Now that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is lastly out within the wild, gamers are discovering all of its cool moments and comedian e book Easter eggs. However a bunch have encountered one thing far more sudden: a glitch that turns Spider-Man into a bit of white lump of tofu.
It’s not technically tofu per se, however that’s definitely what some gamers suppose it appears like. The unusual bug sees a small dice you would possibly affiliate with early growth prototyping utterly change the titular superhero’s physique. Spider-Block as some are calling it (me, I’m calling him that) can nonetheless do all of the wonderful issues the neighborhood web-crawler usually does, like web-slinging by New York and comboing dangerous guys skyward. The bizarre glitch transforms the expertise from cool comedian e book stuff to extra-surreal fever dream.
Social media is already filled with gamers encountering the dice glitch:
Regardless of the bug’s prevalence, nobody actually appears to be certain precisely what causes it. The tofu slabs simply seem any time both Peter Parker or Miles Morales’ go well with mannequin fails to load. Then it’s dice time. You possibly can repair it by going again to the go well with menu and swapping to a unique costume. It’s good to try this shortly, too, since there are studies of some cubed gamers falling by the map after their sudden transfigurations. Maybe therein lies a portal to the blockverse, however your greatest wager is simply to reload from the final checkpoint if that occurs.
Luckily, my 40-hour expertise with Spider-Man 2 was principally bug free, although some gamers have reported sport crashes or often getting caught on components of the setting. A number of gamers have even reported being unable to play the disc version of the game at all, with installations getting caught at 36 p.c. Insomniac Video games hasn’t but supplied an official workaround, although the problem doesn’t appear to be too widespread. Hopefully it will get solved quickly so these gamers may also expertise the glory of Spider-Block.
