Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 uses inverted camera controls by default. To see how you can change these to normal so that the camera will move in the same direction where you are pointing the right analog stick, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

1. If you haven’t done so already, open the Settings menu in Spider-Man 2. This can be done from either the main menu or pause screen.

3. In the Controls Settings screen, move the cursor down to Invert Look Control option, which should have the following description:

Choose to invert controls while using the camera to look either up/down (Y-Axis,) left/right (X-Axis,) or invert both.

By default, Invert Look Control option is set to “Invert Both.” To make it non-inverted, you need to change it to “Off.”

When you return to playing Spider-Man 2 again, the camera should no longer be inverted.

Lost Connection. You have been disconnected. Please check your connection and then tap OK to retry.

To see how you can fix this internet issue for this mobile spin-off Mortal Kombat title, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article at Seeking Tech.

You may end up seeing the following error when playing the PlayStation 4 version of Roblox:

Disconnected. Please check your internet connection and try again. (Error Code: 277)

In this case, avoid downloading or streaming on the same network you are using to play Roblox.

How to fix frame rate issues in the PS4 version of Roblox

by

You may notice that the PlayStation 4 version of Roblox may not run as smoothly as you would like. To see how you can potentially fix the frequent frame rate droops and stutters, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, you can try turning down the Graphics Quality by doing the following:

  • Press the Options button while you are in a game to open the Roblox menu.
  • Use the L1 and R1 buttons to switch tabs until you get to Settings.
  • In Settings, make sure that Graphics Mode is set to Manual.
  • Afterwards, use the Graphics Quality bar to reduce the text quality in the game.

2. Some Roblox experiences may also come with visual effects that can be turned on, which could lead to a smoother frame rate.

To access these options, look for the Settings menu for that particular experience. If you see visual effect options (such as shadows, fog and more) try to disable them to see if it helps improve the fps.

3. If possible, you can also try playing the PS4 version of Roblox on better hardware. The PlayStation 4 Pro should be able to run the game with better performance.

Of course, you should be able to get a much better frame rate by playing Roblox on the newer PlayStation 5 console.

4. It is also important to note that some of the Roblox games may be more demanding when compared to others. So, if you find the frame rate to be too distracting in one experience, then you can try playing another one to see if the fps is smoother there.

5. It is a good idea that you keep the PS4 version updated as well since a new patch may help improve the frame rate due to better optimization.

How to reset your avatar position in the PS4 version of Roblox

2. In the pop-up menu, select Respawn Character.

How to close pop-ups in the PS4 version of Roblox

by

When playing a Roblox game on your PS4, you may get menus or notifications that appear and stay on the screen. To see how you can close these pop-ups, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

Before we start, it should be noted that Roblox started out on the PC; therefore, the user interfaces for a lot of the games are based on using a mouse or keyboard. So, using a DualShock 4 or DualSense can be very cumbersome.

In order to close pop-ups, you have to bring up the Game Toggle Menu. This will let you switch the controls from gameplay to menu navigation. In order to do so, press down on the touch pad of your DualSense or DualShock 4 controller.

You should now be able to move around the menus. The navigation is either done with a big circle (similar to a mouse cursor) or from teleporting from one selectable area in the menu to another.

Either way, you should be able to close the pop-ups after you gain control of menu navigation.
