The game has trouble detecting specific audio drivers properly. For example, using Bluetooth headphones causes the audio become heavily distorted. The audio will mute for certain music and sounds in-game, but will blare the music on the menu, and any dialogue from characters in-game to the point of distortion. The loud audio also gets louder overtime, despite being turned down to the lowest setting in the audio menu. | The game has trouble detecting specific audio drivers properly.

Issues unresolved
Bug with "Chase Venom"
_Chase_Venom_In-Game_Cutscene_Bug.jpg)
A demonstration of a bug that happens in a cut scene after Spider-Man chases Venom through a building. Spider-Man, after Venom leaps out of the building, follows a bugged path, causing him to turn right and jump into the wall he's facing to climb it for a few seconds.
During the level "Chase Venom", Spider-Man must chase venom to a skyscraper, where-in the game plays an in-game cut scene of the two chasing each other through the skyscraper. There is a bug that causes Spider-Man to follow an improper path while chasing venom out of the building near the end, causing Spider-Man to become to far apart from Venom, causing a game-over.
In order to avoid this bug, you must force FPS to max of 20. It can be reset once the Venom chase is completed.
Mysterio is Impossible to defeat
At 30fps and above, Mysterio's lasers in the 2nd phase of his boss fight spaz out all over and Stun-locks you.
Limit the FPS to 20 to be able to play the boss fight as intended. It can be reset once the boss fight is over.
Audio issues for specific instances
The game has trouble detecting specific audio drivers properly. For example, using Bluetooth headphones causes the audio become heavily distorted. The audio will mute for certain music and sounds in-game, but will blare the music on the menu, and any dialogue from characters in-game to the point of distortion. The loud audio also gets louder overtime, despite being turned down to the lowest setting in the audio menu.
Issues fixed
Game over screen loop
- Playing at over 30 FPS breaks several in-game cutscenes forcing the game into a game over screen loop, making the game incompletable.
| Set game to 30 FPS[citation needed] |

Audio Looping
- Sometimes sounds will loop on modern systems, best example is on the Race to the Bugle level where you can get looping enemy grunts pretty easily. Background ambiance sound looping is normal of this port, and happens even on systems of the time.
| Set game exe to "Windows XP" compatibility mode[citation needed] |
