Any permanent fix for memory leaking yet?

[Jarrod]

Anyone know of a fix for the game-breaking memory leaking in this game yet?

[nova kain]

Game runs fine for me.... whats the problem?

[Jarrod]

Same as a lot of people who play this game? It has memory leaking. Game slowly loses fps no matter what as it is played till it is quit or crashes.

While I don't have this problem with Prototype 2, I do have it with the first one and that still hasn't been fixed. Don't forget that Activision closed Radical before this game was even released, so they didn't even get the chance to find out what problems the game has with certain systems.

[Jarrod]

I know that, I was wondering if anyone has produced a permanent fix to it yet.. Obviously the only ones who can play the game would be viewing the forums, so I guess I'm just purely SOL

about how to fix the crashes, few times a fix posted. u must at the task manager prototype for only one core enable, except u have dual/quad-core. diablo3 got same at first, but would be fixed. :p. because the lag, u only have short al,t+tab, to desktop or ctlr+alt+del and then direct escape. when then the fps r normal again. bad memory management, but the game rockz spo hard, i have could life with. 33 times i played complete to end. normal, then insane, but insane givess me not the achievement i got for hard 0o... so on hard again. :p

I am still getting memory leak in this game. It's basically not fun anymore. I am still looking for a permanent fix.

A sort-of-kinda-but-not-really temporary fix is to change the resolution when it starts lagging. This seems to set it back to normal FPS for a while. For example, I simply change it from 1366 to 1360. There's no noticeable difference and it takes about 15 seconds each time to do.

But yeah, changing resolution every 5-10 minutes is annoying and ruins an otherwise fun and engaging game. I've simply not found any fix for it that works. I've tried:

Tabbing out for a few seconds
Setting flip queue size to 1
Using one core
Forcing resolution/fixed FPS in launch options

None have worked.

if you have a radeon :
- deactivate AA in game
- install software "radeon pro preview 1.1.1.0" :
* make profile for protoype2.exe
* in "tweak" :
vsync control : always ON (double vsync)
dynamic framerate control : 30 fps max
* in "advanced" :
flip queue size = 1
- right button on profile's name and "apply now"
- play game normaly

i have constant 30fps with i5 2500 + radeon 7950 1920x1080
before this : must do alt+tab all 5/10min because become too slow

I just finished the game a second time and never experienced the memory leak bug. I played with AA off though, so you might wanna check if disabling that option does the trick for you. I didn't have to use any other fixes or patches for what it's worth.

I run Win 7 (64bit) on an i7 3770 with 16GB RAM and a GTX 460, game ran from an SSD.

One observation of mine is that I find a lot of people who are much less likely to experience these set of problems are Nvidia card users.

That worked for a little while but it eventually came back. The framerate counter in the corner drops to about 15. Any other ideas?

I finished this game 2 years ago on a then 3yrs old PC bought in 2009 & with GTS450 and it worked like a charm. Now I play it with GTX660 (finally replaced my 5 years old PC) and got absolutely no problems. The same goes for Prototype.

The problem may lay in the graphics card itself. I had few AMD cards and I always had display errors (colors missing, desktop bugs) and half of the games were running terribly slow.
I'd say, if you want to play this game with decent speed, buy a GeForce GPU ;).

Yeah, I'm currently running an AMD Richland 6800k APU and no graphics card. It is definitely the Memory Leakage issue from what the symptoms were though.

Might be memory leak, but I'd still say that it's mostly because of the AMD card.
90% of the games right now still perform way better with Nvidia GPUs ;).
AMD makes great & powerful CPUs but as far as GPUs goes, they're still in the stone age :P xD.
