Hogwarts is a really poorly optimised game.

People get very confused about RAM, adding more doesn't improve performance at all unless it's being used.

But you're no where near 32Gb usage yet, I wouldn't suggest upping it. 4Gb spare is an awful lot, if you were overrunning it would be at 100% usage and you'd see the pagefile being written to (in hard faults)

If your hard faults reading is very high than that's a different story.

It has been confirmed that Hogwarts has a memory leak as well, so it's not actually using the amount that it's reserving, it's a bug that needs fixing

Does anybody else have this problem i got good enough ram to be able to run this game i got 16 gb + i got low fps around 40 at random times and sometimes it drops to 15 fps for like 10 mins long. I got a 2070 and a ryzen 5 5600x

It appears it's related to the VRAM (video RAM) running out, not the RAM, then it's offloading resourcing to the RAM. You need to adjust your video settings

So it doesn't matter how much RAM you put in, the game will swallow it until the bug is fixed. But it's not actually using that RAM, it's just allocating it.

It won't make any difference upgrading to 64Gb, you don't need it.

I'd get ready for a few of these threads given the reports from the game so far

Brill Thank you. I Have done what it stated. Updated DLSS, Exploit protection etc etc. I have now set everything to high. Gone to place where the was really bad stutter/lag Before i was getting 30fps. Now in the area where i was getting 30fps. I am now getting 80-90fps. What a difference that as made lol.

Windows 10 and 11 are REALLY good at managing memory. One of the goals of memory management is to use as much RAM as you can - because the CPU can only access code and data that's already in RAM. Keeping as much regularly used stuff in RAM as you can is the best use of this expensive resource. That's what Windows memory management does; it keeps RAM as full as it can - but also manages what's in there.

Now, seeing a peak usage of 28GB in a 32GB system is bad - because you're wasting 4GB of RAM! I'm serious, if Windows isn't filling all your RAM on peak load, then you already have too much RAM.

@carlos726811 expect the performance of this game to improve over the next 6 months as they iron out some bugs.

Unfortunately it is more and more the case that games pre patch 1.0.0 are actually Beta versions and were being used as live testers.

I'm getting a generally (99% of the time) smooth 80+ FPS using my 3080Ti on high setting with DLSS Quality and RT-off...but I still get random freezes/stutters for a couple of seconds.

Sometimes it's just a lack of response to controller inputs...so I can see the environment still moving at it's normal FPS, but I can't move or trigger any actions.

Sometimes the whole screen freezes for 1-5 seconds and then just carries on for the next couple of hours as if nothing is wrong.

...and sometimes it will just slow down to a stutter doing less than 1 FPS for 5-10 seconds.

I've DDUd and reinstalled drivers, I've even used NVTrimmer to install just the bare minimum required to support the GPU, and have even had a couple of 'patches' when I've launched Steam (no idea what they were for, but they were less than 200mb each) but nothing has made any significant difference.

Next attempt will be to try this fix (which may or may not be included in the bigger list above)...

I've been meaning to give a few of these fixes a try but it's been a busy weekend. Glad that they seem to work!
