Install the latest Graphics Drivers

You can reinstall the Graphics Drivers by removing the existing Graphics card drivers from the respective Nvidia or AMD websites. Nvidia and AMD have released their latest Drivers to support Spider-Man Remastered as the game features exclusive technologies from both GPU manufacturers.

Verify all the Game Files

The game is released on both Steam and Epic Games. Verify the installation files using the respective launcher on which you have your fun on.

Verify the game’s files to ensure your computer isn’t missing any critical files that might be causing this error.

  1. Go to your Steam Library

Underclock your GPU

If you have your GPU overclocked, underclock it or revert its settings back to default. Always refrain from overclocking your Graphics card as one of the root causes of game errors and bugs is faulty Graphics card hardware.

Tone Down the Video Settings

If you don’t meet the recommended settings, try toning down the in-game settings. The game is pretty resource hungry so make sure you have your settings toned down if your system is not capable of handling the game at ultra settings. You can also use the presets in the game to check if you are having issues or not.
