|
Cutscenes are de-synchronised
- Running the game at 60 FPS or above causes cutscenes to speed up while audio lags behind.
Cap the framerate to any number under 60[10]
|
- Nvidia users can use
Nvidia Control Panel or Nvidia Inspector to cap the framerate to 59 or 58 FPS in the game specific profile.
- AMD users can use
AMD Chill or Framerate Target Control option to do the same.
Notes
- RTSS framerate limit does not seem to work on this game.
|
Falling off Ropes during Wallruns in certain sections of the game
- This usually happens in the Garden level and to users of High Framerate and Variable Sync Displays that turn off V-Sync.
Enable V-Sync and set the refresh rate to 60hz
|
Game crashes during cutscene after the first bossfight
- 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 [11]
|
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 using a Controller that supports multiple modes, switch it from XInput to DirectInput then rebind all Gamepad buttons in game options.[12]
|
- For XInput Controllers:
Add an XInput to DirectInput translation layer and configure triggers as buttons[13]
|
- Download XInput Plus and extract it to any folder.
- Launch XInput Plus.
- Set the Target Program by browsing to the
<path-to-game> and selecting pop2.exe .
- Go to
DirectInput tab and check Enable DirectInput Output .
- In the same tab, click on
LT/RT and select Button 12/13 from the drop-down menu.
- Click Apply; this will install a DLL file to your game folder that will automatically be used when you start the game.
- Start the game and rebind the triggers in Options.
