Did you update your graphics driver recently?

No but when I checked it says its up to date

I was asking OP but in your case if that's not the problem then I can't help you

try to disable shader caching.
Win+R
enter %appdata%
navigate out of Roaming
and go into Local/Hogwarts Legacy/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor
Open GameUserSettings.ini with your prefered editor or similar (its treated as a .txt file)
Scroll down to [ShaderPipelineCache.CacheFile]
beneath it, add r.ShaderPipelineCache.Enabled = 0
should look like this
[ShaderPipelineCache.CacheFile]
LastOpened=Phoenix
r.ShaderPipelineCache.Enabled = 0
give it a couple of min after doing what I listed
boreal jungle
oh ok

For me it always does that the first time I fire up the game after updating my graphics driver. I usually just have to let it cook for five minutes or so while it eats up my CPU and then after that it's fine

yes. you can also disregard what I posted and let it run for a couple mins at that black screen. if that doesnt work, then come back here and follow those steps.

was your [ShaderPipelineCache.CacheFile] at the super bottom after the [SystemSettings]? if so I might just manually add it in

IT WORKED THANK YOU
vague bolt
You're amazing.....
not me. it was just a lesser know fix that ppl reported as working for them. it's a known issue in a lot of UE titles.
