Windows
Game keeps crashing every time I try to go full screen and then the icon to launch the game stops working. I re downloaded 2 times and I can’t work it
OK I got the game but everything is sped up! how do I fix that
Go to your display settings for your monitor and drop the refresh rate to 60hz
Hello, I just downloaded the Harry Potter game on my MacBook Pro with Windows 10 installed. When I go to start the game, the screen and images are off and I don’t know how to fix it
It keeps saying it can’t find the game engine? any help?
So I ran the Harry_Potter_and_the_Philosophers_Stone_Win_Files_En.7z” file through VirusTotal and two engines detected it as a Trojan: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/f26d0c8ba692b773caa62a6e524d20ed4379c247270cd53dc95807b51ff28f24/detection
is this an issue?
No. It’s most likely a false positive. Virus detectors will 9/10 times always consider cracked version of files or serial key generators as trojans, even if the download is from more reliable places such as this.
Is there any way you can use your xbox controller or not I would love to play the game with the xbox controller.
Unfortunately no. The PC version was released on the same day as the original Xbox, which didn’t offer a wireless controller option much like the PS2 did not. In any case, as far as I know most games before the release of the 360 (2005) and PS3 (2007) didn’t offer proper controller support unless it was a specific type of plugged in PC-only controller…so even then it wouldn’t let you remap them to a wireless one
The Playstation and PS2 (arguably a bit better anyways) versions offer it though since they’re played on emulators, and PCSX2 and basically any PS1 emulator allow you to map a controller whether it be a wireless/plugged in 360/one/ps3/ps4 or otherwise.
Works great otherwise, but I got stuck on Lumos challenge, because one platform is much lower than others and i can’t use it to get forward. Tried the fix, but it didn’t work on this one.
I have the same issue, will try to figure out what’s the matter… I suppose the broken vases are blocking the platform from rising.
i cant score even 50% in any practice….why is it happening?
Thank you so so much for this game, I downloaded and ran the game through ISO and it works. You are the best, guys! I will share your page.
Hello! I managed to install the game but when I press play nothing happened. What can I do?
It’s a Windows 10 thing. Just download the Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone Windows 10 Fix at the top of the Additional files, patches and fixes section, and it should work much better.
wont work i foloowed both method 1 and 2
I downloaded the game on my PC running Windows 10 Pro. Already got it installed, but when I click
“Play” nothing happens. I’ve tried the different compatibility settings and other options but still can’t get the game up and running! What can I do?
i’m having the same problem
Hi! You need to download the “windows 10 fix” file and transfer all those files in the installed game folder, confirming that you want to replace original files. It worked for me.
the game is not running, both files for windows cant be open.. i tried to change them in ZIP and ISO files, but my computers says that in the ZIP filesand ISO files are no files to open..
what now?
Hi, you need “Ultra ISO” app to open iso files.
work great
Thank you for providing this game, and the detailed instructions on how to install! First method didn’t work for me (as my files weren’t extracted as zip files(maybe?)), but Method 2 for windows, along with the fix file (because although the game installed OK, it wouldn’t run at first), worked! I love the stage-by-stage tutorials for the new functions! The only complaints are the movement using the 4 arrow keys is a bit tricky, for when flying, or trying to quickly fight off nombs – especially when it’s laggy, which it often is for me. Also I’d highly recommend using a real mouse, because my touch pad is too small to complete some of the spells :/ Overall, great fun though! I’m excited to go through it all 🙂 Thanks again!
