Hogwarts Legacy 7/12 Patch - Summer Hotfix

Hogwarts Legacy released a new patch today, aimed at fixing various bugs that have cropped up following last month’s Summer Update. The main fixes that the patch addresses are to ensure the “Dark Lightning Broom” can be obtained on old saves again, repairing wall collision in some dungeons, and some lighting updates.

The devs also note one crash that they are still working on. So, if you are still experiencing frequent crashes on PC after this newest update, the devs recommend that you turn of Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling in your Windows Settings (Specifically, under Window Setting > System > Graphics). The developers are actively working on fixing the crash, but that should serve as a temporary solution in the meantime.

Regardless, you can check out the full list of fixes that come with this new patch below:
