this mod is only a gamma fix, not interested in making a full mod, someone else can do that

TL;DR it looks like in an update nixxes borked the gamma cbuffer. The first game blends the ui and scene in srgb and then linearizes with 2.35. For some reason Nixxes set the cbuffer to 1.9 in the first game and miles morales, seems to be the same issue here

Nexus Mods :: Marvel's Spider-Man 2

Fixes for gamma and incorrect behavior of UI brightness slider when HDR is enabled

#

first game had crashes with RT enabled if using cbuffers, I think its the same with this game

#

idk though i don't own it, koklusz sent me the shader dump

#

need someone to test if it works

#

@lime holly

#

just take a screenshot of the main menu with and without the mod

#

iirc the game cycles through different menu backgrounds so it might take multiple tries to get the same background for a comparison screenshot

https://github.com/KoKlusz/HDR-Gaming-Database/discussions/39 i see this recommendation here is for 41 brightness. Fixing the gamma should have no affect on this, right?

they broke it in an update apparently

thin swift
#

this mentions that in post

#

unless they didnt update the settings

#

oh i see what you mean

those 4 pics at the end are from the release build

Does the ui brightness slider work fine

crystal tulip
#

seems like

brave steppe
#

Noice

crystal tulip
#

This port is omega cursed btw
Getting a bunch of visual glitches
and frame rate drops, but only when Vsync is on, lol

#

And it's not DirectStorage, I've deleted the files, and the issue persists

last whale
#

maybe this is a stupid question, but if this mod only fixes gamma, what's the difference between this and something like the lilium's black floor fix?

#

sorry if this is a noob question but I used to fix hdr gamma mismatch in the past with that shader or with an AHS script which changed my gamma from scrgb to 2.2. is this different in any way?

thin swift
#

it cant fix an already implemented bad correction

@crystal tulip im assuming 50 is paperwhite 300? any idea whats close to 200?

tough nymph
#

this wont work with RT on right?

crystal tulip
#

Can't remember excacly now

crystal tulip
tough nymph
#

nice

#

man this game is the most insufferable sonyslop shit, I want to play as SPIDER MAN but it forces you to play hours of schoolboy parker and then all the other crap, and playing as mary jane taking on a mercenary army with a taser gun

#

in spiderman 1 and miles morales its just that the gamma cbuffer was set to 1.9 for some reason

thin swift
#

Oh odd

thin swift
brave steppe
#

i only ever saw 1.9 in spiderman 1 and miles morales

#

the tonemapping is also different

#

and the brightness slider applies before tonemapping

thin swift
#

@crystal tulip thoughts?

thin swift
#

Modern hdr baby! Let’s go!

brave steppe
#

I probably wouldn't bother with movign the in game brightness slider

#

it just ends up giving a broken input to the tonemapper by brightening it

thin swift
#

so if you dont move you just have to wear sunglasses

#

or see the worst ABL of my life

brave steppe
#

i mean use lilium brightness shader

#

you just need to raise the in game peak to compensate

#

the brightness doesn't cleanly translate to a paper white value

thin swift
#

can lilliums brightness do negative?

#

and even if it doesn't translate evenly, its the only in game way to reduce it at all lol

#

ill have to look into lilliums then

#

i guess i could do default with 1500 nits peak with 66% with lilliums or however it scales

brave steppe
#

like you can do 0.5

thin swift
#

also btw i think this is fine with RT

#

couple of hours with no crashes

brave steppe
#

the cbuffers with rt are what cause crashes

#

I disabled those

thin swift
#

oh i see

#

does that actually have any effect on the game? other than not crashing

brave steppe
#

that's what allows for sliders

thin swift
#

ah gatcha

brave steppe
#

actually I do have a way to add a disable button for the mod

#

which just unloads the custom shader entirely

#

so that should work

thin swift
#

also btw crazy that you have malware on my pc or something
you put this out right as i started playing the game when ive been thinking about it for months

#

im onto you

brave steppe
#

I was given money to do it

thin swift
#

oh sick

earnest coyote
#

@brave steppe add to git

novel adder
crystal tulip
#

PS5 superior HW confirmed

brave steppe
brave steppe
#

ok

#

done

#

oh

#

the actual fake one

#

too late I already deleted mine

earnest coyote
#

sometimes i just wanna

#

punch you

simple ledge
#

Haven't touched it in a while, but I'm assuming rt will still be a no go for me

I was surprised df didn't make any videos on the pc port

broken nimbus
#

all nixxes ports recently suffer from extreme cpu load for some reason

novel adder
#

Ps5 cpu is zen2, not very powerful… so lazy optimization I guess

@brave steppe DID YOU REMOVE THE SM2 LINE ON THE GITHUB WITHOUT PUTTING YOUR OWN

#

ARE YOU STUPID

#

bro is washing out games and then doing

#

arghhhhhhhhhh

#

i swear bro does everything to break my jimmies

tepid schooner
#

new sm2 link?

red cedar
#

it's pinned 🤯

brave steppe
#

It’s now in the repo

#

Guess I can upload to nexus

earnest coyote
#

he prefs to do all ubislop reno than do one nixxes peak brightness uncapper kekpepehands

brave steppe
#

Too much work

#

Also don’t wanna have to download this game to make a real mod

broken nimbus
earnest coyote
#

and then ubertonemappass it

broken nimbus
#

you can just hijack the in game slider

#

make it 6.66x

novel adder
#

And create a dlc

brave steppe
#

They’re the same

#

Yes

aahh

#

I see

earnest coyote
#

@tough nymph any clue if RR or preset M is better

broken nimbus
#

both trash

#

ghosting or noise

#

pick your poison

earnest coyote
broken nimbus
#

looks clean at least

earnest coyote
#

topo mucj glitches without RR aswell

#

like blinking shaders

dull osprey

#

nah just dont play this trash

#

one of the most broken pc ports of 2025

simple ledge
#

I just play the high seas version with patches up to patch 3 or 4. That was the last build with acceptable performance for my rig

eternal river
#

As in it got worse with later patches?

simple ledge
#

Yeah. Around patch 5 or so, ray tracing performance got nuked for me on a 3090. Prior to that patch, I was able to play 1440p high ray tracing at dlss quality or dlss dynamic res at a locked 60

#

Now ray tracing causes major drops when I reach the bottom of a swing and get near street level

tepid schooner
#

rt perf was always trash tbf, just disable it

#

bad since sm1

broken nimbus
#

extra bad in sm2 because of gpu decompression

simple ledge
tepid schooner
#

and it doesn't even look that much better really

simple ledge
#

Yeah I don't want high frame rate. I'm trying to get 60 with ray tracing. Ps5 or better is what I'm aiming for

tepid schooner
#

you would when every version of RT in any spiderman games causes stutter

simple ledge
#

idk. Sm1 and miles I can run with rt smooth and locked

#

just sm2 runs like ass

dull osprey
#

Some recommended setting
Disable rtao and rt shadows, they are bugged
AO - SSAO is better

earnest coyote
#

i did the entire game with them

lololol
