Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Version 1.001.003 patch notes: Puerto Rican flag fix, bug fixes & more

The first post-launch patch for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is here, and it addresses the game’s flag mix-up and other issues.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launched last week to critical and fan acclaim. However, in that time, players have noticed some issues – including one pretty glaring mistake.

The game’s latest patch – Version 1.001.003 – addresses that mix-up while also making some smaller changes to improve the overall gameplay experience.

Here’s everything Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Version 1.001.003 changes.

What’s changed in the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Version 1.001.003 patch notes

The most important change in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Version 1.001.003 is fixing the incorrect flag players spotted in the Morales’ home. Miles and his mother are Puerto Rican, but the game mistakenly featured a Cuban flag on their wall.

For context, the two flags feature a similar design with reversed colors. The Cuban flag has a red triangle with blue stripes, while the Puerto Rican flag has a blue triangle and red stripes.

A suit Miles can unlock through a side-quest features the correct Puerto Rican flag.

Insomniac previously promised to fix the mix-up when it was initially pointed out. Additionally, the developer apologized for the error on Twitter and in the patch notes, reiterating that “accurate representation matters” and promising to “do better in the future.”

Today's patch corrects an error where the Cuban flag was incorrectly displayed instead of the Puerto Rican flag. We understand that accurate representation matters, and greatly regret this error. We sincerely apologize and will do better in the future.

Outside of that, Version 1.001.003 addresses an issue with models not loading properly, which may fix that glitch where players were turning into white cubes.
