📋 About This Mod

I'm only uploading this because I got a lot of requests for it but I don't think it is playable due to on the fly shader compiliation. (stuttering)

AVX2 Emulation:

In order to play Spider-Man 2 your CPU must support AVX2, failing to do so prevents the game from booting up.

This mod is using Intels SDE tool to emulate the missing AVX2 instruction on older cpus.

Awesome right? Well.. this comes at a performance hit, an overclocked i7 (2700k, 3770k) or xeon is required.

Depending on the CPU and overclock you should be able to hit 15-30FPS.

Information:

- Depending on your system it can take anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes to boot up. Check taskmanager for the game process.

- Due to no shader compiliation at the start there are a lot of stutters and it will take a while for everything to be compiled and framerate to even out.

Installation:

1. Download and unzip this AVX2 mod.

2. Move all the files in to your game folder next to the Spider-Man2.exe file.

3. Start the game via the included Spider-Man2-AVX2-Launcher file.

Uninstall:

Delete the SDE folder and Spider-Man2-AVX2-Launcher.bat
