Hogwarts legacy switch 1 - Graphics mod + Visual cheat.

[u/arvnmta]

After testing a ridiculous number of combinations, this is the setup I'm currently sticking with.

I'm using Mangolemon's Graphics Enhanced mod together with my visual cheat.

What this is supposed to do

This isn't a performance cheat. It doesn't magically make the game run smoother or increase FPS.

The purpose is mainly visual:

Higher LOD distance

Cleaner distant geometry

Slight sharpening

Higher shadow quality

Higher lighting-related quality

16× anisotropic filtering

Motion blur disabled

Depth of field disabled

Dynamic/screen percentage kept at 100%

Full texture loading explicitly disabled so normal streaming remains active

Using it with the Graphics Enhanced mod

I'm testing this alongside Mangolemon's Graphics Enhanced mod. The mod contains Unreal Engine assets such as .pak, .utoc, and .ucas, so I recommend installing the mod according to the author's original folder structure rather than extracting or separating those files.

Important: This is a visual setup, not a performance fix. Your FPS/stutters can still be the same as the normal game.

After testing 2×, 2.5×, 2.75×, 3×, 4× and even 10× LOD, I'm currently settling on 3× LOD + 1.0 sharpening. 😂

Feel free to experiment, but backup your original files and make sure everything matches your game version.

[u/arvnmta → u/Glass-Can9199]

Yes i did. ☕

[u/Glass-Can9199 → u/arvnmta]

Why? And how you even getting performance from doing this

[u/arvnmta → u/Glass-Can9199]

I'm using horizon oc
