Nixxes has just released Title Update 8 for the PC version of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this eighth patch brings to the table.
Update 8 improves performance in areas with trees. Thus, the game should now run better in specific areas. Moreover, this new patch finally addresses the flickering issues that you’d get on character hair when using Ray Reconstruction. So, now, you can safely enable NVIDIA’s RR tech.
Patch 8 also packs a number of visual fixes. For instance, the transition between the wet and dry parts of Spider-Men suit no longer appears pixelated. Plus, the update fixes a bug where AMD users could see rainbow pixelated artefacts with Ray Tracing.
The game should also be more stable than before. Title Update 8 fixes a crash that could occur when exiting the game during vehicle chases. It also fixes a bug that could cause the mouse to become unresponsive after canceling the change character pop-up.
It’s been a while since I last ran Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Still, it’s at least good to see Nixxes keep supporting it. The PC version came out in January 2025. And, as I wrote in my PC Performance Analysis, the PC port felt a bit rushed. To its credit, Nixxes has fixed a lot of its issues. So, thankfully, this latest version should feel better.
Like always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
