    The best way to play Chamber of Secrets in 2024 is to install Metallicafan212's Engine & Editor. He actually ported the entire game into a new version of UnReal, made the game compatible with DirectX 11, added a bunch of graphical improvements, and has native 1080p support (including the UI). It also allows you to install and play the Extended Version of HP2.

    For those who also have the problem that big part of the screen is cut off: You have to right click on the desktop and go to Display Settings and set Scaling to 100%. On my 4k Monitor it was on 300%.

    Hi there! Ithink I-m facing a bug. Whenever Im doing the spells to unlock them, i always receive a very bad grade. I think it is because of the way the grading works, i saw a couple of videos on youtube and it should go slower but on my screen it does the grading quite fast, so I always get around 25-40%. So Im basically stuck in the Alohomora one. I dont know if you can help me somehow
