Full screen mode in Hogwarts Legacy: how to change the resolution

Hogwarts legacy is a very demanding PC gaming project with high technical specifications. At the first start, players who do not have a powerful console or a modern video card often have a question about how to enable full screen mode in Hogwarts Legacy. The answer can be found in the instructions below.

How to enable Hogwarts Legacy in full screen mode

Initially, you can select windowed or full screen mode in a window from the Hogwarts Legacy options menu. By default, the maximum resolution available to the system is set. This is not very convenient if there is an excellent monitor on the 's desk, and a relatively weak video card renders the picture with a creak in the system unit.

Lowering the rendering resolution in Hogwarts Legacy will result in a loss in quality more than a performance gain. Using this setting will not help solve the problem of low FPS.

How to change the resolution in Hogwarts Legacy: pirated and original

Since there is no preset "Full screen" setting in Hogwarts Legacy, you will have to turn to the game's configuration files. config with name GameSettings.ini lies in the same place as Hogwarts Legacy save folder:

C:\s\[]\AppData\Local\Phoenix\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor (for Empress hacked version)
C:\s\[]\AppData\Local\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor (for original)

Instead of [], you need to open the folder of the on whose behalf the game is launched.

You can paste in the menu bar "Explorer" shortcut:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Phoenix\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor (for hacked version from Empress)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor (for original)

To edit GameSetting.ini, use any system text editor (Notepad, WordPad, NotePad, NotePad++). To change the resolution in Hogwarts Legacy, inside the open file, find the following lines and change their values (you can enter your own version of the width and height of the image, or use the classic FullHD):

ResolutionSizeX = 1920

ResolutionSizeY = 1080

LastConfirmedResolutionSizeX = 1920

LastConfirmedResolutionSizeY = 1080

FullscreenMode = 0

LastConfirmedFullscreenMode = 0

Use the keyboard shortcut "CTRL+F" to quickly find the lines you need. You may have to enter other values, as shown in the screenshot (1200 pixels are required to fully fill the screen of the author's laptop).

After saving the values entered in the config, you can start the game. Now the display mode will not be specified in the settings. However, the performance gain from reducing the resolution will be clearly visible.

In the future, do not touch the windowed settings in Hogwarts Legacy to avoid resetting the changes made.
