<h2 class="summarysummaryqVAA”>Updates will hopefully help this flailing release
The launch of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PC has not unfolded as smoothly as Sony and Insomniac Games had envisioned. A significant number of players have encountered a myriad of issues, prompting a wave of critical feedback on platforms like Steam. Reports of crashes, visual glitches, and subpar optimization have left many gamers feeling frustrated and disillusioned.
In response to this backlash, the development team has swiftly rolled out a hotfix aimed at addressing some of the most pressing concerns. This initial patch, as highlighted by GameRant, is just the first step in a series of updates expected in the days ahead. Among the key improvements, the developers have specifically noted that the update tackles the crashing issues associated with ray tracing. Many players had found that enabling this feature would lead to frequent game crashes, rendering the experience nearly unplayable.
Additionally, the hotfix includes:
- A range of crash fixes and stability enhancements.
- Resolution of a framerate-related bug impacting specific areas of the game.
For those whose games are set to auto-update, these fixes should already be in effect, and players can anticipate a noticeable improvement in performance. As Sony aims to uphold the reputation of one of its flagship titles, further updates are likely to follow in the coming weeks.
The anticipation surrounding the PC release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has been palpable, especially given the success of its predecessor. Fans have eagerly awaited the opportunity to experience the web-slinging adventures on their computers. The forthcoming updates are also expected to enhance user interface elements and improve the connectivity of the DualSense controller with PCs via the Steam platform.
Once stability is achieved, players will finally be able to immerse themselves in one of the most celebrated adaptations of Spider-Man, as he confronts the formidable symbiote threat posed by Venom.
