More than 20 favorited or uploaded mods were missing: December 2025 fix

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The December 3, 2025 PC hotfix records a fix for favorited or uploaded mods beyond 20 not appearing. It names build 1613387 for Steam and Epic and 1614419 for Windows PC. This is a dated list-display fix, not a current rule limiting a player to 20 mods or a guarantee that every downloaded mod can run together. [1]

Documented workaround

Installed mods do not apply to an ordinary save

Platforms: PCEvidence checked

Installing a mod is only the download stage. The support instructions say mods apply to Mod Saves, and provide a Copy Save operation to create one from an ordinary character. After selecting a Mod Save, the mod must be enabled and the changes applied. A downloaded mod appearing unused is therefore a reason to check the save and enabled state first. [2]

Documented steps

  1. Create or select a Mod Save, enable the installed mod for that save and confirm Apply Changes or Apply & Continue. [2]
Documented workaround

Official PC mods are unavailable without the required account link

Platforms: PCEvidence checked

The official PC mod instructions require a Steam or Epic Games Store account linked to a Warner Bros. Games Account. They direct players to Play Mods in the Hogwarts Legacy main menu. This account requirement applies to the publisher’s official mod system; it does not establish compatibility for an unrelated third-party mod. [2]

Documented steps

  1. Link the PC storefront account to the Warner Bros. Games Account, then use Play Mods from the game’s main menu. [2]
Documented workaround

PC crashes or instability: check drivers, files and graphics workload

Platforms: PCEvidence checked

Portkey’s Steam troubleshooting page recommends current video and sound drivers from the system or component manufacturer and includes checking installation integrity. It also explains that higher graphics settings can reduce performance and stability even when the hardware meets the listed requirements. These are publisher troubleshooting checks, not confirmation of one universal crash cause. [3]

Documented steps

  1. Use Steam’s Verify Integrity of Game Files for Hogwarts Legacy when the installation may be corrupted. [3]
  2. For performance or stability trouble, test a reduced graphics profile in the game’s Options menu and obtain driver updates from the relevant manufacturer. [3]
