FPS boost (config file)
🎮 **A stable performance optimization solution specially created for low-end machines! ** Help you have a smoother gaming experience in Hogwarts Legacy with a series of carefully tuned profile settings.
✨ Main functions
This profile improves framerate by adjusting the following graphics settings:
- **Low Quality Shadows**: Reduce shadow rendering quality to save performance.
- **Reduce terrain and shadow vision**: Optimize distant view rendering and reduce load.
- **Disable Screen Space Reflections (SSR)**: Turn off resource-intensive real-time reflection effects.
- **Disable Subsurface Scattering (SSS)**: Turn off the light transmission effect used to simulate skin, wax, etc.
- **Use screen percentage with temporal upsampling**: An intelligent rendering resolution scaling technique that helps improve performance.
- **Enable some PSO cache functions**: Helps reduce shader compilation lags.
- **Additional streaming adjustments**: Specifically used to fix game lagging issues.
💡 **Please note**: These optimizations will increase the frame rate at the expense of some screen performance, and the specific effects vary depending on the scene.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
