IF YOU CAN'T FIND THE FOLDER IN THE FIRST FIX, IT CAN APPEAR AS PHOENIX INSTEAD OF HOGWARTS LEGACY

Just for information: its says in the description on the Ascendio website quote: "Make sure GPU Hardware Scheduling is OFF on Windows's advanced display settings.". So i would probably skip fix 4 if running the mod

[Boo-p]

OMG, this actually helped so much! I don't drop to 15 fps anymore when running around! Thank you so much!!!

[dragosmihalcea]

Wow, what a difference in reducing the stutter and having a constant FPS. I have a laptop 5600H with a RTX3060 and I had huge stutters on Medium with DLSS Performance on 1080p.
After your guide, I have it on DLSS Quality and almost no more stutters inside the castle especially. Clearly works. Thanks a lot, got a new sub here :D

[GeekyJamesB]

Thank you so much for this! No more issues at all. Before this, I made it to Herbology and during the cutscene my FPS dropped to single digits. Since this guide I have never dropped below 55ish. Thank you again :)

[HRANaylor]

This made a massive difference! Still seems like it could be better optimised but not having the massive drops anymore

[icespirit]

The difference between before and now is truly magnificent thanks to your insightful and helpful tutorial. Thank you for making the game enjoyable for a wider audience.

[HadiLePanda]

Thanks a lot for this guide, my game is now fully smooth around 60fps and there's no stutter. Really appreciate it <3

[seemly]

thank you, you earned a sub since you actually helped me with this issue rather than what other youtubers did

It's been a month, and things changed a lot. The Ascendio mod page says the newest update breaks the game _and_ the mod. But the modder also gives a lot of other tips unrelated to the mod, like limit the memory usage (because the game suffers from memory leak), and also explains that some stutters are due to broken core features.

But thank you for the video. I think it did help a little in my case, although the Troll fight in Hogsmeade was unplayable even with all these tricks.

[luizfxp]

it worked smoothly for me, I have a RTX 3060ti & I5 8400, i was struggling with FPS drops all the time (~20), and now I have 60+ almost all the time. Thank you very much!

[derdruckerflusterer]

The Setting for Cache Size did the most for me after trying almost every fix out there thanks dude. Funny side note I had those drop Problems with Dead Space Remaster as well and the fix solved this Probllem too

[Fineas]

Yes Guys, for all of you that are looking for a proper guide to boost your performances with the gam, you found the right guide it made the game playable for me and i think this will do the same for you as well.
Thanks for the guide man, you are a lifesaver 🥰

[fallefel]

Worked fantastically for me. I did every fix mentioned.

[StillNightingale]

Thank you! Even with just the inputs in the ini file, it runs with barely any random fps drops.

[SuacoRV]

Great this actually worked. My problem was the stutters i had even with 60-80 fps in Hogsmeade. Now everything is smooth even if i drop down to 60 fps.

[tekeliinn]

Worked like a charm. Much appreciated ❤️

[RCLUTCHUP]

Just by copy and paisting the engine text it has made a massive difference to the game on a 3060ti.. thank you.

[Magicmushroomboi]

For fix 4 I would advise doing that one last and closely comparing performance to see if it actually helps, because it can drastically improve or degrade performance in different games, it is better to keep it off and only turn it on for games you notice a performance improvement with it, else you are going to have a scenario where you pull your hair out wondering why a specific game runs terribly, it is also notorious for causing issues with VR games.

Also it was not super helpful if you play with raytracing, however it did get me a bit less drops at 1440p ultra with ultra raytracing. In this case the old 1.0.3 profile helped while the recommended made it worse.

Dude holy crap thank you for this. Ive been searching for hours trying to fix my fps. Great Video Dude!!
