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.

- This can lead to a very poor graphical quality.
- There is no known fix for Prototype or Prototype 2.

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.
