Game Issues
The game is technically pretty messed up and there are several guides and discussion threads that could be very overwhelming for a gamer who just wants to play the damn game, Thanks Activision!
Most of those guides tell so many scripts or processes to run that isn't practical for most users. So I scanned through all of them to find the best solution out there on the internet so you don't have to!

3 Primary Issues I observed:
  • Game crashes on loading
  • Modern resolution isn't supported
  • Terrible FPS
THE Fix
1. Download the fix
Download here [drive.google.com]

2. Copy the Fix
Go to Steam Library > Prototype > Right Click > Manage > Browse Local Files
Copy & replace prototypeenginef.dll and dinput8.dll from the Prototype Fix.zip to the game directory
(use 7-zip or similar program)

3. Play
Start the game normally and set your resolution. Please note that I have kept the original FOV of the game. You can change the resolution from the Settings menu.

IMPORTANT:
If you experience severe mouse stutters, then use a different high-quality mouse or controller. If none of that helps, go to the downloaded zip file and open the Standard Fix folder. Copy and replace prototypeenginef.dll from the same folder to your game location and play. (But now the game would run in low FPS).
Some people report that running OBS in the background helps with this issue, but the chance is pretty low.
Credits
This Fix would have been completely impossible without the contribution of these legends.
- PCGamingWiki & the contributers[www.pcgamingwiki.com]
- Guzz [forums.overclockers.ru]
- Knochenjonny
- and many Others involved within the community.

If I missed something or credits, let me know. This game has several other issues but I hope the most important ones are solved for most people. I have also included a manual HID toggle script just in case.
UPDATE:
You can try alternate fix:
Download [www.nexusmods.com]

Also untested, but you may try Frame Generation with Lossless scaling if game runs in Windowed/Borderless mode.

Nutterbutter add me and ill send you the solution because you seem to be to stupid to follow simple directions id post them here but their is a character limit

"Copy & Replace" But the only option I get is "Copy file name" & even then, I can't "copy anything from that "Fix.zip" because its just a goole doc with the file names but no direct link or code for those said files. I'll solve this on my own, Thanks for the wasted time.

how about when you reopen the game and try to play from where you left last time when you played and the game decides ist best to crush and crush and keep crushin , in other words no chance to play fromwhere you left (your last save)
