Issues unresolved
Cannot boot on Windows 10 operating systems
Ultimate Spider-Man cannot boot on Windows 10 operating systems due to the removal of the SafeDisc driver from Windows 10 operating systems. The driver was originally made to prevent piracy of games released around this time on personal computers. But, windows has discontinued support fro the service after Windows 8.1. The only known current way of fixing the problem is downloading a crack to play the game that negates the SafeDisc driver check. The second possible way is to force the installation of the unsigned driver on Windows 10, but that leaves the operating system to a number of exploits linked to the driver. It's recommended to instead use a virtual machine to emulate a previous operating system in full, or run the game on an older computer until someone designs a fix for this problem.
Unable to move diagonally when playing with XInput controller
- Tested with Xbox One Controller.
Issues fixed
Run the game at screen refresh rate
