hi! i checked the official website for bug reports, tried almost everything and nothing works. My problem is 100% exactly like this person's problem (which i'll copy and paste below) // although im on epic games not steam
Infinite Loading Screen in "Play Mods" Mode – Issue Persists After Removing Mods & Reinstalling Game
Description of the Issue:
I am experiencing an infinite loading screen when trying to play Hogwarts Legacy in Play Mods mode. My normal save works fine, but when I try to load my modded save, the game gets stuck on the loading screen. Even after removing all mods using the Hogwarts Legacy Creator Kit & Mod Manager, the issue persists.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, then restored my saves, but the problem remains. I tried loading the modded save with:
One mod enabled → Still stuck on loading screen
No mods installed → Still stuck on loading screen
I also verified the integrity of game files via Steam, but the issue continues.
Additionally:
When I load my game outside of Play Mods mode, my progress is different from my Play Mods save.
I am unable to load any previous saves under Play Mods to check if it’s just that specific save file.
Troubleshooting Steps I Have Done:
Played in Normal Mode (Without Mods) –
The game loaded perfectly with no issues.
Went into Play Mods Mode and Uninstalled All Mods –
Tried to load my game with no mods installed, but it still got stuck on the loading screen.
Restarted My PC –
Played in normal mode first, and the game loaded fine.
Then, I went back to Play Mods mode, and it was stuck on the loading screen again.
Uninstalled & Reinstalled the Game –
Removed all game files and did a clean reinstall.
Added my save files back.
Tried launching Play Mods mode with one mod enabled → Still stuck.
Tried launching Play Mods mode with no mods installed → Still stuck.
Verified Integrity of Game Files via Steam –
Checked for missing or corrupted files.
Steam did not detect any issues.
The issue still persists.
Tried Loading Previous Saves in Play Mods Mode –
I cannot load previous saves in Play Mods mode to test if it’s only the latest save that is broken.
Request for Assistance:
Why is Play Mods mode still stuck even after removing all mods and reinstalling the game?
Is there a way to fix Play Mods mode without losing my progress?
How can I recover my modded save if Play Mods mode is not working?
Why does my progress look different when I load the game outside of Play Mods mode?
Is there a way to access previous saves in Play Mods mode to check if only my latest save is corrupted?
