Issues unresolved
Low volume
Solution found.
The Game use native 5.1 there is no stereo Downmix. So in a Stereo setup you don't have the Center and Surround Speakers so the volume is very low except for Cutscenes (they are in Stereo).
Use an alternative Sound Driver like Razor Surround. It's simulating a Surround effect while using the Full Speaker Configuration.
If you have a Asus Xonar Card open the Xonar Control Center in the Mainmenu select 8 at Audio Channel and 2 at Analog out. Now The Asus driver makes the Downmix from any Surround Source.
I have tested both variants and use the Xonar solution because i have these card so no need to install any other thirdparty Software.
No shadows with AMD/ATI graphics cards
- This game has a similar bug as with the sequel, where shadows are not rendered properly on AMD/ATI Radeon cards.[5] This can provide sub-optimal graphical fidelity for many AMD/ATI users.
- So far, no known fix for Prototype or the sequel exists.
Issues fixed
Black screen on Prototype start up
Override refresh rate[citation needed] |
---|
|
Low frame rate
- This is caused by the engine incorrectly overpolling the USB I/O in Windows.[6]
Install a mod[citation needed] |
---|
Use DirectInput FPS Fix. |
Disable unused HID devices[citation needed] |
---|
|
Sound stuttering, crackling
- Having non-default sound quality settings can cause sound problems in this and some other games.
Set sound quality to 24 bit, 48000 Hz[citation needed] |
---|
See Sound problems (cracking, delays, missing music/effects, etc.) |
Missing textures
Disable all Anti-aliasing[citation needed] |
---|
|
Crashing after loading saved game
Start a new game first[citation needed] |
---|
|
Crash after starting or loading a game
- The game may crash on a CPU with more than 8 threads.
Create Steam shortcut with limited core affinity[7] |
---|
|
See the related Steam guide to limit process affinity |
---|
Increase the amount of memory available to the stack allocator |
---|
|
Turn off hyperthreading or turn off all but four cores[citation needed] |
---|
Enter your computer's BIOS and turn off the hyperthreading CPU feature or turn off all but four cores. The specific procedure depends on your motherboard, thus you have to consult the manual of your motherboard if you're unsure how to do this. |
Resolution stuck at 1280x800 on 2GB+ VRAM GPUs
Use the all resolution patch[8] |
---|
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Fullscreen mode defaults to 100 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
- Doing this can help achieve a more stable fps while playing
Set screen refresh rate[citation needed] |
---|
|
For Nvidia users
- You don't need Special K for this to work
Set screen refresh rate on Nvidia Control Panel |
