    From the bottom of my heart I wish to say: Thank you so much ! If it weren't for your tutorial now I wouldn't be able to experience this priceless feeling of deep nostalgia right now ! Basically, since my HP2 pc game is lost (I only have the cd box but not the cd, very frustratingly), I thought I'd download the game from online. At first my game simply wouldn't start (screen would go black and then a fatal error would be displayed). Nonetheless I thought I'd follow your instructions anyway. I got a crack and replaced the .exe file with it and also followed your instructions for fps rate, the resolution and texture fix. IT WORKS LIKE MAGIC NOW ! I'm on a laptop with Win10 but I'll repeat the entire operation and have the game installed on my main pc. I have only 2 rather minor issues though:
    - Debug mod doesn't seem to be working but tbh that's a minor issue. Like I can't make Harry freeze and move around with the camera. There's a bug.
    - Is it possible to change the language ? Is there a possibility to get a french language pack and change the language of the game ? I used to play it in French and for a fuller nostalgia experience I need to play that game in french.
    I thank you heartily again for your time and experience and for sharing your fixes online ! I'm so glad right now I got my favourite childhood game running ! This game, even though it's a pc game, means so MUCH to me ! In my opinion it's the best HP pc game of all times because you can explore Hogwarts. They definitely should have persisted on this path for other subsequent HP games but sadly they didn't. Oh and I LOVE Soule's music for this game. This music is my childhood. Thank you ! You deserve a medal !

      Hello!
      You can explore hogwarts on the azkaban PC game. I don't know about sounds, but you can have subs in aní language, you just need to swap some files in the system folder, though you need to get french files first.

At the beginning, when Hedwig flys by, i see him like 20 time, when he comes across the screen, also all the movments are blurry and see them mutiple times, stay there and don't disappear. I don't no what to do, chanche or downloade, so it will work just fine. I have a 60Hz Monitor Full HD and a AMD Radeon RX 5700 graphics card. i don't know if this has somthing to do with that.

    Like that of the first game, I completed my walkthrough of this game before I fixed the textures and increased the frame rate, but I don't really care that much. At least for future videos, such as a full walkthrough I have planned for the game, those changes will be obvious and I can perhaps play at a faster rate than I previously did. 👍🏻👍🏻
    So thanks for the help you provided in this video and the one for the first game! 😁

      Hey, did changing the Field of View not sort this as it sounds as though you have a rather zoomed in FOV. The other issues it could be that spring to my mind are that it could be a texture bug. Did you do the Texture Bugs Fix (11:59)? Otherwise you may need to try this, Another way to be able to launch the game if it still doesn't fit onto the full screen properly is to click Game exe and click Properties, Compatibility and set this to Windows XP Service Package 3, Change High DPI Settings, tick Override High DPI Scaling Behaviour, on dropdown box choose Application, click Apply. Then run the game and this should sort out any issues. I hope one of these may fix the issue if not then let me know.

    If you're trying to run the game in windowed and you're only getting a white screen on launch the game's confused by your chosen aspect ratio. You'll have to change "WindowedViewportX=" and "WindowedViewportY=" to any 4:3 ratio that fits well on your monitor.
    I found the following settings to work well on a 1920x1080 monitor without cutting off any of the settings off screen. (The text is pretty small in the menu though).
    "WindowedViewportX=1400"
    "WindowedViewportY=1050"

      You will need to change dpi settings most likely. So right click the game exe file, properties, compatibility, change dpi settings, tick on high dpi and set the drop down box to application and then ok and apply. This should then fix your issue I believe in not then it will be either and incorrectly written resolution or the ini file is being overwritten in documents.

    Hi my friend, fantastic work! I'm running into a weird problem though: my camera rotation isnt perfectly locked to the character rotation. So when i move the mouse fast it starts de-syncing and harry is not facing back to the camera. If I do it real fast I can even see harry's face and then the game fixes it, slowly. It's really bad for the moments you need to look around fast. Do you have any idea what could it be? I use AMD but made the fix in the description and also the frame rates'. Cheers!

      Usually this can be caused with the wrong language being selected. If you go to file explorer and find this C:\Users\Your user name \Documents\Harry Potter II then open Game ini and scroll down till you find the heading [Engine.Engine] then change Language= to your language this will always be 3 letters so for example Language=eng. Otherwise you will need to find the correct region (i.e. version) of your game.

    This is a wonderful guide - got my game working! However, I'm having trouble with dialogue skipping - near the end of each line of dialogue, especially during the narrated cutscenes, it'll suddenly skip forwards to the next line. I've also noticed that the gaps in between dialogue in your playthrough are noticably longer than those in mine. I'm running on an NVIDIA 3060 and Intel i7 Laptop, and have done the suggested frame caps and VSync, but to no effect - I'm not sure what to do now.
    Are there any other fixes for this? What worked for you? (I saw that you don't have this problem with your gameplay footage)

    • @JokerAlex21
      @JokerAlex21  Před 2 lety

      There are 2 methods. 1st capping the frame rate below 60fps can sometimes help. The other on the speed runners website there is a frame rate cap file that can be used that caps the fps to 60 and stops a lot of issues. However, if you use this you will have a frame rate counter on the screen at all times as this fix is used for speed running so if has to be there as part of their rule set. I cap my game at 60fps in the ini file and have no issues really but others do seem to have problems with the audio sadly. This is the best that can be used to fix the issue to my knowledge.
