Second Spider-Man 2 PC hotfix targets crashes, frame rate blockers and missing Achievements

Following the mixed reception to its launch last week, a second hotfix update is now available for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC, as Nixxes look to address the main pain points that users have felt with the port.

In particular they’ve sought to stamp out crashes and stability issues as much as possible – though they also hazard that you really, really should update your drivers to the very latest version to have Spider-Man 2 compatibility built in.

Beyond that, they’ve fixed an Achievements bug that was causing them to fail – this will work retroactively upon loading a save file – and fixed a DualShock 4 button prompt bug.

Here’s the full Spider-Man 2 PC v1.202.0.0 patch notes:

  • Various crash fixes and stability improvements.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause Achievements not being awarded on some configurations.
  • Triangle and Square button prompts are now displayed correctly when using a DualShock 4 controller with Steam Input enabled.
  • Resolved a frame rate related bug that could block players during the mission ‘Show Me New York’.

For what it’s worth, we’ve been playing with our PCs and generally found that the game has been fine following the first hotfix last Friday, both in terms of stability and performance. Hopefully the game quickly gets up to snuff for those that are running into problems.
