Widescreen resolution

By default, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time does not support widescreen resolutions. However, with a bit of modding, this can be changed.

(Please note that this method will cut off parts of the screen visible at 4:3 resolutions as the fov is not adjustable. 1400x1050 is an option for a 4:3 HD resolution.)

Issues fixed

Extreme Amounts of Fog

In certain cases, users may see an excess amount of fog in-game. This is apparent on the main menu screen (if all that can be seen is a lit torch), and in a number of areas within the game. To fix this issue,

  1. Locate your "Hardware.ini" file (typically located within the root folder in which the game has been installed), and open it with a text editor
  2. Change the following values as noted:
ForceVSFog=1
InvertFogRange=0
  1. Save the file
  2. Right click on the "Hardware.ini" file, and select "Properties"
  3. Check "Read-Only," and then select "Okay." Now, the game will no longer change the settings you just wrote.
