When launching the Prototype game, some users experience a problem where the game gets stuck at the loading screen and then abruptly closes. Below are two methods to fix this issue.
Step 1:
Navigate to your Prototype game installation folder.
Step 2:
Create a new text file named Launcher.txt
in the game directory.
Step 3:
Open Launcher.txt
and paste the following code:
@echo off
cd /d "%~dp0"
start /affinity F prototypef.exe
Explanation:
@echo off
: Hides command lines for cleaner output.cd /d "%~dp0"
: Changes the directory to the location of the script (Prototype folder).start /affinity F prototypef.exe
: Launches the game with specific CPU affinity to stabilize performance and prevent the loading crash.
Step 4:
Rename the file extension from .txt
to .bat
so it becomes launcher.bat
.
Step 5:
Run the game using launcher.bat
instead of the original game launcher.
If the first method doesn't work, you can manually adjust CPU affinity settings for Steam through Task Manager.
- Open Task Manager (
Ctrl + Shift + Esc
). - Go to the Processes tab and find Steam.
- Right-click on Steam and select Go to details.
- Locate
steam.exe
in the Details tab. - Right-click
steam.exe
and choose Set affinity. - In the CPU list, check all CPUs from CPU 0 to CPU 8.
- Press OK to apply the settings.
- Launch the Prototype game.
Note: Modifying CPU settings or using custom scripts may affect system performance. Proceed at your own risk.
