youtube that may go haywire in views if this is not an isolated issue xD

[subtle shell]

anyone interested in VR, short teaser:

DUDE thats crazy!

[slate raft]

Hello, I'm probably uninformed about the future of HL, but are they planning to add other new thing and options after the mod update? I love this game and it would be wonderful to have new things to do and other things, but in these last times I wish just a little option: be able to change the character name. I mean, in a wizarding world we should even more be able to do it anytime we want, and it's bad, since this game is huge, to delete a character after nearly completed everything just because you don't like anymore that name. I have only one save for now and I have nearly completed everything, it's the save I've made at day one and deleting it would be horrible for me, I wish they could add an option like that, since I saw a lot of other people wants it too.

[thin quest]

well guess someone needs to develop a mod for that ^^

[delicate pumice]

Shouldn't you be able to do it with the character editor mod?

If you're on pc, of course

I remember completely changing a character once with that: name, house, everything

[clever flower]

please help me cant run on steam

disk error

[ionic plume]

Is there a place where we can go to request that people make mods for specific things? (Here, Reddit, or elsewhere?)

Not sure how far the modding community stretches

[subtle shell]

requests are usually rarely done, so just try every community you can find. maybe you have luck

[ionic plume]

Do you know of any common communities where modders are active or anything?

I have an idea for one that I think would be relatively simple.. I just can't for the life of me figure out the creation kit 😅

[subtle shell]

im quite new here too, only know this channel and harrypottergame

[quiet ocean]

This is probably true for a lot of ppl hahah but give it time ppl will figure it out

[delicate wedge]

any fix for WB account not syncing yet? it worked and connected fine before the update.

[ionic plume]

I'd keep trying but my PC died shortly after I tried to figure it out (It was already having problems, not related dw).. not waiting for the 400GB download agian 😂

I'll just be patient and see if someone makes what I've got in mind

[subtle shell]

you can always try to "inspire" people

[thin quest]

ok so apparently what ahppens to me is that it wants to completely recompile all shaders that exist for the game (that are not ui or maps etc.) and seems to randomly get some weird loop thing where it continues to compile more n more shaders. this also happens when altering the resolutions/quality settings, so set the quality beforehand or else if you need to reduce it, you have to compile all shaders all over again. i have gone through the process like 20+ times now and eventually it stopped at 290k shaders, compiled them all. then a few ten thousands more for the map and menus and ui. but in the end it seems that once it manages to recompile all shaders, its working smoothly. and if you save a project the shaders will still need to be recompiled upon reopening. meaning all 300k+ shaders. which takes ages just to playtest. but once those are done you can hit play as much as you want and it works smoothly

[quiet ocean]

And what is that you have in mind?

[fair cargo]

Hello

[solar merlin]

Hello everyone, I made a slight modification to a blueprint and it does what I want in the kit, but when I upload it and test it in the game it doesn't work. How exactly do I package a mod of an existing BP? Do I just put the modified BP in the mods content folder? Any help would be appreciated.

[hardy flint]

Hello. I have 2 issues with the game now. Game crashes when opening the map. Also, when I ride a regular broom, I can’t see my character. It’s like he’s gone under or behind the camera view.

[brazen epoch]

Anyone getting stuttering gameplay and drops in FPS since patch?

[somber junco]

the game crashes when i click on the modes tab

[flat flume]

The usual

[deep crypt]

Will there ever be a mod to roleplay this game?

[odd scaffold]

Anyone made their own mods with curse forge?

Apparently there’s a new mod making kit

[obtuse onyx]

For anyone experiencing crashing, be sure to make a ticket reporting all the details at https://go.wbgames.com/HPhelp if you haven't already. It seems pretty widespread so any information they can gather on it, the more likely a solution will be found.

[frozen rapids]

Hello, I'd like a clarification on a moderation guideline displayed on the website

I have been working on an MMO of Hogwarts Legacy for a bit and put it on the back burner for a while, and recently decided to come back to it following the release of the Creation Kit.

One mod guideline states that all mods MUST

Be made available to all users for free. Mods cannot be sold, licensed, or rented for a fee, nor can Mods contain features that would support monetary transactions of any type.

Does that include donations for the upkeep of server costs?

If the mod itself does not contain that feature, but players are able to donate through a third party payment's service like Stripe on my website, is that acceptable?

[half lake]

Has anyone seen something like this: [MOD_BROWSER_TITLEPLAYMODS]

I see this instead of the Play Mods button, and the entire menu is completely broken, I am able to download a mod but I can't apply it or start a save file with mods.

[half lake]

A day late but this is exactly what Im having

[polar turtle]

what solved it for me is I deleted the mods I had installed before the update

[half lake]

What kinds of mods did you have?

and were you able to reinstall them afterwards?

[polar turtle]

I had the ROR upgrado and some better lighting mods

i havent tried reinstalling them tho

[half lake]

I have the Immersive Mod Pack and associated files, better broom controls, and a mod that replaces the pants for skirts. The game still works fine, except for that menu

[polar turtle]

my dad also had some mod that made sirona's voice higher too. can't say I respect that decision

personally i was fine with it

[crude brook]

Well this is the Terms and conditions to be on the official modding platform, an online mod can't be on the official platform to begin with so this will still be a grey area and they will likely not give you the green light

[frozen rapids]

Is that in the rules that an online mod cannot be on the platform?

[crude brook]

It's not a rule, it's a technical limitation

[frozen rapids]

How so?

[crude brook]

Blueprints only, no native code

[frozen rapids]

Oh for fork's sake, really?

Can't write my own C++?

[crude brook]

Nope

[frozen rapids]

Welp, screw it then

[crude brook]

Lol I was also hoping there would be c++ but sadly not

[frozen rapids]

I ain't going back to using UE4SS to write my own C++

[crude brook]

Ue4ss isn't the way anyway

You need to dump a native SDK and reverse engineer some game code

[frozen rapids]

There's too much limitations with it, kind of hard to do things in a productive way

[crude brook]

Well it can be done

[frozen rapids]

Oh I know

[crude brook]

It's just painful

[frozen rapids]

I had implemented a game client and was sending packets between my own game server and the game

It was just basically a bunch of hacky ways

[crude brook]

That's the easy part, the difficult part is getting the game to do what you want hehe

Like I have been struggling getting other players to play the spell animations when they cast

[frozen rapids]

I was hoping the Creation Kit would solve the whole thing but

Meh.

[crude brook]

Na, it kinda helps understand how the game works but it doesn't help with the code

For example it helped me understand how the UI retrieves creature names

[sudden lily]

So im guessing making own spells won't be possible

[crude brook]

I think it's possible

[frozen rapids]

I don't see why not, I think it's just BPs

[sudden lily]

Is there a blueprint thingy for it?

[crude brook]

There is

[frozen rapids]

Oh well, cheers. Let me know if anything changes yamashi

[crude brook]

Btw our mod is built as a platform for others to create experiences on top of it

Like an MMO :p

We don't have plans to host servers or force decisions, we just sync stuff and make it easy to sync stuff through blueprints and c#

And we already tested with 200 players with a server on a raspberry pi, it worked great haha

[sudden lily]

No lag??

[crude brook]

Nope

There are videos of the test on youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCYGcrfkml8

[half fjord]

Also that HogWarp stress test was before tons of optimizations and broom sync so will look a bit weird (players floating) but is pretty good now

[tired geyser]

so it's going to be peer-2-peer?
might wanna look into something to at least act as an intermediary, or it might end up causing issues.

[crude brook]

People can host servers, we give the server files

[tired geyser]

ohhhh, okay. that makes more sense.

[sudden lily]

So wait it would kinda be like MC where people have their own communities and stuff?

[tired geyser]

i'm assuming so, yeah. they're just giving the tools, making the servers are on those who use the tools.

[crude brook]

That's the idea yeah, we already tested that official mods work fine

[tired geyser]

neat. :o

[crude brook]

So there is nothing preventing communities from building mods with the creation kit and ask players to install them

[tired geyser]

gonna end up being fullon gmod, where every server has it's own modpack. xD

[crude brook]

Hehe I hope it gets there it would be pretty sweet

[tired geyser]

yeeee :D

[sinful dagger]

I'm unhappy my character I took so long to construct with third part mods looks so bland now, as a male player but...

I'm hopeful for the future?

[sudden lily]

Thats super cool!

[tired geyser]

oh the mods'll be patched or replaced eventually, id give it a couple weeks minimum.

[hardy wraith]

Is the game itself fixed yet?

[lunar elbow]

Silly question, how do you access clothing and mount mods once in the game? I can’t find any of the mods I installed

[subtle shell]

wow, wonder if it works with uevr

[versed charm]

so HL is just crashing for everyone now?

[past oasis]

Define crash. My game reloads into shaders, and then runs perfectly afterwards, which I at first thought was a crash....

[versed charm]

seems a lot of people are having the same issue of the game crashing after the epilepsy attention screen.

especially after the new update

[subtle shell]

HAGS and latest nvidida driver can be an issue

[jolly olive]

Anyone else crashing constantly since the update? Moving from one area to another, trying to enter a shop, trying to leave an area, etc?

Everything worked fine before the update, I saw the update turned on Ray Tracing and was running very poorly, disabled that and reloaded but still running into the issues.

[versed charm]

updated the drivers. doesn't fix it

HAGS i don't know what that is

[subtle shell]

google

it´s the important part

[versed charm]

aha, so what is the issue with it?

[subtle shell]

it can cause issues

like your crashing ^^

[versed charm]

yeah and like 20% of HL players

[subtle shell]

yes

if you want hags some older drivers might help

[wind pebble]

i wonder if any one can help me... im trying to get my modded game to start but it wont load from either page

[rugged ether]

Hey, I want to ask how to fix the error when I start the game, it says couldn't start?

[novel depot]

Sounds like people are having a lot of trouble and I am too. Every time I launch the game on steam I see the warning but then it stops and closes the game. So frustrating. Is this happening to anyone else?

[winged mantle]

Yep me, i crashed like 3 times yesterday, even tried to load a normal game and still crashed

[novel depot]

Dang. I couldn’t even get into the main menu or anything

[winged mantle]

The update broke the game 💔

[novel depot]

[winged mantle]

Think it's a known bug, The devs hopefully will fix it asap

Everyone is having the same issue

[wind pebble]

thanks cuase i really want to use the mods

[winged mantle]

Same haha

[eternal flax]

i cant run my Hogwars game

if i press run the game its not running the game after update

i love this game

[stray yew]

if you have any mods, remove them

[eternal flax]

i havt any mods

i dont unse any mods

i reinstalled already

[stray yew]

what platform are you on?

[eternal flax]

pc

[stray yew]

try verifying the integrity of the files on steam

[eternal flax]

how?

[stray yew]

right click on the game, go to properties then installed files then verify

[eternal flax]

on steam or desktop?

[stray yew]

steam

[eternal flax]

can you german?

[stray yew]

english only sorry :(

[eternal flax]

pls friends i want send a screenshot

[versed charm]

started working for me when i removed all of the .dll files with "dlss" in them from
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Engine\Plugins\Runtime\Nvidia\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64

[versed charm]

doesn't work im afraid. more complex than that

it's a graphics / graphics driver issue

[stray yew]

@eternal flax

[eternal flax]

i remved it all than i try again to start

[versed charm]

i also have removed a file called sc.pcl.dll. i'm not sure if it makes a difference.

[eternal flax]

its patching new data

[versed charm]

my game textures were extremely broken though, i wouldn't trust the fix entirely

[timid bobcat]

anybody know abt the issue where it just says "You are not eligible for an account at this time."

[versed charm]

lol

well, you're apparently not eligible to have an account

[eternal flax]

Dude thx so much

Works
