Bird In Hand Bug Fix

Versions

See the "Changelogs" dropdown just above.

Introduction

This is a fix for official bug number HL-19013 also known as the game-breaking "Bird In Hand Bug".

This bug has two causes. From version 3 of this mod onwards, the mod will attempt to fix both.

I am not affiliated with WB Games or Avalanche.

Installation

I would recommend installing the mod manually as described below. You should be able to install the mod automatically using Vortex if you like (then skip to step 4 below), but Vortex can be a bit unreliable with Hogwarts Legacy mods (it doesn't always delete mods properly) so beware!

• []Download the mod.

  []Unzip the contents.

  []Move the .utoc, .ucas, and .pak files to the Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods\ folder.

  []Install Blueprint Apparate Modloader if you haven't already.

  []Start Hogwarts Legacy

  []Press the F8 key to activate Blueprint Apparate Modloader.

  []Type BirdInHandBugFix in the little window and hit the Enter key on your keyboard.

  []The word BirdInHandBugFix should disappear and reappear lower down in that window with an X next to it. If it doesn't - if it stays on the top line - then either a) you put the .utoc, .ucas and .pak files in the wrong folder, or b) one of your existing mods is already using pakchunk 1042. Use my PakChunk Checker to check that. If you have a pakchunk conflict see the Conflicts section below.

  []Press F8 again to close the modloader window.

Usage

[]Hit ALT-e if the fight with the poachers has ended but the game does not progress.

[]The mod will attempt to fix the bug up to 20 times over the next 10 seconds.

[]If it fails you will see a message on-screen 10 seconds later to say that the bug fix failed. If so, let me know in the POSTS section.

[]If it succeeds you will see a message on-screen to s
