After owners of a PlayStation 5 or Xbox One X/S were already able to start their own magical adventure in the fantasy role-playing game Hogwarts Legacy, the PC version now follows suit and enters the Early Access phase. However, some players of the Steam version complain about download or gameplay problems at release.

In this article, we summarize the tips and solutions suggested by the community and hope that they can help.

Although the problems with launching Hogwarts Legacy are mostly experienced by purchasers of a game key, some players who bought the game directly from the Steam store are also affected. If Hogwarts Legacy does not start, the following suggested solutions may help:

  • Do not launch the game using the Steam launch button, but launch it using the exe. file or desktop shortcut.
  • Open Steam and navigate to your games library. Right-click on the Hogwarts Legacy entry and open the properties. Under the menu item “Local files” you will find the option “Check game files for errors…”. Steam now independently compares the files on the PC with those of the game and replaces/adds missing or broken game files if necessary.
  • Navigate to the programs running in the background via the taskbar and then click on Steam and subsequently on Hogwarts Legacy.
  • Log out of Steam and then log back in. Alternatively, restart the Steam program.

On platforms like Reddit, some players complained about problems shortly after the Early Access launch of the PC version.

In addition to MMOGA support, the employee of the key seller Gamesplanet also commented on the problems. According to his statement, Warner is already working on the problem and is in contact with Steam about it. So the problems with the keys should not last much longer.
