In the first mission during the fight with Sandman, when Spider-Man Peter throws the water tower, it is expected that a prompt appears to perform an attack.
Some players report that the prompt does not appear, causing a progression blocker. We have identified that this can occur in cases when the game is running at extremely low frame rates. This can occur on hardware that does not meet the minimum system requirements.
As a workaround, try lowering the resolution and graphics quality, and turn off additional options such as Frame Generation, to increase the frame rate.
You can find more information on system requirements and recommend settings in this article: What are the system requirements for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PC?
As possible workarounds, you can try to:
- Lower the the Graphics Preset setting.
- Use a different option for the Window Mode setting.
- Lower the Resolution setting.
- Close background applications, including overlay software.
- Disable optional features such as Frame Generation or Upscaling.
- Perform a clean installation of your graphics drivers.
