Spider-Man 2 PC Patch 1.212.1.0 Enhances Screen Space Reflections, Activates DLSS Ray Reconstruction for Native Resolution, and More Improvements

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC Patch 1.212.1.0: Key Updates and Improvements

The highly anticipated second patch for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC is officially released, bringing with it a host of enhancements and crucial bug fixes. The developers are addressing concerns raised by players in order to refine the gaming experience significantly.

Focused Stability Improvements

The primary objective of Patch 1.212.1.0 is to bolster game stability, particularly for players using AMD GPUs. A notable adjustment includes the disabling of Anti-Lag 2, which had inadvertently triggered SDK initialization problems leading to driver crashes. This change aims to provide a smoother and more stable gameplay experience for users on AMD hardware.

Enhanced Features and Bug Fixes

Beyond stability tweaks, this patch introduces several noteworthy features:

Improved mouse sensitivity adjustability
Enhanced screen-space reflections for more realistic visuals
New options for *NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction*, allowing gamers to enable it at native resolution or select the Ultra Performance setting
Compatibility with Nintendo Switch Pro controllers via Steam Input

The full details can be found in the official patch notes.

Launch Challenges and Ongoing Issues

Despite the positive strides made with this patch, the launch of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PC just two weeks ago was marred by multiple stability and visual issues. A recent report by Alessio indicated that players experienced significant technical hurdles, which have yet to be fully resolved.

Upon further exploration, issues such as flickering character hair during cutscenes have surfaced. This, combined with occasional crashes, has caused players to hesitate before fully embracing the PC version of the game. It is worth noting that NVIDIA has announced plans to introduce *DLSS Multi Frame Generation* support in the near future, which could enhance performance further.
