None of these are guaranteed fixes for Hogwarts Legacy performance issues, and all we can really hope for is a performance patch and Game Ready driver updates. The most common fixes include the following: The reported frame drops and crashing seem to be a symptom of Hogwarts Legacy’s current state, and there’s little we can do as of yet. Nvidia have yet to release their ‘Game Ready’ drivers that usually follow the launch of a game of this scale, although some users have reported that there is a Hogwarts Legacy profile in the latest driver release. In fact, some people are going as far as rolling back their drivers, which you find out about here.

That said, there’s enough people finding issues with the drivers to suggest that there could be something there. It seems as though the problem isn’t caused by specific drivers, but Hogwarts Legacy’s lack of optimisation in general. It seems as though the original poster of the report jumped the gun slightly, as the responses suggest that the latest Nvidia drivers aren’t actually the issue.

The report in question was noted on the Steam Discussion page for Hogwarts Legacy, and was headlined: “DO NOT UPDATE NVIDIA DRIVER TO LATEST”. However, after gamers updated their graphics card drivers to the latest 528.49 update, there were several reports that the latest drivers were causing issues with the game loading properly. It seems as though they’re taking their time releasing Game Ready drivers for the game, while Intel seem to have beaten them to the punch. Nvidia launched their most recent drivers on February 8th, though there was no mention of Hogwarts Legacy included. Are the latest Nvidia drivers crashing Hogwarts Legacy? It seems as though the game still needs some polishing off, and there’s even been a few reports that the latest Nvidia drivers are the problem with Hogwarts Legacy’s performance. Hogwarts Legacy early access has been here for a few days now, and while we’ve enjoyed a few bugs such as the main character turning blue, others relating to frame drops, crashing, and black screens on launch are less amusing to us.
