Hey! I made a FULL gameplay video of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within on YouTube using your mod.The video is in French though, since that’s my native language.
I tried version 1.0.2, and I can confirm that it works very well. It works perfectly on Ubisoft Connect, DVD, and GOG, I haven’t tested it on Steam. Thank you very much for your work and the time you dedicated to it.
Hi ! I’m really excited to try out version 1.0.2, especially this time with Peixoto, I really hope it gets released soon! I just have one question: I know most of the content is in HD, but will the environments, water, vegetation, fire, creatures, locations... also be in HD?
I installed this mod along with the Unofficial Patch, and while the game gave me a couples of issues (tbh, the tutorial could be remade btw ngl), I think I got to make them work to the main menu. I haven't start playing yet because I have a question...
When doing steps 12 and 13 of the tutorial, opening the D3D9 Render Mod Tools and clicking on refresh textures, I can indeed see the list of textures injected. I can also see a list above the "Refresh Data Sources" and "Reload All Textures" buttons; this list has the same textures ID I can see when refreshing the textures and they have different statuses: some the Streaming status and others the Blocking one. Is this intended? Or all of them must be on Streaming for this mod to properly work?
no, some are ordened in the streaming or blocking folder because if you placed a specific texture in either streaming or blocking, it would not show up or simply cancel out any textures of popping up. However, V1.0.2 is currently in progress, making the mod accessible to users easier without SpecialK, but through Peixoto, which my other 2 mods currently use as well. I had some time to figure out how it works and managed to notice that it's easier than i expected. So i estimate V1.0.2 to release around this year but with delay maybe perhaps around the time the Sands of Time Remake releases. Which would be by April 2026.
I'm unable to play with your textures in special k I did everything according to your readme and tutorial video But whenever I try and start the game with your textures the game just gets a black screen with a metal gear alert sound right after the first loading animation and just gets stuck there I tried deleting either one of the folders from textures....tried once only with blocking folder and one with streaming folder but both times its the same I even tried only keeping 1 texture I kept only the kaileena texture in the streaming folder and now the game works fine but crashes whenever I try to get close to the hourglass room as in the game crashes every time kaileena is loaded in
hmm. Might be cause u have a specific SpecialK version installed. Try updating or getting the version i used in the Tutorial. Either that wil fix it, or try changing the version of the SpecialK.dll u use. there's 32 and 64. There's probably a slighter chance it will work with 64 if it didn't work with 32, but it's worth a try.
I tried using SpecialK64.dll But using that I don't even get the menu when starting the game I'm using the latest stable build of specialk from here https://www.special-k.info/ Not sure where I can get the version you were using any chance you can share it ?
also I saw you were telling someone to start game with princeofpersia.exe but I can't exactly do that.... i have to start the game using the prince of persia : warrior within config app could that be the issue ? i tried using the other one but it doesn't let me...
It stops responding and crashes just after you get to control the Prince at the start of the game. I installed the unofficial patch and applied the anniversary mod following the instructions in the video. Help?
When I try to open the game via POP2.exe there's an error that tell me to open the game via PrinceOfPersia.exe. How can I fix this? I use Ubisoft Connect btw
when picking the game through SpecialK, the selected exe you need is PrinceOfPersia.exe. Then, after u done this, u can start up the game through Ubisoft Connect or run PrinceOfPersia.exe if you wish to make a shortcut of this.
No he didn't. He uses files from vargatomi's mod. Your mods looks cleaner to me so I would love to use it but Peixoto's Patch doesn't seem to work for me at all. Texture replacement doesn't, it won't even dump textures. I have Steam version of the game so maybe that's why it's not working.
Replacing BF file works and it seems to load the proper texture. Now if only someone could build prince.bf file using your texture pack, it would really help.

I tried deleting either one of the folders from textures....tried once only with blocking folder and one with streaming folder
but both times its the same
I even tried only keeping 1 texture
