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.

. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (115320) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
