| + | ===High frame rate issues=== | ||
| + | {{ii}} The removal of the 30 FPS cap may introduce a number of issues relating to mechanics that tie their function to the frame rate. Some examples include: | ||
| + | * The health meter during the gas station defense mission draining much faster than intended, making the mission harder to complete. This bug also affects similar meter-based mechanics, such as Rhino's rage meter later in the game. | ||
| + | * The timing of Web Strikes requiring much more precision due to a shortened window of opportunity. | ||
| + | * Mouse sensitivity and camera control reacting to the variable framerate, leading to inconsistent responses to player input. | ||
| + | * Some 2D elements animating faster than intended while other effects remain locked at 30 FPS. | ||

Warnings
- SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows Vista and later (see Availability for affected versions).
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows was developed by Shaba Games and Treyarch, and ported to PC by Aspyr Media. The PC version was released on October 21, 2008 and is based on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game. As such, it does not include the alternate suits, the ability to throw objects while wearing the Black Suit, the quick time event from the Symbiote Wolverine fight, and the alternative quick time event fail animation from the Vulture boss fight found in the Nintendo Wii version.[1]
On release the PC version was missing several graphical effects from its console counterparts (bloom, motion blur, character outlines while using Spider-Sense, and some particle effects), and suffered from a reduced draw distance and level of detail (LOD). A v1.1 patch was released to address some of these issues.
Despite the game being designed to run at 30 FPS, the official 1.1 patch removed the frame rate cap. As a result, some mechanics and scripted sequences that are tied to the frame rate may not function as intended.

Issues fixed
High frame rate issues
- The removal of the 30 FPS cap may introduce a number of issues relating to mechanics that tie their function to the frame rate. Some examples include:
- The health meter during the gas station defense mission draining much faster than intended, making the mission harder to complete. This bug also affects similar meter-based mechanics, such as Rhino's rage meter later in the game.
- The timing of Web Strikes requiring much more precision due to a shortened window of opportunity.
- Mouse sensitivity and camera control reacting to the variable framerate, leading to inconsistent responses to player input.
- Some 2D elements animating faster than intended while other effects remain locked at 30 FPS.
| Cap the frame rate to 30 FPS using a compatible third-party tool. |
