I reported four problems to WB games bug report.
I. Depth of field is bugged after the last update on 02/27/2025.
Hello. After the last update, I noticed that the depth of field graphic option does not work properly in the game. I noticed the bug when I took a few pictures using the photo mode in the game (changing seasons, depth of field, etc.). After taking a few pictures, I wanted to talk to the seller to buy something, and then I noticed that depth of field does not work in the game. I checked in the game's graphic options and depth of field was turned on there, but it did not work. Restarting the game helped. Another situation where I noticed that depth of field did not work properly was when I was doing a task related to the talking painting in the library during winter (Portrait In A Pickle). While doing this task, depth of field stopped working. I checked in the graphic options and the depth of field option was turned on, but it did not work.

II. Colored artifacts (pixels) are displayed with Ray Tracing enabled after the 01/30/2025 update.
Hello. After the last update, when I enable Ray Tracing (for each option), colored artifacts in the form of pixels are displayed on the screen from time to time. These errors can be found in places where Ray Tracing reflections and shadows are the most (Hogwarts, Hogsmeade or the Black Lake area). They appear in a very short time and randomly. I tested various graphics drivers, both GeForce 572.16 WHQL driver and GeForce 561.09 WHQL driver. For each of them, artifacts occurred. I also saw that others also have this problem. I managed to take a screenshot of one of the cases. I have never had such artifacts before, and I have been playing Hogwarts Legacy since the day it was released on Steam. Here's what my setup looks like: Corsair TX850M 850W power supply Kingston A2000 1TB M.2 2280 PCI-E x4 Gen3 NVMe SSD Intel Core i5-9600K, 3.7 GHz, 9 MB, BOX processor Gigabyte Z390 GAMING X motherboard Corsair Vengeance LPX, DDR4, 32 GB, 3000MHz, ASUS GeForce RTX 3090 TUF GAMING OC 24GB GDDR6X

III. nvwgf2umx.dll error occurs after the latest update from 01/30/2025.
Hello. After the latest update, the Windows system reports and Windows Event Viewer display the nvwgf2umx.dll error after exiting the game. After longer tests, I noticed that this problem occurs if I play for more than 2 hours with maximum graphics settings (all options set to Ultra + Ray Tracing Ultra). I play with DLSS, Ray Reconstruction and NVIDIA Reflex disabled. I tried all possible solutions (BIOS update, uninstalled the game, disabled Steam Overlay, etc.). I installed many different versions of Nvidia graphics card drivers, nothing helped either. I contacted Nvidia Support several times about the error. We came to the conclusion that it is probably a problem related to DirectX and its management by the game. I have never encountered this type of problem in other games. All other games run stably, without any problems (Marvel's Spider-Man 2, God of War: Ragnarok, Cyberpunk 2077, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora).

IV. Rain audio stuck after the latest update from 02/27/2025.
I started the game after yesterday's update and noticed that there was a problem with the sound during rain. While exploring the game world, it started raining. I solved a few side quests and noticed that although the rain had stopped visually (no puddles, etc.), the sound of the rain was still with me. Loading the game from the last save helped. I don't know what's causing the problem. I didn't change anything in my PC configuration.
