To say that Spider Man 2‘s January PC release underwhelmed many players would be… generous. “Even with the current patches they’ve done. For me the some how made it worse, I can’t say it’ll be like this for everyone’s experience but the games seems to crash even more than before, Stutters still and the Audio when pausing bugs out completely, Game freezes til the game catches up the audio.
