Key points

- A controller is highly recommended.

- Steam Forum - for Prototype series.
- Steam Forum thread with additional fixes - maintained by Suicidal.banana.

- This can lead to a very poor graphical quality.
- No official or unofficial fix has been issued for Prototype or Prototype 2.

USB devices crash game
