Mouse Sensitivity Issues
Gaming mouses with customizable DPI settings do not work correctly. The mouse sensitivity changes (supposedly switching between the mouse's default an custom dpi) when entering certain locations (e.g. when leaving the great hall and entering the courtyard). The mouse will temporarily differ in sensitivity till the spell button (left mouse button) is pressed. This does not happen with standard mouses that do not have customizable dpi settings.

Issues fixed
Error at Launch on Windows 8 and later
- By default the game 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.
Instructions[citation needed] |
---|
|
Change Render Device[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[6] |
---|
|
Change to OpenGL Renderer[7] |
---|
|
Use dgvoodoo2 Wrapper[citation needed] |
---|
|
Toggle between fullscreen and windowed mode[8] |
---|
|
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.
