Notes
|
Alt+F4 doesn't work
Instructions[citation needed] |
---|
|
Alt+Tab not working
- After opening the game, pressing Alt+Tab ↹ does not return to the desktop.
Before entering the game, open a folder or a TXT file and enter the game. |
---|
The game fails to start
- Error: "The game cannot be launched. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
Run PrinceOfPersia.exe as administrator[citation needed]
|
---|
Cutscenes are de-synchronised
- Running the game at 60 FPS or above causes cutscenes to speed up while audio lags behind.
Cap the frame rate below 60 FPS[13] |
---|
Notes
|
Falling off ropes during wallruns in certain sections of the game
- This usually happens in the Garden level and to users of High Frame Rate and Variable Sync Displays that turn off V-Sync.
Limit the frame rate to 60 FPS[citation needed] |
---|
Enable V-Sync and set the refresh rate to 60Hz[citation needed] |
---|
Crashes during cutscene after the first boss fight
- In the middle of the cutscene, the game crashes to desktop.
Enable compatibility mode in the properties of PrinceOfPersia.exe and set it to Windows XP (Service Pack 2) [14]
|
---|
Unable to use sand powers besides rewind/recall when playing with a controller
- This is a limitation of XInput Controllers when playing older DirectInput games. LT and RT are bound to the Z-Axis and do not register when held simultaneously.
If the controller supports multiple modes, switch from XInput to DirectInput and rebind buttons in the game options.[15] |
---|
Use bumpers instead[citation needed] |
---|
Use Steam Input to map the left trigger to the R key on the keyboard[citation needed] |
---|
