Insomniac Games and Nixxes Software have released Patch 8 for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC, and this ushers in a new set of technical improvements and bug fixes. PC players will see this as Marvel’s Spider Man 2 update version 1.408.0.0, and this should be a small download.

The funny thing here is, now with the patch installed, Spider-Man (both heroes) can now swing and not be affected by trees as much.
