Hey everyone, I recently remembered and wanted to replay this old childhood classic of mine.
https://www.mobygames.com/game/prisoner-of-war-world-war-ii
It installed fine and runs with no problems (I used a no-cd fix, the game has safedisk drm, unplayable in windows vista and above)
However it has 2 issues, one the game has a darn 30fps lock on PC, and two it doesn't support 1080p resolutions.
For the first problem I wonder if anyone is tech savvy enough and has the time and interest to find a way to unlock the fps cap?
As for playing with higher resolutions, the game uses DX8.1 I tried using Dgvoodoo to force a higher res, unfortunately the game doesn't launch at all with dgvoodoo enabled (DX12 api), with DX11 it works but there is a font issue and everything in-game is white, I have an AMD card and as I know its a known problem and the only way to fix it is by using DX12 which is what I always do but in this case the game refuses to launch.
Can anyone offer some help here? I can provide you guys with the .ISO and the raw game files if you need them.
I would love to revisit this flawed classic with a bit of a modern touch, 30fps and low res is a bit of a dealbreaker, might try to emulate it on pcsx2, but i would love to try and see if there is any chance the PC version can become playable.
Thanks!
