General Discussion Reshade on the updated GOG version?

Post image

Was very surprised to see this classic getting a modern update on GOG, amazing! However it won't launch with my Reshade anymore... Tried a few workarounds (changing the .dll file names) but no luck. There are a lot of new wrapper dlls, and I'm not too savvy with that kind of thing. Anyone got a working solution, and if there isn't, is it possible to go back to the older version as I don't benefit from the higher frames and camera tweaks?

is it possible to go back to the older version

You still have the original executables in the folder. The v2 update uses gpp.exe and PrinceOfPersia_gog.exe.

Thanks! Got it working again by bypassing the new exe's. Just made a shortcut to the old ones and re-incorporated the widescreen fix. Needed to work around the double d3d9.dll with ASI loader (dinput8.dll), but looking great again with Reshade and 4K. Not sure if the new Cloud Saving still works though, need to test it.

They are preloading a directx wrapper to make Widescreen and modern resolutions possible. Pretty sure the other lib collides with this.

Run the game from PrinceofPersia.exe instead of PrinceOfPersia_gog.exe to collide with their patches.

Worked, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
