Hi guys! unfortunately the game Prince of Persia: Warrior within for computers has numerous technical problems, that's why I decided to create this guide, I will teach you how to improve your experience, so that you can play in a pleasant way.

(OPTIONAL) Before continuing, I recommend that you do a clean-install of the game.

● The operating system used was Windows 10 with the latest version!

Many players have trouble launching the game because they don’t run it as an administrator. If you’re not experiencing issues, you can skip this step.

To fix this bug, you can try two simple methods:

● Modify a file in the game's root folder.

● Download and apply a small fix if the first method doesn't work.

1) Go to the game's installation folder and locate the game icon shown below.⬇️

2) Right-click the icon, go to Compatibility, and enable Administrator Mode.

> That should resolve the issue, and the game should now start successfully!

For the second method, we’ll use a file to enforce Administrator Mode for the game!

1) Download and extract the file.⬇️

2) Run the file "POP2 (x64).REG."

3) Move the file to the game’s installation folder.

4) Open the file and confirm the changes.

> Now the game should open without issues!😉

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within does not support modern screen resolutions and aspect ratios. To fix this, download the files from the link below.

1) Unzip the file ''pop2_widescreen''.

2) Extract the files from the "pop2" folder to the game directory. The password is "pop2".

> Steam\steamapps\common\Prince of Persia The Warrior Within

3) Open the file ''pop2.ini''.

4) Set the desired resolution in [MAIN] and save with Ctrl+S or File > Save.

Resolutions⬇️

● Full HD: 1920x1080

● 2K WQHD: 2560x1440

● 4K Ultra HD: 3840x2160

NOTE: As the game is old, it is normal that the cutscenes are not in 16:9.

Comparation⬇️

> If everything was done correctly, your game now supports current resolutions. Enjoy!😉

NOTE: lf you run the game above 60 FPS, the audio may get a little out of sync in game cutscenes and parkour may unexpectedly misbehave if the frame rate is above 60 FPS.

1) Open the Nvidia Control Panel

2) Manege 3D settings > Program Settings

3) Add Prince of Persia (pop2. exe)

4) Scroll through the options to the end and activate the following settings:

- Vertical Sync - On

- Maximum FPS Rate - 59 FPS

5) Apply and close

● IN CONTROL SUPPORT, I'll introduce you to a layout better suited for playing with a joystick - following something similar to the PS2 Settings. I'm using a PS4 controller, configured to work through the Steam Big Picture itself!

1) if you are having trouble recognizing the controller, use the steam / Big picture itself or a program called (DS4Windows) to recognize it.

2) Make sure your controller is connected and working before starting the game

3) Go to Options / Controls / GamePAD and adjust button mappings

With everything set up now, Have fun with this amazing game! ❤️

1. Go to game folder \ Video

2. Rename or delete files> LOGORP.BIK > UBIMTL.BIK > UBISOFT.BIK

● I recommend renaming it. if you want to redo it, just put the original name!

1. In the same Video folder, Rename or Delete the Files> LOADIN0.BIK > LOADLOP0.BIK > LOADOUT0.BIK > GO_GEN.BIK

NOTE: Deleting or renaming the Video folder skips loading screens, as well as intro videos and cutscenes.

For some reason, the Artwork and Background for the Prince of Persia franchise has not been updated for Steam's new vertical art formats.

NOTE: The link includes all the art from the five Prince of Persia games, if you want you can choose just (Warrior Within) or any other from the franchise!

1) To change the art, right-click the game > Manege > Clear Custom Artwork

2) To change background and logo, right click on default background > Set Custom Background / Logo
