My goal is to find the solution to install both the English and German versions and to play them correctly on our WIn 10 圆4 machines (same solution may be applied for Win 7 and 8 as well). So, basically I actually installed and played this game 100% perfectly before I screwed something up, now I cant manage to even OPEN it again. I reinstalled the game several times without any success. Nothing happens if I open the pop3d.exe (no error message, the RedOrb intro video never starts etc. Here is the part where the problem starts, one day later I tried to install the german version and I was not succesful, I even broke the game completely, I cant even open the english version anymore.
Now the game worked 100% perfect on my Windows 10 圆4 machine and one more important thing, I never used any 3D wrappers or whatever they are called (ddraw.dll or dgVoodo), none so far. Now I applied some fixes from that site and this time I managed to actually load the game and play it mostly perfect, mostly perfect because I experienced some strange "lag" if I turn around to specific direction but after testing the game and playing it for a while, I minimized the game and open it again later and now the strange lag was suddenly gone completely (I didnt do anything besides minimizing it). Later on I managed to go to he menus with the unprotected exe I think but this time it crashed during the loading screen :/ man.ģ. At first try, the game will open, display the Red Orb intro video and after that crash to desktopĢ. I installed this game (english version, first download link) with help of tthat unofficial "popuw" site on my Windows 10 圆4 machine, QuickTIme 4 was installed as well and this is my experience so far:ġ. Any other settings I have to make to get this working under Win 10? Tried setting few compatibility modes but to no avail.
However, when I use this dll in my Windows 10 laptop, Prince of Persia 3D crashes to the desktop immediately after the RedOrb intro video. I had previously used this ddraw.dll on my Windows 8.1 desktop and it worked fine although with very little lag. The simplest solution is to make an image of the 2nd disc and mount it with Daemon-Tools or something like that. I've tried lots of things, but nothing works.
That's it!īy the way, there's a couple of textures that don't load, except from the CD.
Then just unzip it to the main directory. Download the latest version of this file, the experimental one, the v0.2.1 does not work with PoP3d. There's a better, simpler way for some games, and it works great for Prince of Persia 3D. They know it, hopefully it will be fixed eventually. Dalthnock: Yeah, dgVoodoo2 has a problem with some videos.
