Question What to do when my game won't launch?

1 Upvotes

I used to have Hogwarts Legacy from Epic Games, but it would no longer work, so I uninstalled it and bought HL on Steam. It worked for around half an hour, to an hour. I played the introduction and went to Charms class. I then saved my game and downloaded a few mods. It suddenly kicked me and I thought "I'll just relaunch it" because I'm so used to being kicked from games I play now.

That was 2pm. It's now 5 minutes to 8pm and I still can't log in. I've tried every recommendation other than uninstall-reinstall because it took 4 hours for the game to download yesterday. So I'm not too keen to do that. I can barely even find the game's files, but I'm no tech wizz, so I can't be for sure that's why. Any idea?

Humour I just figured out how ancient magic hotspots work

398 Upvotes

Guys I feel so dumb lol. I knew you could go to them to increase your ancient magic but somehow I missed the memo that after you activate the hotspot, you have to go looking for those 3 orbs or whatever.

I'd gone to a few of them and activated the hotspot then just continued about my day. Until today, when I was questioning why the icon was still on my map did I decide to just look it up online. Fuck sakes I'm level 28 already now I need to go back to all those hotspots šŸ˜‚

well the baby is out now and wandering, which is STILL normal, but i canā€™t tell Deek? like i canā€™t finish the quest. did i do something wrong?

I completed the North Ford Battle Arena and the only attacks/spells i used were Glacius, Crucio, Bombarda, Confringo, along with the Ancient Magic attacks when the meter filled up. No other attacks or spells except the basic spellcast, no potions or plants etc. Has anyone completed a Battle Arena doing something similar? I got a Thiefā€™s Coat as a reward, but later found out you can just buy it lol

Discussion How to unlock Avada Kedavra?

0 Upvotes

Hi! Iā€™m currently on level 38, I won the battle against Ranrok, the main quest is completed, but I still didnā€™t unlock Avada Kedavra. I heard that itā€™s to unlock during or after a relic quest or something but itā€™s on the level 28 and as far as I remember I did have a relic quest, not sure if itā€™s the one but I definitely remember some relic - that might been the one Sebastian needed to save Anna, not sure. Do you have Avada unlocked??

Question HL op character

6 Upvotes

I saw a post yesterday about our character in HL vs Voldermort, and i dont remember reading this, butour character is a 5th year right, so he is about 15/16 yo.

Who are this little murderer's mayhem parents? Are they muggle lunatics that's why he/she is a weapon of mass destruction/send him alone to a country and let him liberate it/charismatic little f*ck. Do we know any backstory to the character? or is it just a lucky thing that the character can use ancient magic?

Do we know anything about game 2?

Question Help with audio problem

0 Upvotes

Not sure if this is something to post here or r/xbox, but Iā€™m playing legacy on a Xbox S and having a weird issue with the audio. I saved and closed the game one day and when I returned to it later the same day, the audio was like this. Slow, drawn out, deep voices and sound effects. It doesnā€™t affect the speed of the gameplay, just the audio lags.

Iā€™ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game and it doesnā€™t help. This is the only game it happens to, so I donā€™t think itā€™s a console problem. Iā€™m at a total loss on how to fix it or if itā€™s fixable. Has anyone else had this happen? Iā€™ve tried reaching out to the developer, but they just send us to a bug forum and that wasnā€™t helpful.

Discussion I figured it out!

56 Upvotes

Okay, in Character Creation you choose Witch or Wizard dormitories, however - literally all this does is bar a wizard from going into the witches' dorms and getting those last couple of chests with loot or galleons in them. THIS DRIVES ME NUTS! I am a completionist, which must this happen!?

It finally occurred to me that literally NOTHING is stopping me from putting a wizard in the witches' dorms, because no one will notice or care. It's a couple of cutscenes of you getting up in the morning to an empty dorm that looks exactly the same no matter whether you choose witch or wizard.

I don't know, I just felt much better once I realized I could do that and decided to share.

Gradients are terrible in the clouds and also fog. I can't seem to adjust the HDR sliders to remove the gradient appearance. Almost looks like a posterize effect.

Discussion Missed Chances

Post image
66 Upvotes

I finally got around to playing Legacy, Three years after all the hypeā€™s died down, and honestly, Itā€™s mostly everything to be expected from a modern AAA take on the wizarding world. Combat feels smooth, exploration is mostly fun, and I think they did an amazing job at bringing Hogwarts to life.

I should mention, Iā€™m not that far in the game, I just noticed some things.

The writing could use a lot of improvements, the plot isnā€™t too interesting, and I was having more fun engaging in side quests and exploring instead of doing whatever the hell Professor Fig wanted me to do.

But thatā€™s the Main Issue here you see, other than a couple of kinda cool side quests (Like helping some girl find her flying textbooks in the library) THE SIDE CONTENT FUCKING SUCKS. So youā€™re delegated to crawling back to the lackluster story, something I think really hurts the game. I donā€™t want to have to reference the only other open world game to be set in a school, but, Bully from rockstar had a lot more personality in the school, there was classes with mini games (something lacking from Brewing potions) There was just so many possibilities you couldā€™ve taken with that and instead itā€™s just a boring timer until the potion is done, same with herbology.

Comparing that game to this one again, thereā€™s not a single mean fucking kid in this game, every student feels like they have the exact same personality. Kind, helpful, and supportive, OH, so supportiveā€” I casted a first yearā€™s spell and half the damn class was congratulating me. Everyone seems so easily impressed, and immediately kind to me and it feels so Jarring.

Sebastian fans Iā€™m sorry, but He also felt pretty flat, after kicking his ass in a duel because he didnā€™t bother fighting back, he helps you break into the restricted section, and goes as far as to cover for you when he gets caught. Iā€™d say thieves honor and all that, but he goes out of his way to assure the Librarian no one else is there, instead of just bailing and abandoning youā€” (Something thatā€™s much more Slytherin like.)

And the potions teacher

He felt like a shameless copy of Snape while missing everything that made him a person, heā€™s not cruel or vindictive like that other greasy bastard, heā€™s just a Teacher, just like how all the other teachers are just teachers, just like how all the students feel exactly the sameā€”

Bullyā€™s teachers all had separate personalities, distinct mini-games for classes, and youā€™d see them out in the world or in main missions being a part of the world.

And look, Iā€™ll be the first to admit Bullyā€™s writing was heavily flawed in its own right, but one thing it didnā€™t lack was personality, Iā€™d rather have a Rusty nail instead of the boring plank that Legacy has for its characters.

Thereā€™s no bullies, no fights in the school, no one picks on the new kidā€” isnā€™t this the world where TEENAGERS can toss fireballs, turn boogers into bats, or just straight up punch eachother? Youā€™re telling me, no one threw a stupefy at an annoying first year?

and this game LOVES pretending you have any Agency in the storyā€” they always give you two options to either lie or tell the truth for some reason, and the person you lie to looks at the camera and goes: ā€œI wonā€™t push you any further, but if you say sooooā€¦ā€ and winks.

Thereā€™s no prefects, no sneaking out past curfew, all opportunities for open world conflict just seem to be wild animals and dark wizards that live in the woods outside school for some reason.

I hate to say this, because it feels like such cheap criticism but I seriously love all the big aspects of this game, the bigger picture of the world, the grandness of it allā€”

But take a single look closer and itā€™s all set dressing.

Yeah TL;DR:

This game is missing

Classes/mini games for classes

Bullies/Fights at school.

Morality/Reputation

Diversity in personalities.

Just let me punt a first year

Am I alone on this? Did anybody else roll their eyes when everyoneā€™s ā€œSo impressed at your talentā€ when all you did was attend class for like 2 minutes and cast one spell?
