Launcher FIX
First problem - can't launch the game (red bar in launcher that says "memory requirement"):

1 - go to your steam games library

2 - right click "The Amazing Spider-Man" in the games list

3 - click "Manage" -> "Browse Local Files"

4 - now you are seeing the folder where the files of this games are stored in your computer

5 - right click "VideoDetection.dll" cut it and paste it in your desktop

After doing all of this, the red bar will disappear and you can launch the game.
Resolution FIX
Second problem - can't change the resolution of the game with the launcher:

1 - open the launcher and set the settings the way you want

2 - do not start the game and close the launcher

3 - go to your steam games library

4 - right click "The Amazing Spider-Man" in the games list

5 - click "Manage" -> "Browse Local Files"

6 - now you are seeing the folder where the files of this games are stored in your computer

7 - right click "ASMLauncher" cut it and paste it in your desktop

8 - right click "Game" and rename it to "ASMLauncher"

9 - start the game and close it again, it should still have the wrong resolution

10 - do a windows search (in the task bar) and write "regedit", then click it

11 - you are now seeing the "registry", a set of usually unseen settings files

12 - navigate through the folders in this order:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Activision \ ASM \ Settings \ Display

13 - on the right side, you will see many files with a long set of numbers like this 0x00000003 (3)

14 - look for the file named "Width" and the file named "Height"

15 - right click "Width" and click "modify"

16 - on the right side of the window that appears, choose "decimal"

17 - in the text box on the left side, write "1920" and click the "OK" button

18 - right click "Height" and click "modify"

19 - on the right side of the window that appears, choose "decimal"

20 - in the text box on the left side, write "1080" and click the "OK" button

21 - close the "regedit" window and start the game

Now the game will start immediately without using the launcher first.

The instructions i gave in point "17" and point "20" were for 1920x1080 resolution (1080p).
Whatever resolution you want (1280x720 , 1366x768...) just change the "Width" decimal number to the first number of the resolution and change the "Height" decimal number to the second number of the resolution, in the "regedit".

Does anyone know how to fix the save data corruption? It's getting kinda frustrating.

Unfortunately, it turns off on a black screen when editing 1920x1080 resolution. The resolution that can be played is 800*600. :sadelf:
