I still don't get it. Your issue was a lack of trackball support, right?

Still shocked they never made a patch to this pile of shit. I will be gladly posting torrent links the next time these fuckers put out a game. This is why people who steal software are 1000% justified: they steal from us ALL THE GODDAMN TIME.

Bull crap, that isn't all you have up

According to TorrentFreak, Prototype was the third-most pirated PC game in 2009.

To which I say: good. GOOD. It's the buggiest game of all-time, so it's good that people didn't spend any money on it.

It still stuns me that the worthless gaming press hasn't simply asked Activision or Remedy why there wasn't a patch. It's been half a year and your game "journalists" can't write a simple e-mail. All of them believe they are this close to designing their own games, so why stir shit up.

I guess it's up to me.

Also it doesn't run on Windows 95, what is that?

I am a bit amazed that Steam let this through. But hell, Pinner got a game from there that clearly wasn't going to work on his system, and Steam laughably has a "no takebacks" policy.

Which sucks. I hate going to retail stores to get games, but waiting till Prototype was $19.99 and patched would have been better.

I've had games not work because of DaemonTools, but that was years ago and I don't remember what they were.

I know I should be playing Ghostbusters, or even the new Fallout DLC that I grabbed that lets you apparently play as an axe murderer, but I play what I play, I guess.

Anyway, it's been almost a week since I opened a technical support issue with Activision. My problem was initially that the game couldn't get beyond the intro movie. I've now done a bit of characterization on the problem, and it's fine after a reboot.

But if I've done normal things with my computer for a few hours, the problem comes back and I can't play the game.

The sort of things I do with my PC aren't particularly noteworthy. I have Photoshop up all the time, for work on the new text game. Winamp. EditPlus 2, the text editor. And man, that's basically it.

I've got some virtual DVD drives on my system, because that fact that such technology exists is awesome, and I thought maybe that was it, but nah. I've read otherwise, but I've never had a game not work because DaemonTools was installed.

Anyway, I doubt Activision will ever get back to me, so time to rag on them on this thread! They have a support forum at support.activision.com, and I guess I'll be making up fake issues in a sad attempt to try to make up for the fact that they've obviously planted shills and employees there to try to spin the fact that [Prototype] is the buggiest fucking PC game this decade.
