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 Entertainment being essentially shut down. The long-term effects of this on support for the PC port remains to be seen.[3]
- A controller is highly recommended.

Video settings
Template:Video settings
- An in-depth look at the Prototype 2 settings is available on this GameSpy Port Authority article.
Custom resolution and refresh rate
- Resolution is natively capped at 1920x1080 and 1920x1200.
Input settings
Template:Input Settings
- Mouse acceleration is tied to framerate of the game, leading to extremely choppy control in periods of poor performance.[5]
System requirements
Template:System Requirements
Issues unresolved
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]
Prototype on Nvidia graphics card.
Prototype on AMD/ATI graphics card.
Cannot complete Operation Flytrap
Template:Right On some PC configurations it's impossible to complete the mission Operation Flytrap.
Performance degrades over time
- Memory leak caused by a setting on x64 bit Windows to do with Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Physical Address Extension (PAE).
Issues fixed
No voice audio during gameplay
- Bug caused by Dolby surround setups.[7]
Glowing outlines on characters
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.
Waypoints don't trigger and can't use airbridge
- Seems to be sporadically caused by crashing in the middle of a mission
