Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered v1.831.2.0 Patch Notes

[Nixxes_Community]

Hey everyone,

Today we have a new update available for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered. This patch contains various fixes and improvements. You may need to restart Steam to see this update.

We fixed several issues to address a negative impact on CPU performance that could occur when using certain controllers with certain connection methods. Besides that, we further finetuned HBAO+ and implemented a fix for crashes that would occur when enabling ray-tracing on systems with certain older Intel CPUs.

In this update we also added performance and memory logging, to help our ongoing investigations into performance. Check out the patch notes below for all the details.

Release Notes

• Fixed issues that could cause negative CPU performance impact when using certain controllers.
  
• Further visual finetuning of HBAO+.
  
• Fixed an issue that could cause input loss after enabling Photo Mode during cinematics.
  
• Sticker placement in Photo Mode is not constrained to 16:9 anymore.
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented users from moving lights and stickers in Photo Mode in scenes where the player does not have control over the camera.
  
• Fixed a crash that would occur on Intel Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge CPUs with ray-tracing enabled.
  
• Added performance and memory use logging.

Known Issues

• Some players using Intel GPUs cannot take a picture of the Empire State building, blocking their progression. Intel released a beta driver update for Arc GPUs[www.intel.com] that addresses this issue. A general driver update for other GPUs is expected soon.

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.

Rollback to previous version

If you are experiencing new issues with the update, please let us know via Insomniac Support[insom.games]. If necessary, you can rollback to the previous version. Right click the game, select Properties, go to Betas and select previous_version.

Great patch. It was crashing at certain missions. Now it crashes at start up. :)

[DJGurth]

Yep RT now working on my Ivy Bridge Xeon. why does the game require a swap file though? Not had one for years since moving over to an SSD and this is the only game and app that has required one.

The game still works smooth for an hour or so before the performance starts to degrade big time and the only solution is to restart the game...this and the CPU usage problem with HT enabled is still not looked into, what a disgrace.

Even with the the newest 1.831.2 patch.

I have the settings on the lowest or off, everything... 1080 resolution, game works for a while, then errors. I put it up on medium to high settings, same resolution and crashes in a minute. Either way same error. Only this game. God of War doesn't do this and runs on high. Can't make it past Fisk tower due to crashing. Same error each time.

This driver has been completely uninstalled and reinstalled (clean install), no OC, straight out of the box speeds,

BREAKTHROUGH! Ok... 1. Made sure I had all Windows Update patches. Had 2, downloaded and installed. still had same error. 2. Checked power setting in Windows, set to high, was set to other custom plan, still had same error. 3. Went to the .exe file checked "disable fullscreen optimizations", "Run as Administrator" and went to Nvidia Control Panel and moved "Adjust Image Settings with Preview" from quality to performance. Going to remove 1 at a time of step 3 to determine which did it since I blew through Fisk tower with no compromise to the quality. Disabled Run as admin. ran with no noticeable change.

Changed Nvidia Control Panel setting from performance to quality, got glitchy on screen but held, changed to balanced from quality. Think I'm going to leave it alone. Performance and quality slider settings showed really no difference except for glitches. My game settings are on High. May put it back on performance. Currently cleared the third tower in China town. Zero issues.

i am not sure what you guys did last patch , but its crashing now ?

any help

[InevitableCheese]

Last patch gives horrible performance. Was getting around 120 FPS but now running 40-60 with the same settings.

Same performance degradation issue here too which occurs between 1 to 2 hours of continuous play but only in the open-world city areas. Cutscenes and missions seem to work fine but as soon as I am dropped back into the city then the performance degradation continues from there. It feels like some kind of memory leak or issue with swapping data from VRAM into system RAM and back. Whatever it is, It is really odd and annoying.

I can either continue playing but have to endure 5-10 seconds freezes, where I can see textures and assets loading in, which usually leads to a crash eventually or I can exit the game and reload it which fixes the issue for an hour and a bit before it happens again. Note that the game does NOT freeze during the first 1-2 hours of play.

I first noticed this issue while doing side-quests in the open-world city and swinging from one end and back over the course of an hour after having been playing the game at that point for an hour. The framerate gradually dropped lower and lower while swinging through the city to the point where the 5-10 seconds started to happen. Most times I exit the game but the one time I didn't, the game ended up crashing to the desktop anyway!

It would be nice if the developers were actively engaged with this forum and working with people who have this issue to compile more data because I find it hard to believe that have not been able to replicate the issue given how many people on the Steam forum I have seen mention it. It seems like the next logical step is to liaise with the community so they can replicate the issue and see what is happening.

I have 16 GB of RAM, the game is installed to an external SATA3 SSD (2 TB Crucial X6) and I have the page file set to be managed by the system.

My game still stutters... I can only play for a few minutes and then starts stuttering.

[IronAceShowcase]

My game keeps randomly lagging , I can't recreate the bug because its so random. Anyone else have this issue?

[tallgeese]

According to GeForce Experience, my hardware can run the game no problem at 60FPS with all settings maxed and DLSS on Balanced.

I can barely achieve 50-60FPS (50FPS being the lowest it will go when FPS drops while swinging or fighting) with RT turned off (not what GFE recommended).

I have a 5900x that sits around 18-25% usage (very low) and my 3070 TI hangs around 70-80% usage. VRAM sits around 6.7GBs used out of potential 8GBs.

Messaggio originale di TheChoppah:

Also a little problem I have encountered is even if I put the dialogue in English, some line on the JJJ radio still sound in Italian (My standard language)

I noticed the same but in French. Mostly the people on the street you can interact with, and once (so far) during JJJ Podcast (not JJJ himself but the person who calls during the broadcast).
My Steam is in french and I play ith english voices.

Messaggio originale di Serginho:

last patch fixed bad performance on a 3070 laptop. But now is running with a worst performance ever... FPS drops down a lot, 1, 5, 7, 24 fps, principally when i'm flying over the buildings... it's a shame :/

I am running RTX2060 smoothly on my laptop at 50~60fps...but I am still getting occasionally memory issue which instantly crash

I do also have error crash with a dxgi error; earlier it says my gpu was not good enough even though the game runs pretty well, then after launching the with admin rights, it still crash except this time it said; dxgi error device removed.

This used to happen to me with RDR2 even though I was running the game at 60FPS with most of the settings maxed out. I honestly think it's a problem with DLSS. Are you using DLSS?
