Many PS3 owners who recently purchased Prototype are reporting that when they insert the disk for the first time they receive an error report stating that they do not have the required hard drive space to install the game files even though they have multiple GBs of unused hard drive space.
Activision has acknowledged the bug and is working on a patch to correct it.
In the meantime the publisher has posted a workaround on its customer support webpage.
“If your PS3 tells you that you have insufficient hard drive space to install, even if you do, you are going to need to change the available space on your hard drive by 700 MB. This can be done in a number of ways including the following:
– Installing or uninstalling another PS3 game that allows hard drive installation.
– Downloading game demos.
– Removing downloadable content.
– Adding / removing MP3’s or movies from the hard drive.
– Etc.
Once you have made the necessary change to your Hard Drive space insert the Prototype disc back into your PS3 and it should now install.”
This problem has only been picked up on the PS3 version of Prototype.
Prototype should be in local stores tomorrow and will be available on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
