I set DLSS to ultra performance and I set the graphics to the lowest-possible setting - the game looked terrible with its textures due to the DLSS setting and still I lagged whenever I walked or encountered anything new at all. By this point, I had given up on Hogwarts Legacy, and I wanted to see just how much I would have to make the game look disgusting before it stopped stuttering. High settings didn't work, so I went to Medium. 'Blasphemy!', I thought about how my several-year-old computer couldn't run a new-generation title ultrawide in ultra settings - how dare it?!Īfter all the shenanigans had come and gone, I started to realise that it wasn't my PC struggling to run the game but the game itself (how could I ever doubt my PC?). 'Fine!', I said defeatedly as I went into the settings and reduced the graphics from Ultra to High. Opening doors took forever as I couldn't reach the other side until it loaded, and even then, I walked in and endured the lag spikes and stutters. I arrived at Hogwarts, went through the lacklustre sorting-hat ceremony, and continued to lag.

So when I launched the game, started on my quest with Professor Fig, and then lagged to hell and back, I just tried to ignore it and figured it would go away - surely, my old PC just needed a warmup.īut the lag never went away.

My idea was to jump into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on the 7th of February, and I even cleared my schedule as much as I could to be able to do so. The only allure for me and the Deluxe Edition was really the 72-hour early access (and the Thestral mount - I love you). So, naturally, the Deluxe Edition of Hogwarts Legacy is something that I personally didn't much care for: Dark Arts are things I'll likely never touch because I'll feel morally disgusting if I do. Despite there being several endings to some games, one of which is usually an evil run, I often don't feel comfortable enough if I don't have a halo and a holy light shining from above naming me an honorary angel. Now, I'm going start this off by saying that I'm a total goody-two-shoes I've come to terms with that - I feel uncomfortable being mean to in-game characters, and I feel morally disgusting if I even consider committing a heinous act in a game. Hogwarts Legacy is officially out, so now it's time to complain about it: I feel scammed by the game's Deluxe Edition 'bonus'.
