Key Points

Widely criticised as being a very poor PC port.[1][2]
Poor sales of the game on console platforms has resulted in Radical Entertaintment being essentially shut down. The long-term effects of this on support for the PC port remains to be seen.[3]

Very Common Errors

No shadows with ATI graphics cards.
Cannot complete Operation Flytrap.
Performance degrades over time (memory leak).

General Information

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

Mouse Acceleration

Mouse acceleration is tied to framerate of the game, leading to extremely choppy control in periods of poor performance.[4]

Issues Resolved

Issue - No Shadows With 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.[5]

Issue - Cannot Complete Operation Flytrap

Template:Right On some PC configurations it's impossible to complete the mission Operation Flytrap.

Instructions

Issue - Performance Degrades Over Time

Template:Right Also known as a memory leak.

Caused by a problem with a setting on x64 bit Windows. To do with Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Physical Address Extension (PAE).
If you are having the "memory problem" chances are PAE is not forceenabled.
This "FIX" has nothing to do with fixing. Just extending memory space so that the crash occurs maybe bit later on 32bit systems.
64bit systems don't use/need PAE
DEP probably doesn't do anything other than compromise system security in the long term.
Instructions

Issue - No Voice Audio During Gameplay

Bug caused by Dolby surround setups.[6]
Instructions

Issue - Glowing Outlines On Characters

Instructions

Issue - 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.
Instructions

Issue - Waypoints don't tigger and can't use airbridge

Seems to be sporadically caused by crashing in the middle of a mission
