Prototype 2

From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games

Template:Infobox

Poor sales of the game on console platforms has resulted in Radical Entertaintment being essentially shut down. The effect of this on support for the PC port remains to be seen.[1]

Template:Star Many fixes attributable to the Steam forum thread by Suicidal.Banana.

Issues

No voices during gameplay

This is a bug with dolby surround setups. far-from-perfect-fix: go to options-> audio and set sound system to TV instead of Home Theater. [4]

Glowing outlines on characters

Disable antialiasing. [4]

Performance degrades overtime

It's a setting on 64 bits windows, if thats changed a time then the problems start to happen. It has 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. [5]

To set dep off and pae on use these commands in a command window with admin rights (Start -> write "cmd" and run it with ctrl+shift+enter)

Enter commands 

bcdedit /set nx AlwaysOff
bcdedit /set pae ForceEnable

Cannot Complete Operation Flytrap

On some PC configurations it's impossible to complete the mission Operation Flytrap. If this happens, Alt-Tab out of the game, open task manager, find prototype2.exe, right click -> Set Affinity... and uncheck all but one of the checkboxes. Go back into the game and restart the mission.

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). Anecdotal information appears to specifically indict devices that have additional USB ports for connecting peripherals. You may be able to launch the game by unplugging the device(s) before starting the game, then plugging them back in. Alternatively, open up the Windows Device Manager and disable one or more instances of "HID-compliant consumer control device" [NOTE: not "HID-compliant device"]; however, this may disable some features of your device.

Mouse Acceleration Tied To Framerate

Mouse acceleration is tied to framerate of the game, which can lead to extremely choppy control behaviour in periods of poor performance.[6]

  • Use A Controller. This will bypass the acceleration problem.
  • Using Dxtory to limit framerate (for example, to 60FPS) will limit mouse acceleration.[7]

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 fix has been issued yet, either for Prototype or Prototype 2.

  • Prototype on Nvidia graphics card.

  • Prototype on AMD/ATi graphics card.
