Thank you man, I really appreciate your work. I've been trying to fix the fog glitch by myself for hours and couldn't do it. Can't believe I've found this video and I fixed it in a few minutes. Now I can finally play the game I loved in my childhood. Cheers !
Another fix to add: The camera goes crazy during fights and the floating sands on the ground move to fast. To fix this limit fps to 60 and enable vsync.
I know direct comparison is the most popular, but please continue this series. I couldn't even get The Sands of Time to boot up, but after employing these changes, everything is PERFECT and I get 1080p. Thank you so much, Nick.
As of now, april 12 2022 this file works also for uplay version of the game, but CanStretchRect after change value to 0, health bar is offscreen, after change to default value 1, everything ok. I have native 1440p monitor too. Game runs smooth as butter on win11 64bit. Cant say the same thing about SC Conviction. This game gave me nightmares, not a single trick form YT enables this game on my rig. Only Win7 32 bit works fine, on win10/11 64bit nothing works, nothing, I gave up on that game.
When you get to setting up controller how do you make those letters pop up next to move forward move right or walk toggle. I can't make my Xbox controller work with Prince of Persia through the steam store for anyting.
Brother, thank you so much for your help. I had a problem with the fact that at some point the video of my passage of the game began to lag heavily on the record, although everything was fine in my game. Now I can at least complete the passage through the screen recording)))
The guide is not detailed enough. Recently I've played again it. There are works around sound issues, Eax, Alchemy drivers on Win10. Possible crashes in the middle of game. Also there were nothing sad about frame limiter, joytokey for gamepad.. Unfortunately, the older PoP gets, the harder to run it ;(
Analogue stick still doesn't work all that great for me. Diagonal input makes the Prince walk instead of run. The analogue stick works perfectly fine in the other two PoP games - WW & TTT.
Anyone know of a solution for synching both the video and audio in in-game cutscenes? Otherwise the video plays too fast and the audio gets left behind to catch up. Solved everything, but this one problem still persists.
Thank you so much! Playing a childhood favorite. Do you know how to stop the camera from switching to those alternative views, for example when wallrunning?
its not registering my microsoft controller inputs (via wireless dongle). ok, scratch that, after some restarts, it does register inputs... but i cant set a button for the walk toggle
hope to see avieo on the 3d capter. And it needs to be fixed big time. Though I wasn't able to find fixes for a couple problems, like glitching health bar
I’m having a problem where I changed the resolution in game to the max setting prepatch but now every time I launch the game it minimizes and I can’t get back to the game to change the settings
I'm having a bigger problem. Even after deactivating fog, and doing all the fixes, its a very blurry, white screen and the leaves seem to have negative colouring. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Whenever I open the game it says my cpu is below minimum specs and that i have a Intel penitum 2 but i have a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400 CPU 2.90GHz 6 Coresmenus. I manged to start the game even though the buttons were off screen and it runs fine but menus and ui are streched off screen. I think that it is misreading my CPU and its making something happen so any help would be appreciated.
Got another issue, when playing on XInput Controller, Prince for some weird reason walks slowly when going foward, but when i play DInput Controller, Prince walks normally. Weird, huh? It's like PC port was NEVER designed for XBOX ones... :/
I can play this game with a controller unplugged, but when I try to do the same with Warrior Within and Two Thrones it doesn't work. It has to be plugged in for some reason. I had the same issue with Splinter Cell Blacklist. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks for the video, I have one question though. I have an in-game problems where the objects you can carry with your special action button get launched way too far away (I can't explain this properly) I'm at 81% and can't progress any further because the box i need to get gets launched on the stairs and i can't push it down the stairs. Is there any way to fix this problem?
Do you think I could get your help real quick? I went through the video and changed everything I needed to but the top and bottom of the screen is cropped and the HUD has been cropped as well
Hello, thanks for the video! Maybe do you know why I have to remap my pad buttons everytime i relaunch the game? Settings are there but pad won't work and I have to bind buttons again
this fix still works for me in 2020 win10 gtx 960m, BUT the only down side form using full res is the health bar not showing during fights or anytime. only when i go to one of the supported res for game and when i revert back to the patched res the health bar disappears again
@@rohithkumarsp I restarted my pc and that worked????? I have no idea what the hell was even making it minimize so at this point I was just praying on luck.
A note for anyone in 2022 who is an idiot like me: to set the controls in the game, you need to DOUBLE CLICK on the empty space where the button assignment shows up. Took me a half hour to figure this out, hope this helps someone else
I used universal widescreen patcher my first PC playthru. On a more recent playthru I used this newer widescreen fix. ps2wide.net/pc.html#popst It works pretty good, removes black bars during cutscenes, and even crops fmvs to fill out your screen better (tho I read it crops waaaay too much in really wide aspect ratios, don't use eyefinity). It's currently the recommended widescreen method on wsgf.
Very cool, I'll have to take a look at this one. Interesting, I posted this video pretty recently. Surprised people are still actively adding new fixes.
open steam go to library right click the game in your library list select "properties" go to the "local files" tab on the left select the "browse" button at the top Hardware is right there in the middle
thank you man, everything works fine with your guide, with one precision, you have to launch the game in "windows 7" mode (for example), because under windows 10 it does not work, gg for the job

Really appreciate this. Up and running perfectly, I've been wanting to replay this for years but've been unable. Thumbs up, and thanks.
3 years later and you are still helping people! Thank you so much, now I can stream this game without issues.
Straight to the point and well structured fix video i can't thank you enough.
5 years later this is still so useful, thank you :)
anyone here after the remake announcement?
Let's hope they fix the graphics and the main character's faces :S
@@ExpertEditz Farahs Face wasnt as bad as everyone said. She looked very beautiful.
indeed^^
Update: The fog issue is no longer present in GOG version, so dont need to change the value
I just installed it from GOG and it does have this glitch (again?)
@@Tocy777isback0414Download the latest version again, GOG version does not have fog issue
You're a freaking hero buddy. Love this classic, almost died when I booted it and saw the fog glitch. Thanks a trillion!
I randomly felt like playing this game and when I started, i faced the same issue . I really wanna thank you for solving this problem❤❤
you are awesome dude this video is helping people even in 2023.
This video is perfect, went from an unplayable foggy box on my screen to a perfect resolution with no stretching. tysm

This worked for Sand Of Time but when I tried this with Warrior Within it wouldn't let me type in my custom resolution
having a issue where I push forward on the left joystick the prince walks instead of runs is there a way to fix this?
Don't forget to tick the hardware.ini file to "read only". Othgerwise the game might change the file back to default when u boot up the game.
so I managed to fix the resolution but the fog is not fixable. Any idea on what to do? (It is cracked but I think the tutorial should work either way)
Make sure to save the configuration file.

You have to boot up the game first. Then, quit the game, and then the hardware file should be there :)

why don't you make a retro revival? about the Prince of Persia classic from 1992
