I have been having a blast playing Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered. I have put around 10 hours in and have had a good time. I ran SFC in CMD just because I had not run it in quite some time. SFC found and repaired corrupt files and just for good measure I ran it again. I ran DISM in POWERSHELL too just to be sure everything was on the up and up. Everything came up clean with no corruption.
Today there was an update pushed out around 7 AM CDT for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered. I also noticed a Windows update needed to be done so I downloaded and installed the update. I restarted, and let the updater run it's course. My desktop loaded and all of my startup items loaded in like they normally do. This is Discord, Steam, HWinfo64, iCue, Logitech G Hub, and Razer's software.
I launched the game and had an issue I had previously run into and worked around by alt tabbing and then clicking on the game. This time it didn't work. The problem is low FPS where it should be pumping out triple the frames I was getting. I fixed it by switching to "Exclusive Fullscreen" then back to "Fullscreen". I thought to myself "issue resolved". As I played it seemed normal.
I finished the mission with the costume party. I started the call with MJ. I was swinging to the next mission and the screen froze. My RGB in my rig froze. I thought "Okay just a hiccup, it will skip forward and fix itself". I waited and my screen went black, then to desktop with a window telling me there was a crash and an error DXGI_DEVICE_HUNG. I tried to click okay but my mouse would not move. My system was frozen again. I tried hitting alt tab to see if I could switch applications. This didn't work.
I then hit CTRL+ALT+DEL. Still my system was freezing then unfreezing. After about 60 seconds I was finally given the options given when you press that key combination. I click open task manager. The mouse runs fine in task manager. I was able to click okay on the Sony crash window and the Sony report window, and then my screen started to artifact. It quickly fixed itself like the drivers restarted.
This is odd because I have made it 50% through the game with little to no issues before, and I have never experienced artifacting with this setup. I used the bug report tool provided by AMD and I hope verifying the game files fixed my issue as I can't think of anything else that may have caused it.
