Revision as of 23:00, 2 August 2012
- Widely criticised as being a very poor PC port.[1]
- Poor sales of the game on console platforms has resulted in Radical Entertaintment being essentially shut down. The long-term effects of this on support for the PC port remains to be seen.[2]

Cannot Complete Operation Flytrap
On some PC configurations it's impossible to complete the mission Operation Flytrap. If this happens, Alt-Tab out of the game, open task manager, find prototype2.exe, right click -> Set Affinity... and uncheck all but one of the checkboxes. Go back into the game and restart the mission.
USB Devices Crash Game
Some keyboards (and likely other input devices) may cause Prototype 2 to crash while attempting to load the game (brief black screen, follow by a crash-to-desktop). Anecdotal information appears to specifically indict devices that have additional USB ports for connecting peripherals. You may be able to launch the game by unplugging the device(s) before starting the game, then plugging them back in. Alternatively, open up the Windows Device Manager and disable one or more instances of "HID-compliant consumer control device" [NOTE: not "HID-compliant device"]; however, this may disable some features of your device.
No Shadows With ATI Graphics Cards
Prototype 2 has a similar bug as with Prototype, where shadows are not rendered properly on AMD ATi Radeon cards. This can lead to a very poor graphical quality. No fix has been issued yet, either for Prototype or Prototype 2.
