Right-click the game shortcut or main executable ( Prince of Persia.exe ). Select and navigate to the Compatibility tab.
Saving and exiting the game in the middle of certain puzzle sequences (like the Observatory ) can cause levers to disappear or stop working upon reloading.
As a last resort, restarting the entire game might be the only fix. Fortunately, progress can be regained quickly.
There are two primary methods used to fix this in repacks. Here is the breakdown of each:
Rotate between multiple manual save slots. If another script breaks later in the game, you won't lose your entire progress.
If the door bug persists, your repack might be missing essential data files. Consider downloading a complete, updated repack from a reliable source.

Paste the downloaded save file into the folder, ensuring it matches the naming convention of your repack (e.g., Save001.sav ). Load the game and select the newly added checkpoint. Method 3: Change Windows Compatibility Modes
Warning: This is advanced. Only do this if you’re comfortable digging through game assets.
This bug is infamous in the PC version, but it becomes even more frustrating when you’re using a (e.g., FitGirl, DODI, or CorePack). Why? Because repacks often modify or compress files that affect the game’s triggers and cutscenes.
This method restores the original trigger files without replacing the whole game.
If the initial quick fixes didn't work, try these step-by-step solutions. They are ordered roughly from easiest to most involved.
