    AMD Users: If you have a graphic issue or a speed problem then you need to do this. Edit Game.ini file and find the line UseVideoMemoryVB = False and change this to UseVideoMemoryVB = True . This will fix your issues.

    Another way to be able to launch the game if it still doesn't fit onto the full screen properly is to right click Game exe and click Properties, Compatibility, Change High DPI Settings, tick Override High DPI Scaling Behaviour, on dropdown box choose Application, click Apply.

    From the bottom of my heart I wish to say: Thank you so much ! If it weren't for your tutorial now I wouldn't be able to experience this priceless feeling of deep nostalgia right now ! Basically, since my HP2 pc game is lost (I only have the cd box but not the cd, very frustratingly), I thought I'd download the game from online. At first my game simply wouldn't start (screen would go black and then a fatal error would be displayed). Nonetheless I thought I'd follow your instructions anyway. I got a crack and replaced the .exe file with it and also followed your instructions for fps rate, the resolution and texture fix. IT WORKS LIKE MAGIC NOW ! I'm on a laptop with Win10 but I'll repeat the entire operation and have the game installed on my main pc. I have only 2 rather minor issues though:
    - Debug mod doesn't seem to be working but tbh that's a minor issue. Like I can't make Harry freeze and move around with the camera. There's a bug.
    - Is it possible to change the language ? Is there a possibility to get a french language pack and change the language of the game ? I used to play it in French and for a fuller nostalgia experience I need to play that game in french.
    I thank you heartily again for your time and experience and for sharing your fixes online ! I'm so glad right now I got my favourite childhood game running ! This game, even though it's a pc game, means so MUCH to me ! In my opinion it's the best HP pc game of all times because you can explore Hogwarts. They definitely should have persisted on this path for other subsequent HP games but sadly they didn't. Oh and I LOVE Soule's music for this game. This music is my childhood. Thank you ! You deserve a medal !

      @JokerAlex21  4 года назад

      Hey, did changing the Field of View not sort this as it sounds as though you have a rather zoomed in FOV. The other issues it could be that spring to my mind are that it could be a texture bug. Did you do the Texture Bugs Fix (11:59)? Otherwise you may need to try this, Another way to be able to launch the game if it still doesn't fit onto the full screen properly is to click Game exe and click Properties, Compatibility and set this to Windows XP Service Package 3, Change High DPI Settings, tick Override High DPI Scaling Behaviour, on dropdown box choose Application, click Apply. Then run the game and this should sort out any issues. I hope one of these may fix the issue if not then let me know.

I also ran it in compatability and overriding the High DPI scaling Behavior. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • @Dcat682
    @Dcat682 2 года назад

    If you're trying to run the game in windowed and you're only getting a white screen on launch the game's confused by your chosen aspect ratio. You'll have to change "WindowedViewportX=" and "WindowedViewportY=" to any 4:3 ratio that fits well on your monitor.
    I found the following settings to work well on a 1920x1080 monitor without cutting off any of the settings off screen. (The text is pretty small in the menu though).
    "WindowedViewportX=1400"
    "WindowedViewportY=1050"

    Like that of the first game, I completed my walkthrough of this game before I fixed the textures and increased the frame rate, but I don't really care that much. At least for future videos, such as a full walkthrough I have planned for the game, those changes will be obvious and I can perhaps play at a faster rate than I previously did. 👍🏻👍🏻
    So thanks for the help you provided in this video and the one for the first game! 😁

    Instead of changing the DPI setting every time, you can only set the DPI setting for that application to detect it as 100% scale. To do this, right-click on the Game.exe file and select Properties. Then click on Compatibility and "Change high DPI settings" buttons. Then check the "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Performs scaling by" option and select "Application" from the select menu below. Close the front window by pressing the OK button, and then close the main Properties window by pressing the OK button again. That's it! The game will now run at 100% DPI scaling even if the computer's home scale is 125% or 150%.

      Yea its what I recommend to everyone now for all the different fixes I've done now and these earlier HP1/2 fix videos are quite old now. At the time I remember this didn't work on either HP2 or HP1 and it wasn't scaling properly at all. Its not an issue any longer though.

      Yes or the high dpi setting on the exe file sorts this out on most games as well without needing to do the scale option. Go to the games exe file so game.exe and set high dpi settings. So right click game.exe, properties, compatibility, change high dpi settings, set high dpi to application in the drop down menu then ok and then apply.

    and maybe i will be helpfull too and show u how find your best resolution .. so this game is old and run (for better mathematic) 800x600 on old monitors so .. if 600p is 100% then 1440p is 240%
    800p is 100% then 1920p is 240% .. its simple matematic
    ( we have 3 axis (x,y,z) in our world but monitor is only 2d so x and y) just FullscreenViewportY or axis Y if u want is important for u ... that is what u need to find out .. i hope it will be helpfull.. my english is bad so srry if u dont understand :D

    First of all, thank you for the very nice and clear guide! I noticed one problem after performing the steps: It seems that Quidditch became way harder for some reason? Is anyone else experiencing this? I don't think it is related to the frame rate, because it also happens at "MinDesiredFrameRate=30".

I have to add that it has been some time since I played this game, but I remember not having problems at winning the Quidditch games before. I noticed this right away in Wood's training match. Of course, it is also possible that I just got very bad at it - that is why I asked if anyone else had the same experience.

So when i move the mouse fast it starts de-syncing and harry is not facing back to the camera. If I do it real fast I can even see harry's face and then the game fixes it, slowly. It's really bad for the moments you need to look around fast. Do you have any idea what could it be? I use AMD but made the fix in the description and also the frame rates'. Cheers!

I've also noticed that the gaps in between dialogue in your playthrough are noticably longer than those in mine.

      There are 2 methods. 1st capping the frame rate below 60fps can sometimes help. The other on the speed runners website there is a frame rate cap file that can be used that caps the fps to 60 and stops a lot of issues. However, if you use this you will have a frame rate counter on the screen at all times as this fix is used for speed running so if has to be there as part of their rule set. I cap my game at 60fps in the ini file and have no issues really but others do seem to have problems with the audio sadly. This is the best that can be used to fix the issue to my knowledge.
