Input settings
Mouse acceleration
- Mouse acceleration is tied to frame rate of the game, leading to extremely choppy control in periods of poor performance.[5]
Use controller[citation needed] |
---|
A controller will bypass the mouse acceleration problem. |
Limit frame rate[6] |
---|
See Frame rate capping to limit frame rate (for example, to 60 FPS) to limit mouse acceleration. |

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.[7]
- This can lead to a very poor graphical quality.
- There is no known fix for Prototype or Prototype 2.
Cannot complete Operation Flytrap
- On some PC configurations it's impossible to complete the mission Operation Flytrap.
Set core affinity[citation needed] |
---|
|
Turn in-game vsync |
---|
|
Performance degrades over time
- Prototype 2 has memory leak issues. The steps below help alleviate this.
Fix Data Execution Prevention setting[citation needed] |
---|
Ensure Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is set to the default (Windows programs and services only). |
Alt+tab to release memory[8] |
---|
Alt+tabbing in and out of the game appears to release 500-600mb of RAM, delaying the onset of a memory leak crash temporarily. |
Issues fixed
- Caused by Catalyst A.I. interfering with the game.[9]
- Make note of the original key values that need to overwritten, as they will have to be reverted once the game is no longer actively played
(Windows 7) Disable Catalyst A.I. in the registry[citation needed] |
---|
|
(Windows 8+) Disable Catalyst A.I. in the registry[citation needed] |
---|
|
No voice audio during gameplay
- Bug caused by Dolby surround setups.[4]
Set sound option to TV[citation needed] |
---|
|
Glowing outlines on characters
Disable antialiasing[4] |
---|
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.
Unplug USB devices[citation needed] |
---|
|
Disable HID-compliant device[citation needed] |
---|
|
Waypoints don't trigger and can't use airbridge
- Seems to be sporadically caused by crashing in the middle of a mission
Force a reload of your character by evolving[citation needed] |
---|
|
Stuck at gray screen after task switching
Press Alt+Tab ↹ two more times[citation needed] |
---|
Run in a window (see Windowed)[citation needed] |

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:
- File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data.
- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/115320/
. - 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.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
