Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 fans on PC, there’s good news for you! Just a week after the last update, a brand-new patch (Version 1.312.0.0) has dropped, and it brings better performance, fewer bugs, and smoother gameplay.

This update mainly focuses on improving the overall experience rather than adding new missions or content.

If you’ve been playing as Venom or swinging through the city fighting Symbiotes, you’ll definitely feel the difference. Plus, if you love taking screenshots in Photo Mode or use different controllers, there are some important fixes just for you.

What’s New in the Latest Patch?

Patch 5 for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC is here to make your game more stable, smoother, and bug-free. Here’s what’s improved:

Better performance with Venom gameplay – Especially when you’re in fights or watching cutscenes.

Smoother shadows and lighting with ray tracing – Thanks to DLSS Ray Reconstruction improvements.

No more Photo Mode bugs – Your keyboard and mouse won’t freeze when you switch input devices.

Improved UI – Menus and settings are now more responsive, and annoying bugs have been fixed.

Water reflections are more realistic – No more flickering when you look at large water areas.

Detailed Fixes You’ll Notice

Let’s break down some of the more technical but useful updates:

DirectStorage updated to version 1.2.3 for faster loading.

Fixed bugs in Prowler side missions, where UI wouldn’t load properly with certain settings.

Hunter Blinds minigame controls now stay inside the game screen.

You can now map the Gadget Modifier to the middle mouse button without it breaking Photo Mode.

Ray-traced ambient occlusion and shadows now look better and perform more efficiently.

Bug fixed where hovering over headers in the settings would trigger unwanted sound effects.

Some language settings now show correct line breaks and button prompts.

The FNSM app now displays the correct Xbox controller prompt ([HOLD] instead of [SWIPE]).

Why This Update Matters

If you’ve faced random crashes, stutters, or visual glitches, this patch solves a lot of those problems. These changes may seem small on paper, but together they offer a more polished, immersive experience. Especially if you’re running the game on a high-end PC with ray tracing turned on, you’ll really appreciate these updates.

Also, the team behind the game is clearly listening to player feedback. Many of these bugs were reported by players, and now they’re fixed. That’s a great sign for the future of the game on PC.

A Better Experience for Everyone

This update doesn’t add new content, but that’s okay. Instead, it focuses on making sure the existing game runs as smoothly as possible. Whether you’re doing side quests, exploring the open world, or just snapping cool photos in Photo Mode, you’ll feel the difference.

Marvel fans who love to replay the game or newcomers just getting started will both enjoy a cleaner, more stable gameplay session after this patch.
