I made a video guide and how-to video on the game Prototype for Steam PC. I don't know if this fix works on other versions of Prototype. This video should fix the crashes, increase resolution above 720p to 1080p and also increase frame limit. This game ran on an old engine and seem to not be compatible with modern hardware. I also remember the PS3 Prototype game to locked at 720p.
List of problems and their fixes:
Low FPS:
This issue can be caused by several things. First off, most of the time it is caused by HID drivers which are basically drivers used by stuff like mouses and keyboards. Almost all things use these nowadays but the engine seems to have a problem with it. There is a easy fix by downloading a dll and copying it to the game exe place located directly in the Prototype game folder.

A fix is to set a FPS limit to 60. The game engine cannot run at more than 60FPS anyway and so far there is no fix to unlock FPS rates above that. However, when the game runs over 60FPS, it can cause mouse and performance issues so I recommend to lock the FPS to 60 for this game. This can also be done in Nvidia Inspektor exactly like before but now you search for the setting called Frame Rate Limiter V3. In that field select 60FPS and apply changes.
Resolution problems (such as unsupported Resolutions, Ultrawide):
If you have unsupported resolutions such as an ultrawide 21:9 or even 32:9, there is a way to force the game to run at desktop resolution via another dll file. Also it seems like that all GPUs with more than 2GB VRAM need this too since not all resolutions are available. I also hex edited the files already to support more memory for the stack allocator which supposedly can fix crashes and improve performance further. If you want the game to have the same FOV as vanilla, use the original FOV version. If you need High FOV (recommended for 21:9 screens or people who think vanilla isn't big enough), use the High version. The highest version is only for multi monitor and 32:9 setups.

Crashes:
It seems like the game crashes when your system has more than 8 CPU cores or threads. I am not quite sure actually, some people also say 4/8 CPUs have this as well. I personally have a 8 core only CPU without threads (i7 9700K). This is extremely uncommon though and almost all CPU have threads nowadays. I personally do not have any crash problems whatsoever due to the lack of hyperthreading but if you suffer from this there are some ways that supposedly helped other users. Such as changing the compatibility mode of the game exe to Windows 7.
Another fix is to limit the game to 8 cores by using the taskmanager but this doesnt seem to work with Steam it seems. Maybe the overlay is the reason and has to be disabled or Steam has to be generally launched with the following shortcut: "cmd /C start "steam" /affinity 0xff "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe". Alternatively you can try turning off hyperthreading in the BIOS. Sadly I cannot elaborate more on this since I dont have the problem but seen many complains.
And finally, if you have a AMD GPU, I cannot really help. Supposedly there is Radeon Pro but I don't know if that still works. I haven't had a AMD card for a long time.
Feel free to write any more findings or questions about the game into the comments, maybe we will find more fixes and I can add them.
