Summary

  • Update 1.212.1.0 fixes graphical glitches, crashes, and AMD Anti-Lag 2 for Spider-Man 2 PC players.
  • Improved visuals with NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction and smoother gameplay with controller integration.
  • Insomniac Games continues work on additional patches to enhance the Spider-Man 2 PC experience.

Insomniac Games has released a significant update for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC, addressing persistent problems and enhancing the web-swinging adventure. The frequent game crashes and odd visual bugs that players were experiencing should no longer be an issue.

Version 1.212.1.0 is now active on PC computers, bringing numerous improvements primarily focused on addressing input problems, visual glitches, and system crashes. Standout changes include the short-term elimination of AMD’s Anti-Lag 2 feature, which was causing issues for Radeon graphics card users. This functionality will be reintroduced once AMD resolves the problem from their side.

Developers have addressed the frequent crashes that occurred while wearing the Bodega Cat Suit during the last Mysterio mission. Now, you can smoothly finish the mission without encountering any bugs, even when you exit the menu with a sound effect playing concurrently.

Visual and Performance Upgrades

If you aim to achieve top-notch visual quality in your configurations, you can benefit from the latest advancements in compatibility and screen-space reflections. This enhancement is made possible by NVIDIA’s DLSS Ray Reconstruction technology, which works seamlessly with Ultra Performance scaling for an even better gaming experience.

Refining your gaming experience, both mouse and keyboard offer enhanced sensitivity, providing you with a more accurate control over your swings and battle strategies. With this latest update, you can now seamlessly connect your Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to Steam Input, making gameplay even smoother.

Solid Progress Despite Rocky PC Launch

In 2023, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was first released only on the PS5. Then, it made its way to PC in January 2025. Similar to other games transitioning from PlayStation to PC, this game encountered graphic glitches, crashes, and instability problems, causing disappointment among the fanbase.

Update 1.212.1.0 Patch 2 improves certain performance problems and makes navigating New York’s skyline more manageable, though it may not solve all issues entirely. Developers have promised further patches are coming soon to continue enhancing the gameplay experience.
