A newAlan Wake 2patch comes with more than 100 fixes, some of which address serious progress-blocking bugs. In one case, Remedy says the Coffee World area from an early chapter of the game is simply “more fun” now.
The latest Alan Wake 2 patch, released Thursday, introduces another laundry list of fixes, and while a lot of them are for silly stuff like “Alex Casey t-posing menacingly”, a bunch of them are designed to address some of those aforementioned serious bugs.
In the fullpatch notes, Remedy says “the critical issues blocking progress in the Scratch (A New Plan) mission and misbehaving in the Espresso Express in Local Girl (Coffee World) have been resolved.”
As well as global fixes promising “general bugfixes and additional polish,” along with fixes for “multiple localization issues,” the new patch has some platform-specific fixes as well. On Xbox, players can expect less of an issue with audio cutting out or missing entirely. PS5 players should also have fewer audio issues and crashes related to the Share Play feature.
Some highlights from the mission-specific list of fixes include:
