Just like the first two installments in the series, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 features a setting where you can make the character animation render at a low frame rate. By enabling this feature, the game will give off a similar visual flair as the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse animated films.

To see how you can turn on or turn off the low frame rate character animations, you can check out this tutorial.

1. To change the frame rate for character animations, you need to first unlock a suit in the game that uses this feature. When you do, you should see a Congratulations message saying that you have unlocked Film Style Animation.

2. With the required setting unlocked, make your way to the Settings menu.

In order to do so within the game, press the Options button on the DualSense and then select Settings. On the next screen, select Visual.

3. In the Visual Settings menu, scroll down and then move the cursor to Film Style Animation. It should show the following description:

When playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, your character may end up getting stuck as if he can’t move past the invisible walls surrounding him. To see how you can potentially fix these issues, you can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech.

Temporary Fix

For a temporary fix, you need to load into an earlier save file. In order to do so, you need to do the following:

If you are still playing the game, then you need to press the Options button to open the in-game menu and then select Quit.

From the main menu, select your Save Slot.

In the Continue Game screen, you can either select Continue to load your most recent save or Load Game to choose between your previous manual or automatic save files. Hopefully, you won’t lose out on a lot of progression.

When you load back into an older save file, try to avoid getting stuck in the same place again.

Permanent Fix

For a more permanent fix, you need to wait until the development team at Insomniac Games addresses the invisible wall issues.

To manually check if a new patch is available for this superhero game, go back to the home screen of the PS5. From there, move the cursor over to the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 logo and then press the Options button. Finally, select the Check for Update available.

The new update may help reduce the frequency of you getting stuck in the environment geometry.

In some scenarios, you may see an overheating message when playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. This may occur during one of the missions where Miles Morales needs to control a drone or in the Mysterio quest.

To see how you can prevent your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console from overheating, you can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, you should make sure that you have enough free air space around your console. Sony recommends that you leave at least 4 inches of empty space surrounding the PS5.

Furthermore, you should also make sure that you leave the system with an open top. Otherwise, the heat will end up getting trapped if something is blocking the top of the console.

2. If the room temperature is hot, then it may cause the console to overheat faster than usual. In this case, you can try cooling the room down by opening the window, using a fan or turning on the air conditioner.

3. You should also make sure that your console isn’t dusty as the particles will be slowing down the airflow needed to cool its internals. If you need to clean your gaming system, then we suggest taking a look at TronicsFix’s helpful video guide below:

4. You can also try changing the Graphics Mode in Spider-Man 2. You can do so by going to Settings > Visual > Graphics Mode.

5. Make sure you have the latest patch downloaded for the game.

A new update may make the performance more efficient, potentially leading to less hardware usage and, therefore, lessen the chance of the console overheating.

6. You should also check to see if you have the latest firmware downloaded and installed for your PlayStation 5 as well.

Marvel’s Spider Man-2 features a somewhat intrusive heads-up display, especially during combat sequences. If you would like to hide the HUD in this open-world superhero game, then you can check out this guide from Seeking Tech to see how you can properly do so.

1. To begin, you need to head into the Settings menu and then select UI.

2. You should now be in the UI Settings menu, which is where you need to scroll down and then move the cursor over to Hide HUD. This option should be showing the following description:

Turn On to hide the Head-Up Display (HUD).

3. By default, the Hide HUD option is set to “Off.” To make the heads-up display invisible, make sure you set it to “On” instead.

4. Afterwards, exit out of the Settings menu and then return to playing Spider-Man 2. You should notice a more immersive experience due to the lack of overlayed menus during combat and exploration.

When playing Spider-Man 2, you may occasionally see controller hints appear on the bottom left side of the screen. If you find that these pop-ups to be too distracting and/or unhelpful, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can disable the messages.

Marvel’s Spider Man 2 features a lot of chaotic combat scenarios where you will be surrounded by a bunch of enemies. If you find that you have a hard time dodging in this superhero game, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can make dodging easier.

Method #1:

For the first method, you can try lowering the game speed. In order to do so, you need to head over to the Settings menu and then select Gameplay.

In the Gameplay section, you will find the Game Speed option, which has the following description:

Adjust the game speed for all gameplay. Does not affect audio or cinematics.

The Game Speed is set to 100% by default. You will be able to slow the gameplay down to 30%, 50% or 70%. During gameplay, you will also be able to adjust the speed in real-time with the left and right directional buttons.

By slowing down the game, you should have more time to identify incoming enemy attacks, which should make them easier to dodge.

Method #2:

Spider-Man 2 also has a setting where you can dodge all attacks by simply holding the dodge button. To turn this feature on, head to Settings and then select Controls.

Next, scroll down until you get to Continuous Dodge. This should be showing the following description:

When enabled, hold Circle to continuously dodge.

By turning on this feature, you can simply hold down the dodge button and Spider-Man will be able to evade all dodgeable attacks. As a result, you don’t have to worry about timing.

You may experience motion sickness in Marvel’s Spider Man 2 due to the fast-paced combat and exploration, which cause the camera to move around hastily. To see how you can prevent yourself from feeling nauseated when playing this superhero game, you can check out this article from Seeking Tech.

1. Spider-Man 2 offers an accessibility option for those who get motion sick easily while playing videogames.

To turn this on, open the Settings menu in the game and then select Accessibility from there. You should find the Motion Sensitivity Preset from there.

By enabling this setting, you will turn on the following features:

• Slow Corner Time Scale
• Center Dot

The following will also be disabled:

• Camera Shake
• Swing Camera Motion
• UI Parallaxing
• Motion Blur
• Film Grain
• Chromatic Aberration
• Fullscreen Effects
• Depth of Field

All of these can be turned off individually in the Settings menu as well if you want to disable some of them but keep other features enabled.

2. There are also a few things you can do personally to alleviate the motion sickness symptoms.

If possible, you can try chewing gum while playing Spider-Man 2. Staying hydrated and having a fan blow on your face should also be helpful.

3. If you start to feel nauseated, it is best that you stop playing immediately as soldering on would only lead to you getting sicker.

We recommend that you play until you start feeling motion sickness. You should then stop until you recover and feel normal again. Over time, you should be able to play in longer sessions without experience nausea as you get more familiar with the camera movements in Spider-Man 2.

When playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, you may find that you have a hard time hearing the dialogue. To see how you can make the voices clearer, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

1. To start off, head to the Settings screen in the game.

2. From there, make your way to Audio.

3. In the Audio Settings screen, scroll down and then move the cursor to Voice Boost. This setting should have the following description:

When enabled, dialogue in the game is turned up to be more audible. When characters are speaking, it adjusts other sounds, so the dialogue is clearer.

4. Make sure you set Voice Boost to On.

5. Afterwards, you can close the Settings screen and then return to playing the superhero game.

If the dialogue volume is still too low, then you can return to the Audio Settings screen. From there, you can try turning down the Music Volume, UI Volume and SFX Volume sliders while keeping the Global Volume and Speech Volume sliders at the maximum.

Test out the new volume levels to see if the dialogue sounds louder.
