Revision as of 22:35, 28 December 2012
Template:Infobox Prototype (series)
Key points
- Widely criticised as being a very poor PC port with a very large number of issues.[1][2]
- 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.[3]
- #Controller is highly recommended.
General information
- Steam Forum
- Steam Forum thread with additional fixes - maintained by Suicidal.banana.
Availability
- Prototype 2 is a Steamworks title.[4]

Mouse acceleration
- Mouse acceleration is tied to framerate of the game, leading to extremely choppy control in periods of poor performance.[5]

Issues resolved
No shadows with AMD/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 official or unofficial fix has been issued for Prototype or Prototype 2.
Template:Star Screenshots from aaronmoi.[6]
Cannot complete Operation Flytrap
Template:Right On some PC configurations it's impossible to complete the mission Operation Flytrap.
Instructions |

Performance degrades over time
Template:Right Also known as a memory leak.
- Caused by a problem with a setting on x64 bit Windows. To do with Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Physical Address Extension (PAE).
- If you are having the "memory problem" chances are PAE is not forceenabled.
- This "FIX" has nothing to do with fixing. Just extending memory space so that the crash occurs maybe bit later on 32bit systems.
- 64bit systems don't use/need PAE
- DEP probably doesn't do anything other than compromise system security in the long term.

Issue - No Voice Audio During Gameplay
- Bug caused by Dolby surround setups.[7]

Issue - Glowing Outlines On Characters

Issue - 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).
- Devices with additional USB ports for connecting peripherals may be responsible for the problem.
Instructions |

Issue - Waypoints don't tigger and can't use airbridge
- Seems to be sporadically caused by crashing in the middle of a mission
