Widescreen resolution | Only 4:3 aspect ratio is properly supported. See Widescreen resolution. | ||
Multi-monitor | |||
Ultra-widescreen | |||
4K Ultra HD | See Widescreen resolution. | ||
Field of view (FOV) | 90º by default. See Field of view (FOV). | ||
Windowed | Use -windowed command line argument or edit the StartupFullscreen value under [WinDrv.WindowsClient] in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Harry Potter\HP.ini . |
||
Borderless fullscreen windowed | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Use the DirectX11 renderer. | ||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | Use the DirectX11 renderer. | ||
High-fidelity upscaling | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | Edit the UseVSync line in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Harry Potter\User.ini . Note that the values here have been reversed: UseVSync=False actually turns Vsync on. |
||
60 FPS and 120+ FPS | No frame rate cap, but very high framerates may break physics and sound in-game. A supposed fix can be found here. (Only changing 0AD7A33B to 00000000 in <path-to-game>/System/Engine.dll needed). This fix does not work on physics so it's still recommended to cap at 60 FPS. Game stutters when running above 60 FPS. |
||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | The DirectX11 renderer only adds HDR Rendering. |

Unreal Engine DirectX 11 Renderer

It is compatible with both the Widescreen Patch and Mouse and Strafing Fix.[7]
DirectX 9 renderer for HP1
- Supports many modern features.
ESRGAN Upscale Pack
- Includes Widescreen title screens for International releases. Use with aforementioned Widescreen fix.

Language reset after installing fanmade patches
- Installing fanmade patches will usually reset the game's language to English in the European release. To change the language, enter the "System" folder on the CD. 3 folders named 0, 1 and 2 can be found there, containing the English (0), French (1) and German (2) language files respectively. In order to manually change the game back to the desired language, copy the desired folder somewhere and manually change all the file endings to .eng from .fre or .ger (i.e. HPcredits.ger renamed to → HPcredits.eng), then copy and paste the folder content into the "System" folder of the game's directory and overwrite everything.
Issues fixed
The game fails to start
- The game requires a form of DRM, known as SafeDisc implemented in secdrv.sys. Unfortunately, it is a gaping security flaw, and evidently couldn't be fixed without being removed. Microsoft disabled it in Windows 7 and removed it in Windows 10. The following has been tested in Windows 7 to work.
Temporarily start SafeDisc service[citation needed] |
