Game crash fix!

[Mister Mustard]

Like many others here, I could not play this game after I bought it. It would crash after the startup logo. I finally found a fix that works after trying everything else. You start Steam with 4 cores and then the game works. This is the youtube tutorial on how to do it.
If you have spaces in your filename paths, you instead write
start "" "path"

EDIT: I actually found a way that works even easier. You create a text file like he shows, then write:

start /affinity FF "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe"

If that is your steam directory, then rename the text file to whatever.bat, then just run it like an executable and it will start Steam with 4 cores. You can then run Prototype 2 from Steam and it should work. Hope this helps. Be sure to close Steam and open it again normally if you want to play your other games with all your cores
