This game confirmed I haven't changed; the gaming industry has. Startup bugs and modern hardware fixes: [url=nexusmods.com/prototype2/mods/42]https://www.nexusmods.com/prototype2/mods/42 And if you get a bug doing the bonus objective/jumping claw slash you have to limit your framerate to 30 somehow and retry the tutorial.

Install these and you're all set. Game's old and the company split up a while back. RIP https://www.nexusmods.com/prototype2/mods/1 https://www.nexusmods.com/prototype2/mods/42 God, I wish this game got the attention that InFamous did too. Loved this series. They don't make games that make you feel this powerful anymore. There's also a lack of strong rugged protagonists like this too. Miss that era of gaming.

If anybody is having trouble running this great game and/or having other issues while running it, like many others. Just go here (nexusmods.com/prototype2/mods/42) download these files and insert into your game folder. After many tries to get this game to work I had tried this one last solution and it finally fixed it! Steam will probably give you the "malicious link" warning but if you know what Nexus mods is then you know it's not going to hurt your pc in any way
