I can't play [Prototype].

[Bumbleboi]

So it's been a problem for me lately.
Ever since that my PC updated to Windows 11, I couldn't play the game.
I tried to do a lot of things, but it still won't work.
Anything to fix this?

This does work! Audio bugs will still be present.
Alternatively STEAM OS supports this game without the windows bugs.

I did what he said and it doesn't work, what else could I do?

Go for a VM with Steam OS if you really want alternatively try this. https://youtu.be/4U5BwA4My6M

There's a community stand alone version of Steamdeck operating system. Go for that, lookup a tutorial on how to set that up as a virtual machine (Basically running it like a instanced program as opposed to replacing your operating system.)
Here's the github for the community OS so you have a starting point. Do you research from here. https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso

Update for you guys: The game couldn't even start at all whenever I try to play it despite the fixes.

Did you try the top rated mod on nexusmods for Prototype?

https://www.nexusmods.com/prototype/mods/52

It's just a drag and drop replace files deal, and it totally fixed this game for me. It basically does all of the manual fixes plus some - no messing around with virtual desktops or fiddling with settings you have to manually turn on and off.
