Issues fixed

Run on Windows 10

Install Widescreen Fix^{[citation needed]}

To run the game on Windows 10, you must download the Ultimate Spider-Man Widescreen Fix and extract all files to the main game folder.
The map texture during the player’s game-play outside map menu won’t appear, safe for the dots such as the player, destinations and alerts still exist and active. A workaround for this is to open the UltimateSpiderMan.WidescreenFix.ini file and change FixHUD = 1 to FixHUD = 0, this will however stretch the HUD in widescreen resolutions.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.

Set screen refresh rate^{[citation needed]}
Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created. Open `<path-to-game>\d3d9.ini` or `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\USM.exe\SpecialK.ini` depending on the installation method you used. Change `RefreshRate=-1` to `RefreshRate=0` under `[Render.FrameRate]`.

Mouse cursor does not remain inside the window

Lock mouse cursor^{[citation needed]}
Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide. Start the game and press `Ctrl`+`⇧ Shift`+`← Backspace` to toggle Special K's Control Panel. Expand "Window Management" and "Input/Output Behavior". Set "Cursor Boundaries" to "Keep Inside Window" and close the Control Panel. Press `Ctrl`+`⇧ Shift`+`O` to toggle Special K's On-Screen Display.
