time dilator

Speed ​​up or slow down the passage of time in the game with one click! A blueprint version of the classic module Tempus Imperium.

Time Dilator

⏰ ** Take control of your magic time! **

✨ Module introduction

In Hogwarts Legacy, by default, a "game day" is equivalent to 48 real-world minutes. Sometimes it feels too fast, sometimes it feels too slow. This mod gives you the freedom to adjust the speed of time to suit your gameplay rhythm!

🎩 **Special Thanks**: This module is based on Rysel / S1yRuleZ’s original LUA/UE4SS module Tempus Imperium.

⚙️ Configuration variables (v2.2 and above)

You can adjust the module behavior by modifying the configuration file:

• **`TimeDilationScaleFactor`**: Adjust the magnification of time lapse each time. The default value is **2** (i.e. doubled/halved).
• **`TimeDilationDefaultMinutes`**: By default, the number of real-life minutes corresponding to 1 game day. The default value is **48**.

**How ​​to modify? **

Open your `Engine.ini` configuration file (usually located in `C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\`) and add the following (you can modify the numbers):

```ini

[/Game/CustomContent/TimeDilatorConfig.TimeDilatorConfig_C]

TimeDilationScaleFactor=1.5

TimeDilationDefaultMinutes=60

```

For example, the above setting means:

• Each time the acceleration/deceleration key is pressed, the time passage speed will be multiplied or divided by **1.5**.
• After reset, 1 game day will equal **60** real-life minutes.
