#Game crashing on start screen

Is this....PC?
yes
Thats what I was thinking. I play on ps5 and switch. I will try to help how I can. I am no game genie, though.
Please include what you have done
Nothing, I just went back to play the game and that’s it, it closes and that’s it, I tried a bunch of methods such as “indicating how much memory will be used when starting the game” “deleted the saved file” “updated the drivers” and so on
and nothing can't help me
If a PC Steam game freezes on startup, the most likely culprits are outdated graphics drivers, corrupted game files, background applications interfering, or not meeting the game's system requirements; try updating your graphics drivers, verifying the game files on Steam, closing unnecessary background programs, and checking if your PC meets the game's minimum specs; if the issue persists, you may need to further troubleshoot by adjusting power settings, checking for conflicts with antivirus software, or even reinstalling the game.
I've had this problem since last year, when I got my new high-end PC, and sadly, I haven't found a way to fix it, even after writing to the support team when it first appeared.
I would be interested in seeing if anyone has any way to fix it. I have seen in the support channel on the website that it isn't just one type of PC specs; it's a few with different specs, so I have no idea what is happening.
same problem here
anyone found a solution for it?
Same issue. Exact same issue
Joey's fixes did not so anything for this instance of the issue
I used to have this same issue on my PC when I first downloaded the game, and I would have to delete the shaders files every single time and it worked fine - but since this update, that no longer appears to be possible. Since it doesn't get past the loading screen. My drivers are up to date, all the files are verified, my graphics card is decent and I have no background programs operating. It's a real shame.
Those were not "my" fixes. I was doing research for someone. I was simply trying to help in an area that isn't my expertise. I don't mess with PC gaming.
No worries. I appreciate the research. I just put that in for any devs reading so they knew they might not work
Me and two of me friends are having the same issue, all up to date drivers and all have 40 series cards, not sure if related and we've never installed mods
I fixed the issue by deleting the sl.pcl.dll file in the SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Engine\Plugins\Runtime\Nvidia\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64
it still crashed for me
strange, that fixed it for both me and my friend but it also seems that frame gen is broken without that file
I'm having the same issue. Just crashes for me at the same spot
Guess we have to wait into they fix this bug
