Author of YouTube channel KyoKat PC Gameplay Benchmark compared to Official and pirated versions of Hogwarts Legacy. As a result of the test, it was revealed that the version hacked by Empress hacker works much more stable.
During testing, the pirated version showed an average of 15-20 FPS exceeding the licensed version of Hogwarts Legacy. This advantage of the hacked game is due to the fact that the original version comes with the exclusive Denuvo anti-piracy software, which negatively affects the overall performance during gameplay.
But soon after the release of the video, the author corrected it in the comments, noting the mistakes he made. The official Hogwarts Legacy worked a little better after an enthusiast turned off Stem Overlay, the part of the interface that pops up above almost all games running on Steam. At the same time, the difference between the pirated and licensed versions is still noticeable and was around 5-10 FPS in favor of the modified version.
