What a technical mess!
I was really looking forward to this game, and this it looks and plays great there are serious Frame Rate and Shuttering Issues!!! Even at the lowest possible settings there is no difference in performance! How can that be?

I have 32 Gigs of RAM and a AMD Radeon HD 6970 2GB. Anyone else experiencing issues?

I am also having issues with jumpy animations and jerky camera controls. I'm hoping this will be optimized soon. It makes it kinda tough to webswing when there is a delayed reaction.

Yes, this is one of the worst ports to PC in recent memory. Performance is all over the place, it is sometimes higher then 60 fps but it actually drops briefly to the 30 fps range or even 25ish fps sometimes. The first one (Amazing Spider Man 1) actually looked and ran way better, and even though the framerate was up and down a lot, it was not this bad. This is one of the only games I have bought on Steam where I actually am so offended by ts quality I want to email Steam support and demand my money back, and I have bought some absolute pieces of garbage. Activision should be ashamed.

uh my GTX650 and 8GB runs this on Amazing settings, smooth as butter.

GTX 660 ti, not a death sentence but it really stutters sometimes. Needs some optimisation, although overall i like this game.

I've had zero problems so far. Running on a HD 6970. Smooth as silk all around. I'm one level below "amazing" graphics settings, but to be fair, I haven't tried to bump it up yet.

I've been playing it on my GTX 750TI 2GB with an intel i7 3770k processor and 16GB of ram and I've been having slowdown and pop-in issues too on all graphics settings. It doesn't matter which one I choose, in fact the lower ones seem to run WORSE. I don't understand. It's really poorly optimised.

Fun to swing around when it's working, though.

How could anyone not see this coming?

Well, one thing I noticed was that turning the motion blur off seems to do absolutely bugger all. My computer's fine if I leave Spidey stood still, but when I have him walk to an edge it lags to hell since any sort of movement makes blurs all over the screen

ive been playing for a few hours and right off the bat when peter is walking before he hears the gun shot i got stuck on a car and he started seizuring, took a few seconds to correct itself.. then a few times now the loading screen just hung there, or when i took a snapshot the game froze a few seconds.. loving the game so far but the technical issues are pretty bad so far..

Is there a way to turn off motion blur?

Im getting really bad stuttering on cutscenes.. running on a GTX Titan, i7 4770k and 16gb ram.. other than that its at 60 fps

My brother has this and thought that his GTX 770 wasn't up to running the game because of how much the framerate drops. One look at the shocking graphics and I knew straight away this game was not running into any hardware bottlenecks!

I set up Afterburner's OSD to display all his GPU and CPU stats in-game and most of the time, the 770 is tootlling along at about 50% clock speed because the graphics are so basic (even on max settings). When horrendous fps drops occur, neither the GPU (still sat at half clock speed and ~50% usage) or any of the 4 CPU cores are even breaking a sweat. The engine is horrible/broken/lame and to charge £30 for this is bordering on criminal.

weird, I have everything on the highest setting except for city density (medium). I don't lag at all or have any fps drops..

i5, 16 ram, gtx 660, win 7 64 bit. its probably cuz alienware. :cwat:

It's only at certain places it happens, you might not have noticed it but it will be there. Generally, webslinging is fine but in certain areas, you only have to stand still and rotate the camera to observe a 15-20fps drop. Some people for some reason are far more tolerant to these drops but personally, I can't stand them so I'll always drop my settings until I get a solid 60fps. This is all on an i7 3770k @ 4.5GHz, 16GB of RAM and the Asus GTX 770 OC @ 1280MHz.

My brother and I aren't particulalrly bothered if they fix this or not because even if they do, the game still looks horrible. It looks like a HD remake of an old game - 1080p textures slapped onto incredibly basic models.
