The game pre-compiles all the shaders on first launch like Call of Duty does

Can't say I've seen that much RAM usage. I have 32GB ram and doesn't go past 17GB.Mmmmh, played 4 hours yersteday without any crash in native.
Activated DLSS3 and frame genaration and now it's crashing after 5 minutes.
And the game has some massive memory leaks

I played for two hours straight without any crash, with DLSS3 FG all maxed out in 4K and my 32 GB RAM never got above 24-28 GB usage with my browser opened and several game launchers in the background.Mmmmh, played 4 hours yersteday without any crash in native.

Could it be something else like Nvidia Shadowplay ? I had one of its process use 12 GB of RAM before restarting its service.

If youre using reshade or similar stuff, disable them. Doesnt work with FG. I had that happen with A Plague Tale and had no idea wtf was causing it until i realized I installed reshade on it.

When it crashed, did UE4 show an error? What did it say?

Playing 4k DLSS quality and FG on with all settings ultra even RT with added command line in the engine.ini at 4 samples / count.
Not one single crash.
Gigabyte 4090 OC undervolted
7950X
32GB DDR5 6000
2TB SN850X Gen 4
Win 10
Ram usage is 21gb
Vram usage is 17-18GB
Running between 90-115 so far 3 hours in. No stuttering.
Can't really complain about anything for obvious reasons.

Tag, you're it.
Ah so this is it. Too bad because I added a bit of sharpening and vibrance and the game looks a lot better. I guess I'll have to use Nvidia game mode.
Anyway thanks for the information!

Yeah I also use reshade for most games because the nvidia one eats more frames when adding extra effects through it like better colors/cotnrast/sharpening, more than reshade anyway.

It never crashed on my PC.
What I said is, could the RAM usage be another process like nvcontainer or something Nvidia related ? Is it really the game ?

New drivers but no mention of Hogwarts but apparently updates nvidia inspector with the game profile so we can turn on rbarr

Performance has been great in the castle but I’m getting stutters when I was going into hogs Meade. 4090/5900X everything set to ultra.
Hmmm you should fight this then. I placed a 3 game order with voidu including SE Hogwarts Legacy months ago and got it refunded 2 weeks ago in order to get deluxe from GMG.
Update the games DLSS file using steps here (assuming you're even using DLSS):
And turn off VSYNC in-game and enable it in nvidia control panel. These 2 changes almost completely eliminated stuttering for me.

Just asked and received the refund a couple of hours ago and already bought the deluxe.Hmmm you should fight this then. I placed a 3 game order with voidu including SE Hogwarts Legacy months ago and got it refunded 2 weeks ago in order to get deluxe from GMG.
I was confused because most stores have a cancel the preorder right there in the order page but i had to send an email to ask refund for voidu.

Oh I see, thats good then. Yeah these keysites tend to make you jump through atleast 1 hoop if you want your money back. I asked for a refund from cdkeys for Atomic Heart about a week ago (just gonna play it on gamepass) and they had the nerve to come back and ask me why I want a refund lol. None of your business, just give me my damn money back!

I've been running 16gb RAM and well...........I just ordered 32gb RAM lol. Should arrive tomorrow. I found out the hard way that 16gb RAM is really only 14gb RAM.....pc noob here.
I have a lower end setup though (3050Ti, Ryzen 5 5600) and while the game runs 1080p 60 fps on low settings 90% of the time, I will randomly get stuttering/hitching. It doesn't ruin the experience but I could use the RAM anyway.

So i forced v sync from the control panel, i also shut off rtao since it didnt seem like it was actually doing anything. Now i can use frame generation and im getting almost a locked 120 fps with dlss set to quality and everything set to ultra
rofif

yes. This is a proper way with vrr. You have to force vsync in nvcp as it is not exactly the same vsync as without vrr. It's not only a ceiling but also removes tearing which otherwise could still happen with vrr.
But do disable vsync in game for sure.

Luckily it seems to be performing fine on my 4090/13700k/32gb DDR5.

So if i forced it in the control panel, i should disable it in game, in a game like deaspace or cyberpunk for instance

Yes this is the general rule. Not sure if hogwarts is an exception

anyone updated to the new nvidia driver? any improvements or degradations?
you literally have one of the most powerful gaming pcs and you think you're lucky it's running well??
you can't be fucking serious?

What settings do you "max out" in the nvidia control panel? Just for curiosity...

I have the framerate set to unlocked with vsync turned on in the control panel. I might lock the frame rate in the control panel to 100fps as I’m getting dips from 116 to 90 as it is now. Courtyards in the castle also tank the frame rate.

I'm sorry, but you have to enable the resize bar on a game per game basis? what if i turn it on globally from inspector?

Can anyone confirm this loss in performance after installing the new driver?

That is more like it, first part of game is optimized, the rest is a stutter fest mess.

Hmm performance went to complete shit for me in hogsmead, had like 24fps during the troll fight.

I don't want to be spoiled or anything but it turns out that my criticism about the performance in the school at the beginning of the game is somewhat warranted. It does seem to have a lot going on for the ray tracing or whatever settings are at play. Apparently it gets even better and more normal on even the steam deck it's just that school section has a lot of stuff going on apparently.
That's good to see you considering I just talked to a couple of teachers and it seems to me like the map is ready to open up for me to leave the school. I was getting about 100 to 144 FPS before I hit some of those school hallway sections which really pushed the variable refresh rate since it dip down into the 50s.

Yeah, game runs fine only during the first part, yet another case of sell today and patch tomorrow. Playing Uncharted ATM I can see now why Naughtydog are considered wizards.

For anyone wondering, today's Nvidia driver release does have a "Game Ready" driver profile for Hogwarts Legacy. Nvidia just chose not to highlight it because they probably don't want to get canceled for mentioning it or something.

For me big time. After the drivers are updated I'm getting choppiness and fewer frames. Last night I rarely ever dipped below 60fps and had no hiccups or choppiness. I have that today.

I was there last night getting 60. Today getting those huge dips there.

I think the game does some weird rendering stuff where it loads assets depending on where you point the camera, causing extra shader compilation.
At the mission where you have to meet Sebastian at night, it spawns you on top of the stairs.
Looking forward doing nothing I'm seeing 75+ fps
Slowly moving the camera to the left 45 degrees and there's a visible and reproducible hitch/stutter, dropping the fps to 60 before recovering stabilising back to 75+.
Doing a full spin quickly keeps the game hitching so much it drops to ~44 fps, immediately recovering back to 75+ if I stop.
Waiting for a few minutes seems to have compiled all the shaders of this camera based asset loading, and now I can spin the camera without any hitching or drops....
What is the point of the game compiling shaders on startup, if it's just going to keep doing it throughout the game.
The start of the game is very smooth, so maybe it just compiled those specific shaders?

This early access shit is pissing me off. I have the vanilla version preloaded on Steam but cannot play because I didn't buy the deluxe version. Now I see adds saying you can get the game on PS5 early if you preorder any version. So basically making some people pay extra for the early access but giving it to others. Such a bullshit Macro Transaction. I am pretty sure we will see more of this type of "innovation" in the future. I am expecting Preorder before embargo to get game on platform X a week early or buy the DX version to get the same on the other platforms.
