Prototype crashing after starting

[OM-Man]

I don't know how it runs on 11. But it crashed on 7+ CPU cores. You have to set the affinity to 6 or less. Just test it by setting the Steam Client affinity before you run it.

Head to https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1486-prototype-resolution-and-fov-fix/, download the file, extract it, pick your preferred FoV (I'd recommend Even Higher) and replace the one in the game's directory. Otherwise you're locked into 720p or below.

Before you launch the game, you have to go into task manager, right click on Steam, go to details, right click Steam.exe, Set Affinity and untick all but CPU 0-3. Otherwise the game will crash.

If your monitor is above 60Hz, go into your AMD or NVIDIA control panel, set the 3D settings for specific program, find Prototypef.exe or click Prototype if it's available, force the max FPS to 60 or set your refresh rate to 60Hz and turn Vsync on. Otherwise your mouse will be jittery and experience horrible acceleration.

Thanks a lot! It worked in Windows 11 :D

I want to point out: the CPU you must check with Affinity are only 0 and 3. Not from 0 to 3.

for me too the game crashes when I start a new game to play and it crashes

I have a pc with 2 hard drives, one with "windows" the "c", the other with the game libraries the "d". I had problems with crashes, so I uninstalled it from "d" to install on "c" and it started working again...
Please keep me posted on your progress :)

Je dispose d'un pc avec 2 disques dures, l'un avec "windows" le "c", l'autre avec les libraries de jeux le "d". J'avais des problèmes de plantages, donc je l'ai désinstallation du "d" pour installer sur le "c" et il s'est mit a remarché...
Merci de me tenir au courant de votre evolution :)

That's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke having to do all this just to play a game.
