In the comments fans have been playfully poking fun at the tremendously lengthy list of fixes, “That’s all?” replied one. Another said, “Hogwarts legacy devs, if you are reading this, please get some sleep”, and a third joked that the patch notes are “longer than the Harry Potter books”.
Included in the update are fixes for general issues such as the slow load times when entering and exiting Hogsmeade shops, as well as NPC’s voices sounding muffled. It also fixes various aesthetic issues, including one that saw “several outfits clipping through the lower back of the coats” and, rather more alarmingly, “Edgar Adley’s eyelashes detaching when blinking.” There’s also a heap of UI and performance fixes to improve the Hogwarts experience for Switch players.
