Been playing it at 1080p max'd no AA @ sys specs settings, looks stunning, only lags on the odd occasion about once 10 minutes and thats only little drop and can barely notice it. I love this game!

Sorry if this has been asked before, but has anyone found the game a bit quieter than most? I have to turn up my speakers.

Yup, the game runs great.

Off topic:
Is it me or is this what Spiderman should have been?

On topic:
Game Zone gave this game a fair review IMO.

 

[alexp999]

Yeah I get a constant 60 FPS with everything maxed and 4AA.

Games runs a lot better than I expected. Graphics arent too bad, just a shame about the sound

Cant kill Elizabeth Greene... I read that it took about 30 min to kill her

Yep, same here. Normally I have the sound panel at 25 when I game with my headphones, but now I have to crank it up to 50 or something.

From what I've read on their forums some believe that the X-Fi works better with this game then onboard, etc. I can't say how true that is thought.

Hmm your frame rates look a little low for your 4870 X2 at 1680. Go to the subdirectory of where you Prototype is installed. Make a copy of prototypef.exe. Then rename it to AFR-FriendlyD3D.exe.

Next, go into device manager and uninstall all HID-Compliant Consumer Control Device(s) under Human Interface Devices and see if frame rates improve.

Does this help with resolutions? As in does it override device settings or just give you a greater list of the lower res numbers?

Create a prototype shortcut ( It creates one by default but if you erased it or whatever, go into the program files/activision/prototype, right click on prototypef and create a shortcut). After you create it, right click the shortcut and click properties. There should be a directory path called ”Target” and it should have something like this: “C:\Program Files\Activision\Prototype\prototypef.exe”
So now you write windowed behind it so it will be like( write just windowed not -windowed
“C:\Program Files\Activision\Prototype\prototypef.exe” windowed

Now you can go into the game and change the resolution. I set mine as low as I can and when I started the game, it gave the Input not supported for a sec but then the game booted up nicely.

Sorry am at work and bored, does this help?

Many people seem to have sound issues, and so far it all appear to be people running on Windows Vista.

First off, if you do NOT have Vista Service Pack 2, then install it. It has solved the problem for many people already, particularly the problem where game characters have high voices.

Vista 32 bit SP2: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d5-f907-4406-9012-a5c3199ea2b3&DisplayLang=en
Vista 64 bit SP2: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...4a-55ec-4972-a0d7-b1a6fedf51a7&DisplayLang=en

If that does not do the trick, then try changing the hardware accelaration . It has been reported that it needs to be set to around 44100 Hz to fix it, 48000 is still too high.
In vista to find this, you right-click the speaker in lower right, select Playback Devices, find your soundcard in the list, right-click and choose properties, go to advanced tab, in the Default Format dropdown list choose 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality) or 24 bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality).

In XP to find this, Click START, Settings, Control Panel, Sound and Audio Devices, Speaker Settings, Advanced, Performance, and change the hardware accelaration there.

When you have no sound at all, then try disabling AGP in the dxdiag (start, run, dxdiag, sound tab)

That's the first thing I noticed when I started it. I had to turn my speakers up 5-10 dB to hear anything. That is on Audigy 2 ZS and Windows XP. They just have their audio codec volume turned way down. I hope they increase it in a patch.

take her tentacle things down, then hammer her mercilessly in melle.

 

[Darkgundam111]

This game is amazing. Just got it yesterday, and man I am going to be playing like crazy today XD

 

[sapetto]

I tried to rename the exe and then the game doesn't run

[erocker]

So is this game worth the price? Anyone not like it? I should ask.. What are the negative points of this game?

 

[Hybrid_theory]

I just started playing this and my nyko airflo doesnt seem to pickup in this game. Keyboard and mouse feels weird for this. Any1 with an airflo get it to work???

None so far (as long as you don't have any hardware conflicts).

I've read in the steam forums who believe that updating your openAL wrapper can improve sound (summer 2009 release). Not sure how true that is.

I've read another post that setting priority to high fixes freezing while playing the game for someone. Others said that defragging the HD fixed it. One person used Contig v1.55


I've read that some who own a Sidewinder mouse are having problems playing the game. In order to fix this you would have to is goto Device Manager, expand Human Interface Device and uninstall all HID-Compliant Consumer Control Device found within.

Hope these tips help!
