The game started in German, and I couldn’t change the language. Multiple sites told me how to change the language of the Epic Games Launcher instead. WTF??
Here’s the solution:
Find GameUserSettings.ini in localappdata%\HogwartsLegacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor and add these two lines:
[Internationalization]
Language=en-US
Now the game is in English.
CAREFUL: The game is overwriting this file. You need to do this every time you want to play the game or set the file to read-only. Which prevents you from changing some settings.


Re: 3, unfortunately, pirating the game won’t let you avoid supporting transphobic lunatics. The person who cracked the game is even worse than Rowling - as in, “makes Rowling look like a paragon of progressiveness in comparison” worse - and uses the download numbers for her cracks (and the fact she’s usually the only one willing to crack Denuvo) to justify asking for donations.
That’s a fair take. I deleted it promptly after playing, but anyone who is willing to fund empress’s insanity is a fool anyway. Yet, sadly, a whole lot of fools out there.
The game has been repacked by many people though. I don’t even know where to go to get it straight from the original person who cracked it.
Does the game still have denuvo nowadays?
