Fixed texture loading and lag issues

Hogwarts Godlike Fix

✨ **The best performance optimization solution for "Hogwarts Legacy"*** ✨

*Only available in Hogwarts Legacy version v1117238 (Build 10461750)

🚀 Important prerequisite

  • **Startup method**: Please be sure to start the game from the `HogwartsLegacy.EXE` file in the following path:

`\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64`

  • **Disable Full Screen Optimization**: Full screen optimization must be disabled in the properties of the `HogwartsLegacy.EXE` file before launching the game!
  • **Wallpaper Engine Users**: If you have `Wallpaper Engine` installed, you need to create a rule so that the program automatically pauses when the game starts!

---

🛠️ Installation and optimization steps

**1) Adjust the streaming pool size (r.Streaming.PoolSize)**

This parameter value should be set to half of the video memory (VRAM), but it must not exceed 6144 MB, otherwise it will cause a memory leak!

  • **6 GB video memory graphics card**: `r.Streaming.PoolSize=3072`
  • **8 GB video memory graphics card**: `r.Streaming.PoolSize=4096`
  • **12 GB or higher graphics card**: `r.Streaming.PoolSize=6144`

---

**2) Motion blur settings (optional)**

If you enable motion blur when playing, please **delete** the following lines in the `Engine.ini` file:

```

r.MotionBlur.Max=0

r.Moti0nBlurQuality=0

r.FastBlurThreshold=0

r.BlurGBuffer=0

```

---

**3) Replace Chroma SDK plug-in file**

Replace the provided `CChromaEditorLibrary64.dll` file to the following address:

`\Phoenix\Plugins\ChromaSDKPlugin\Binaries\Win64`

---

**4) Replace engine configuration file**

Replace the provided `Engine.ini` file to the following address:

`C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Phoenix\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor`

---

**5) Clean shader cache (vital!)**

Be sure to clean the shader cache at:

  • **Game own cache**:

`C:\ProgramData\Hogwarts Legacy`

  • **Additional cleanup for NVIDIA graphics card users**:

`C:\Users\\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\DXCache`

**or**

`C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\DXCache`

---

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. 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.
