Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a new installment in the popular Prince of Persia series and presents a new adventure within the Sands of Time universe. After leaving his father's kingdom to prove his worth, the Prince is drawn toward a mysterious realm. He quickly discovers that he must harness his acrobatic abilities and powers over the environment to not only survive, but to save a mystic palace from unfathomable evil.

Problems

Shadow Flickering in Dualcore

If using Dualcore, shadows may flicker in certain areas. Worse graphical issues may occur if fullspeed is not maintained. To avoid issues, enable SyncGPU or Single Core mode.

Striped Shadows

Weird striped shadows may appear under the main character with EFB Copies to Texture Only. Disabling EFB Copies to Texture Only may solve this issue. Can't replicate in 5.0-6004, and unseen in 4.0-8901 or even r5192 videos.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
