Warning - Steam and Prototype

[immortaal]

It is on sale for $10..but a friend tipped me off to the Steam forums, where many, many users stated they had issues where it simply won't run, and as you know, Steam does not refund you for your purchase, adn seeing as this issue is old, as is the game, it is doubtful there will ever be a patch for it.

Conversely, I have had no issues with Prototype since day one ...

If you have a controller plugged in, IT WON'T run at all. And without any error report. When I removed my controller, it worked fine.

Conversely, I have no issues playing using an XBOX360 controller ..

I do remember now that I did have one issue. When I changed my video card I had to delete my config settings otherwise it would error out. Once I deleted the ini file it worked again.

I have had this game for a while but I know it will not run properly across the Matrox triplehead2go. It tries to adjust the resolution and then drops back to the desktop. Never have found a solution. I doubt it has anything to do with the matrox but maybe strange resolutions upset it.

I've had it for a long while on steam without issue.

When things like this happen to me I like to turn down the dial a little ...

Dim the lights;

Put on some smooth music;

Pour a drink;

Load up steam;

And click the game gently ... have you tried this?

When I know my pc's having trouble, I rub it gently on the side. In a soothing voice I give it encouraging thoughts.

I shit you not, it works.
