Issues fixed
Error at Launch on Windows 8 and later
- The game by default uses a Direct3D render device. In recent versions of Windows this may cause an error at launch: LockRect failed: D3DERR_DEVICELOST. The following has been tested on Windows 10 to work.
Change Render Device[citation needed] |

|
Use dgvoodoo2 Wrapper[citation needed] |
---|
|
Frozen Imp
- During Ron's first Carpe Retractum challenge, the player will be introduced to the imp enemy which may become frozen after its intro cutsceen finishes, preventing further progress. The likely problem is a timing error with the cutscene's script.
Limit FPS[4] |

Secret Portraits not Opening
- During the game, Harry will need to collect passwords to open some portraits. Some of them will fail to open above 60 FPS. Likely the same reason as the Imp.
