Hey there, fellow web-slingers! If you’ve been swinging around in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, you’ll be glad that Nixxes dropped the first proper patch for the PC version after a couple of hotfixes. Let’s discuss what this update covers and why it might matter for your adventures!
This latest patch, numbered 1.205.0.0, aims at fixing various crashes reported by players, always a plus, right? The team is listening, and they’ve improved stability based on feedback gathered from their crash reporting system.
Another notable tweak is the noise reduction in character hair when using DLSS Ray Reconstruction. This was quite a nuisance during the launch, so it’s nice to see progress here; maybe now we can finally embrace DLSS RR without issues!
Also worth mentioning is a fix related to ray-traced reflections that sometimes cause pixelation along water edges, a problem that could throw off your gaming vibe while exploring New York City.
However, if you’re looking for any performance boosts with this patch, you’ll need to keep waiting; no optimization improvements have rolled out just yet. Fingers crossed that Nixxes continues working on those tweaks soon! Regarding future enhancements, there’s still no support for Multi-Frame Gen, which might help, especially during CPU-heavy scenes.
You can expect Steam to automatically download this patch when you fire up your client next. Below are all the details straight from the changelog:
