Widescreen resolution

Custom resolution
  1. In the settings select 640x480 for 4:3 aspect ratio or 1920x1080 for 16:9. Otherwise image will be stretched.
  2. Use Cheat Engine and select the game's process.
  3. Add the addresses 008AE1E4 and 008AE1E8 with type 4 Bytes and set them to your desired resolution, though it must be less or equal to your display resolution. These are the width and height of the rendering resolution.
  4. Add the addresses 00B94AF8 and 00B94AFC with type 4 Bytes and set them to your display resolution. These are the width and height of the screen resolution.
  5. If you use another aspect ratio, add the addresses 008AE1DC and 00E6E544 with type Float and set both to Width / Height, e.g. 2.37 for 2560x1080. These are the post processing and rendering aspect ratios respectively.

Issues fixed

Choppy animations

Turn off v-sync[citation needed]

Disable v-sync through the graphics card control panel.

Stuck quests

Stuck quests[citation needed]
  1. Go to main menu.
  2. Select your save to continue.
  3. Make sure difficulty isn't set to Hard before loading.

Notes

Do not play with Hard difficulty. When Hard difficulty is active, NPCs sometimes don't move in the necessary way that progresses a quest/task and will remain in place. Turning difficulty to Normal fixes this.
One example of this is the quest where you meet Fred and George in the Transfiguration Courtyard, and after learning "Stupefy" have to duel a Slytherin student. Upon defeating him, he stands in place indefinitely instead of running away causing you to be stuck in the cutscene.
Another example is when you have to sneak into Umbridge's office for Ginny using the invisibility cloak. When you knock the pots off the tables, the students stand in place instead of moving towards the broken pots, preventing you from advancing the quest.

1920x1080 resolution unavailable from video settings

Force Resolution[3]

Copy the contents of the rar file into installation folder.

Notes

There is a crash on modern systems at the bridge area. The way to fix it is unknown.
Using this mod makes Level of Detail unchangeable. To workaround you have to change key in HP5 Config File in registry. Change from 1 to 2(in OptionLOD) for "High" graphics.
