Introduction
This guide is for those who can't change the game settings trough the ingame menu, have problems changing resolution, graphics, etc.
I've spent some time trying to figure out how the heck we can change these settings outside the game, and finally found how. I've decided to make this guide so that nobody has to suffer anymore to play this game.
How to Change the Settings
The game save all his settings on system Registry, so first we gonna need to open the Registry Editor by pressing WIN + R and typing regedit. Once on the editor we need to navigate to the game keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Activision\Spider-Man (TM) SD\Settings\Display

You gonna see something like this:



Each value refers to a game settings but we gonna go through these settings on their particular section, to change the value you just need to double click a value and BE SURE to set Base to Decimal.



And now we can start changing what we want.
Display Settings
Resolution
There are 2 keys for resolution: Width and Height, all you need to do is double click these values, change the base to Decimal and type your desired resolution.

Example, for 1440p you gonna use 2560 as Width and 1440 as Height.

Be aware that your monitor must support the resolution in order to work.

Full Screen
You can Turn OFF Fullscreen by changing Fullscreen to 0.
To turn it ON you just need to change Fullscreen to 1

V-Sync

You can Turn OFF Vertical Sync by changing VSync to 0.
To turn it ON you just need to change VSync to 1
Graphics Settings
Presets

If you are in a hurry or don't want to learn how any of these settings work, i got the game four presets here for quick changing the settings, you just need to change some DWORDs to the desired value:

DWORD
🔴 Low
🟡 Medium
🟢 High
🔵 Ultra
MaxAniso
2
4
8
16
RenderingFlags
5
0
0
0
QualitySettings
4688
4754
5284
5416

Texture Filter

Let's start with the easiest to change. To select your prefered Texture Filter, you need to change the value of MaxAniso with the desired value:

Filter
Value
None
0
Linear
1
Anisotropic
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16

Post Processing Effects

There are 3 post processing effects, they are: Bloom, Depth of Field, Heat Effect.
But there is only a single DWORD value that saves all theses 3 settings at once, so I made a few tests and elaborated a table to help you make this selection.

Bloom
Depth of Field
Heat Effect
Value
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

Now you just need to modify RenderingFlags to the desired value.

Quality Settings

And finally we arrived at the most complex settings of this guide. As Post Processing, there is only a single DWORD value that changes 5 settings dedicated to Quality, this one was hard to figure out but is quite simple.

❌ OFF
✅ ON
🔴 Low
🟡 Medium
🟢 High
🔵 Ultra
Shadows Quality
+0
+2
+4
+8
Soft Particles
+16
+32
Light Shaft Quality
+64
+128
+256
Border Detection
+512
+1024
Halo
+2048
+4096

Now... to get the value with the settings you want, you do a sum of every value you want.
Let's say i want Shadows on High (+4), Soft Particles ON(+32), Light Shaft on High(+256), Border Dectection on Normal(+512), and Halo on Normal(+4096), my final value would be:

4+32+256+512+4096 = 4900

Now we modify QualitySettings to our final value (in this case 4900)
Remeber to always select Base as Decimal!

Conclusion
And there you have it folks, this is my first steam guide ever, so please go easy on me.
I wish to realease a tool to make it easy to change these settings, but i'm kinda lazy so I made this guide for now.

Thanks and happy gaming!

@DarnellBoat as far as I know, this game is from a time it wasn't possible to use a PlayStation controller on PC, so they don't have PlayStation UI available.

Thanks. When I connect my PS5 controller in, it recognizes it as an xbox controller and displays the xbox button icons while playing. Is there a way to change it in the regedit so the icons become ps3/5 icons?

Just wanted to add here incase anyone finds this through searching that if you experience the game crashing it's due to your resolution. I have not had any luck with anything over 1920x1080 without it crashing after the cutscene. If you experience this issue try lowering your resolution and try again.

It's possible a wrapper you might be able to force higher resolution but from my small testing I've not had any luck using dgVoodoo.
