Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered v1.824.1.0 Patch Notes

[Nixxes_Community]

Hey everyone,

After last week's first patch, another update is now live for Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. This patch contains dozens of fixes and improvements and includes a couple of brand-new features. You may need to restart Steam to see this update.

Since we launched the game, we have seen many requests for the addition of a sharpness slider. With this update, we bring you not one, but two of them. In the Display menu you can now use a sharpness slider when NVIDIA DLSS or AMD FSR 2.0 is activated. You can finetune the sharpness for each upscaling technique to taste in ten different steps.

In the Graphics menu you will also find a Sharpness slider, that works independently from the sharpness slider for upscaling. This slider controls the in-game sharpness, like the sharpness slider that was already available in Photo Mode. When using DLSS or FSR 2.0, you can combine both sliders.

The third new feature is an option to force the aspect ratio of the game to values like 32:9 or 21:9 on any screen. This gives all players the possibility to experience Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered in ultrawide aspect ratios.

Release Notes

Known Issues

• Some players using Intel GPUs cannot take a picture of the Empire State building, blocking their progression. This issue only occurs on Intel GPUs. Intel is working on a driver update to address this.
  
  So far, Intel released a beta driver update with a fix for Arc GPUs and integrated Xe GPUs in Alder Lake and Rocet Lake processors: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/729157/intel-arc-graphics-windows-dch-driver-beta.html

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.

Nice!

EDIT: Well, sadly, there is a blurry issue (when moving camera and using DLSS) with this new sharpness features and sliders:

Nice one. Thanks. A CPU-Usage decrease really would be nice. Even my i9-9900k is having a hard time (when RT comes in place). Every other game is just GPU-bottlenecked (RTX2080). Being CPU-bottlenecked on this CPU really is a new (and surprising) experience.

Thanks NIXXES - this patch looks awesome so far !

But as others have also mention : will you look into the CPU usage ?

[G4M3R Z3R0]

Steam Cards, and Steam Point Shop items please.

Unfortunately HBAO+ is still lacking. There are way more indirect and contact shadows with SSAO. One can see this when looking under cars, hot dog stands and chairs/tables (i always "test/bench" my settings on times square.

(these issues are true for me , I am playing on a i7 11800H RTX 3070. I don't think i am getting a good performance based on my hardware and also the framerate lowers after a long period of play. Usually happens with RT ON.)
