Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is already a good PC port and keeps improving even more. Nixxes Software released a small patch recently that fixed some lingering issues in the game. The developer also mentioned a list of known issues and outgoing investigations.

The September 1 Update added performance and memory use logging. This addition should make it easier for the dev to investigate performance issues. The patch improved HBAO+ and fixed the issue where using certain controllers would cause negative CPU performance. The sticker placement when using Photo Mode is no longer limited by the 16:9 aspect ratio.

Release Notes

  • Fixed issues that could cause negative CPU performance impact when using certain controllers.
  • Further visual finetuning of HBAO+.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause input loss after enabling Photo Mode during cinematics.
  • Sticker placement in Photo Mode is not constrained to 16:9 anymore.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented users from moving lights and stickers in Photo Mode in scenes where the player does not have control over the camera.
  • Fixed a crash that would occur on Intel Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge CPUs with ray-tracing enabled.
  • Added performance and memory use logging.

Known Issues

  • Some players using Intel GPUs cannot take a picture of the Empire State building, blocking their progression. Intel released a beta driver update for Arc GPUs that addresses this issue. A general driver update for other GPUs is expected soon.

Ongoing investigations

  • Some players are reporting that some game achievements are not unlocking correctly for them. We are investigating.
  • Some players on laptops with NVIDIA GPUs are reporting significantly lower performance than what would be expected from their hardware. We are investigating this potential issue together with NVIDIA.
  • Some players are mentioning performance degradation after playing for a long amount of time. So far, we have not been able to reproduce this issue, but our investigations are ongoing, and we are analyzing data from players experiencing these issues to get a better understanding of the potential underlying problem.
