can't go higher than 1920x1080 in options

i found some suspect files, but i didn't have much luck (not that i really know what to do)
DocumentsActivisionPrototype 2profile.bin
Prototype 2prototype2engine.dll

So I remember a fix, for the first Prototype game, where you needed to use a hex editor on some file (I think it was the executable or a dll file?) in order to enable Surround/Eyefinity resolutions. Not sure if it's going to be the same case. Here's a link to the fix thread: http://www.wsgf.org/dr/prototype

in prototype2engine.dll at 9C40h i found 80020000E0010000 (640x480)
when i changed it to 1680000004380000 or 1680000043800000 (5760x1080, not sure where the 0 went so i tried both)

640x480 disappeared from the resolution list, i tried changing my res to 640 and then copying the dll, but then it changed to 800x600

So then I'm assuming it didn't start off the game at 5760x1080?

nope, 800x600

Well, hopefully this one catches one of the regular's attention (Hayden, Helifax), and gets some Surround support soon.

Don't have the game, and there's no demo

Hey HaYDeN, hooked you up mate(Check Steam) as usual, hopefully you can fix it. I am going to get Inversion(just released) if its jacked up too will score you it as well. Thanks.

Prototype 2 eyefinity fix - steam version as follows:
right click on game, select properties, click SET LAUNCH OPTIONS and paste this( change to resolution you want )
RESOLUTION=5040x1050@60

the cut scenes are messed up but game looks good, i dunno about non steam version, id imagine its just a regular launch option also

*EDIT* added the first line to increase hits for you guys.

Am on 680s SLI no issues at all, hope you figure it out on cross fire maybe an update will come out soon for the cross fire profile if not.

cheers man, i actually tried it without crossfire and its only using 14-70% of the gpu most of the time with less than 30FPS( vsynch off ), i think its an overall AMD driver issue rather than a crossfire one, so hopefully they'll have something soon( on the latest June betas with 7.1 CAP )

thank you very much

Just out of curiosity, is there a different fix besides using the Steam options?

Still holding out for a retail version fix. :( Anyone jsut try adding taht RESOLUTION=5040x1050@60 (or somethign liek it) to shortcut?

I can confirm the addng the line RESOLUTION=6080x1200@60 to the shortcut worked for me, thanks!

Same, works very well! Although in-game cut-scenes are cropped in, still works nicely!
