Do i really have to wait an hour to download one of the seven files? After that an hour again..?
Anyone having issues with downloading:
A repacker named x.X.RIDDICK.X.x has the same update, same changelog but called “update 1”, but it’s compressed to around 900mb but needs around 35GB space.
Here is the link for 3 download sites: https://filecrypt.cc/Container/81F720A143.html
Passwort for the archive is: .x.X.RIDDICK.X.x.
Original source: https://boerse.cx/thema/hogwarts-legacy-digital-deluxe-edition-update-1-multi2-x-x-riddick-x-x.155689/
You have to register to see the post, Riddick is well known in the german scene.
Maybe gamedrive can compress the files aswell, as it seems like they can be heavily compressed.
Edit: And after installing update, go to EngineBinariesThirdPartySteamworksSteamv154Win64 and open steam_api64.ini
Change language to english as the update changes it to german.
WHAT DL 5GB MEANS?
DL 2GB ?
DO I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD BOTH ?
No, same files, but smaller parts. Its for convenience
Don’t download 5GB DL asks for username and password at 99% download
IF ANYONE FACING DOWNLOAD ISSUE

DL 5GB links will ask for user name and password at 99%
Refresh download link

yes that worked thanks a lot
downloading 5GB Links at 99%

same, any solution?
Refresh download link
do Google how to re fresh download link
Yes refresh link and it will finish
What is the game build after this update?
[Build 10530487][v1121649]
This “update” uses the old crack from empress so the build number doesn’t change, but it replaces around 35GB of files.
So this is not the same as the official update, it could make the game run better because it replaces a lot of stuff, but the new .exe hasn’t been cracked.
If you look at my other post where I provided a faster way to update, the repacker Ridick writes in his notes (translated by deepl):
“Important INFO:
Frankensteinbuild means that these are the current game files with the old crack [EXE] the game runs but it is not ensured that fixes will be applied or that any bugs will occur. For this by default the option Backup is activated in the second setup so you can
switch back to the old version but you need 35 GB of additional space. Nobody has to install it, it is only for testing.”

This site has the same update but much smaller at 84MB. That is why I am confused on the size, content and build of this 35GB update.
Thanks for the additional information.
Re-apply crack means?
1.I downloaded the final repack,installed.
2.downloaded this update.
3.copy paste in installed game folder.
Is it the correct?Please help.
Apply crack only
https://gamedrive.org/hogwarts-legacy-deluxe-edition-empress-crack-only/
does this work with the empress repack, the game I’m running is still the one she cracked weeks ago so don’t want to mess up my game if I have to download other updates first? only asking since the notes say requires build 10461750 (or above) installed and I’m not sure what to do
If have EMPRESS crack
Then just update this
No need others update
With the new update related today should we be waiting on a new cracked update or will this crack work with the newest version?
there’s a new update out now… when this will be updated?
i cant open my safe file after the update. i could see the list of my saved character inside the game, but when i selected it, the game came back to welcome screen. i can start a new safe file just fine, but i don’t want to do that obviously. anyone having the same issue as i have? any solution for this ?
any update for this problem ?
why update on dodi’s site”AiO Update v1121649″ is much smaller at 84MB? whereas this update is 35gb.
