If you’re playing Hogwarts Legacy with a controller, you might find that the camera movement is sluggish to a surprising degree. After all, it’s hard to get truly immersed in a game if you’re constantly fighting one of its most basic aspects on a regular basis. Thankfully, it’s extremely easy to make the camera movement faster and more responsive. All it takes is changing a couple of settings in the menu, and the issue won’t be nearly as much of a problem moving forward. With that out of the way, it’ll be smooth sailing.
How to Fix slow camera movement in Hogwarts Legacy
Pause the game and go to the options section. Then look for the ‘Gameplay Options’ menu, which is the fourth one down from the top, right underneath the ‘Audio’ section denoted by a speaker icon. Underneath ‘Camera-Relative Targeting,’ you’ll see a host of sliders for various camera options.
You’re looking for ‘Camera Sensitivity’ and ‘Camera Acceleration’ options here. These are both set to one by default, but you’ll want to change both of them. Boost camera sensitivity up to its maximum, which is 2. On the other end of the spectrum, you’ll want to set camera acceleration to its lowest setting.
With both of those changes, the camera should be notably more sensitive and will be free from any strange acceleration forcing it to feel sluggish or off. It’s an easy fix for making the slow camera in Hogwarts Legacy more tolerable, but it’s strange that the default setting makes for such an unpleasant experience.
