The popping is eliminated entirely. Furthermore, the patch reduces input latency for wired DualSense controllers by 4ms, making dodge timing during the "Hammerhead" boss fight feel noticeably snappier. 4. Intel Arc A-Series Specific Tuning Nixxes has a reputation for supporting underdog hardware, and v3618 proves it. For users on Intel Arc A770 and A750 GPUs, the game previously suffered from texture flickering on water surfaces (especially the East River).
While not a flashy, content-heavy "Title Update" (like the one that added New Game+ or the Raimi Suit), represents a crucial behind-the-scenes shift for stability and next-gen hardware compatibility.

| Metric | Pre-v3618 (v1.1122) | Post-v3618 (v3618) | Improvement | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 72 fps | 74 fps | +2.7% | | 1% Low FPS (Stutter) | 48 fps | 57 fps | +18.7% | | VRAM Usage (Financial Dist.) | 7.6 GB | 7.1 GB | -500 MB | | Shader Compile Time (First Boot) | 4 min 20 sec | 3 min 50 sec | -12% |

PC players using the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller via USB (to utilize the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback) experienced a distinct audio "pop" or "click" every 30 seconds when the controller’s built-in speaker was emulating the beep of the suit’s interface or the radio chatter of Yuri Watanabe.
For new players buying the game during the latest Steam Sale, v3618 ensures that the first time you witness the "Entering Pete’s Apartment" transition or the "Oscorp explosion," you will experience zero hitches.
