Issues fixed
Run on Windows 10
|
Install Widescreen Fix[citation needed]
|
- To run the game on Windows 10, you must download a cracked executable which can't be officially provided by the wiki and 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.
|

- Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
|
Set screen refresh rate[citation needed]

- Change
RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0 under [Render.FrameRate].
