How to Fix The Amazing Spiderman 2 Frames per second/Lag

How to Fix The Amazing Spiderman 2 Frames per second/Lag
Warning as far as I know this will only work for people with Nvidia Graphics Cards
You can fix the game by going into the Nvidia Control Panel
Click on manage 3D settings
Click on Program Settings
Make sure it has your graphics card selected for the graphics processor
Click on Add
Note: The settings that are bolded are the ones I had to change
These should be your settings:
Ambient Occlusion: Not supported for this application
Anisotropic filtering: Use global setting (Applicaton controlled)
Antialiasing-FXAA: Use global setting (Off)
Antialiasing-Gamma Correction: Use global setting (On)
Antialiasing-Mode: Enhance the application setting
Antialiasing-Setting: 8x CSAA
Antialiasing-Transparency: Use global setting (Off)
CUDA-GPUs: Use global setting (All)
Maximum pre-rendered frames : 1
Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration: Use global setting(Multiple display perfor..
Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
Shader Cache: Use global setting (On)
Texture filtering-Anisotropic sample opti…: Off
Texture filtering-Negative LOD bias: Use global setting (Allow)

Texture filtering-Quality: High Quality
NOTE: (if your computer can’t handle high quality then you might want to try and set it from highest quality settings to lowest quality settings in the order listed and choose the setting that you get the best performance out of. (The texture quality is in this order: High Quality, Quality, Performance, High Performance)
Texture filtering-Trilinear optimization: On
Threaded optimization: On
Triple buffering: On
Vertical sync: Use global setting (Use the 3D application…
Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames: Use global setting (1)


These are my settings for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Launcher:
Note you might have to change some of the settings to lower settings in order to get better performance.
Language: English(US)
Full screen ON
Resolution 1600x900(16:9)
Note:If you have a higher resolution monitor you can probably set the resolution higher you just might have to lower the graphics settings)
V sync Off
Depth of field Off
Motion Blur Off
Texture quality High
Anisotropic filtering 8x
Anti-Aliasing: Medium
FX: High
Lighting: High
Shadows: High
Note: You may have to set your shadow detail lower because for some reason the shadow detail takes off about 10 frames per second as you progress in detail
City Life density: Medium
Note:You can lower this to gain drastic performance
Draw distance: Medium
Note: You can lower this to gain drastic performance

These are the specifications of my computer
Intel Core i7-3630QM CPU@ 2.4 GHz 2.4 GHz
8 GB ram
Nvidia 650m Graphics Card

In congested areas of the game were there was a lot of stuff on the screen I get 45 frames per second on average.
In uncongested areas of the game were there isn’t too much stuff on the screen I get 55 frames per second on average.

Before I did all of this I was getting 15 frames per second on average.

Please make sure to tell people about this fix because a lot of people don’t know how to fix the fps/lag.

dude, you made my evening :) thanks a lot, it really works, i have 45-60 fps on my fx-8350 and gtx780 now :)

Implementing your instructions helped me with extremely low FPS on a decent machine.
Big thanks to you.

Bro! you are awesome it reduced stuttering whenever I change lanes now it doesn't

[Name's Joystick]

Can't belive its actually helped me.

[ShiftyMarmot]

Thank you.

To anyone still suffering from stuttering or even short freezes after trying everything above - perhaps you have a CPU with too many cores, like a Threadripper.

To mitigate this the only thing that helped was to set Affinity - assign a limited number of cores to the game.

In my case, I have used a tool called Process Lasso - it lets you permanently set app priority and affinity.

So you launch the game and the tool. Alt+Tab to the tool and right click the game -> Set Affinity -> Always-> Select CPU Affinity

Now it's seems especially important for this game to set it to CPUs on the same CCX and the Node when Multithread optimization is enabled in Nvidia control panel. So you need to tweak it for your own CPU.

For me, giving it CPU 24 to CPU 43 (10 Cores, 20 Threads) gave the best results. I have tried all kinds of combination including giving 1-2 cores, 8 like it's on PS4 where the game is optimized, or even all of them. But the setting above gave the best result for my CPU.

Also with Multithread optimization disabled - the best result was half the CPUs on Node 1 and another half on Node 2. Multithread optimization gave better result though. Also prior to tweaking I have set priority to High for this game in Process Lasso.

After this it runs smooth 60 FPS on Amazing Preset, V-Sync forced through Control Panel with Reshade RTGI and other stuff.

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix the stuttering/fps drops on my i7-12700k? In the past with another older game, setting the affinity to cores 0 - 3 resolved a similar issue, but it didn't work with Amazing Spider-Man 2. I also tried using Process Lasso as you suggested, but it didn't help.

You mentioned it needed to be tweaked differently for each CPU. About the "same CCX", the "Nodes", thread optimization, and selecting the correct set of cores. I'm not sure how to apply this to my Intel CPU. Does my CPU even have Nodes, and can I see which cores are on which nodes? Do I really have to just try every combination of cores? Any advice?

Hey xDD90x! !

The solution that worked for me back then was for a more extreme case of a Threadripper 3960X with 24 Cores where cores are divided into CCX on a Die. I think its much different for i7-12700k, which has 12 cores, 8 performance, 4 efficiency, so not sure I could advice.

Anyway, since then there was a patch released, available on PC Wiki for Amazing Spider-Man 2 which could resolve this issue. Just scroll down into the section: " Issues unresolved • Low performance or stuttering - 4Gb Patch". Just google PC Wiki Amazing Spider-Man 2

I've tried the "4GB patch", but it didn't help. In fact, I've tried every solution I could find on the web. I guess I'll keep trying. Thanks anyway. Appreciate it.
