I’m still amazed by how broken this game is. I saved somewhere inside the Minding Your Own Business Haunted Hogsmeade mission, >!after buying the shop in Hogsmeade!<. Now the game will not load properly.
When I load the save, there is no image, only a black screen. The game itself seems to be running, because I can press buttons and hear spells being cast, movement sounds, etc., but I cannot see anything. I also cannot exit to the menu (or at least I cannot see the menu if it opens). I left the game running like this for about an hour, but nothing changed.
I had a small number of mods installed, around five, all related to clothing. I tried disabling them and loading the game without mods. I also tried loading it again with the mods enabled. In both cases, I still get the same black screen.
I have already tried updating GPU drivers, verified game files in Steam (did not find any issues), fully reinstalled the game, run in windowed mode. Also tried to delete the Paks folder and let the game download it again.
Also tried disabling cache: https://www.reddit.com/r/HarryPotterGame/comments/10z97ft/hogwarts_legacy_black_screen_fix/
None of this helped, the problem remained unchanged :/
I do have other saves, but they are all old and from different characters. They load fine.
UPD: Lol I managed to die blindly, and the screen refreshed. Now I can see the game scene, but there is no GUI and nothing is happening. It looks like the scene itself is broken.
I can't enter a menu, nothing happens on ESC or F-buttons. But I can use spells....
And the exit is closed.
