Some selected tweaks and optimizations for path tracing and rendering.
Improved streaming by eliminating occasional 10 – 100 millisecond pauses that primarily affect Xbox Series platforms.
Memory usage reduced by 16 MB across all platforms.

Players can now slow down their walking speed when the tutorial is open.

Global

It should now be easier to find the Father Doll on the map so players can complete the final nursery rhyme.

Fixed an issue where Saga could reload invisible weapons despite her social obligation not to use them in certain areas (kertaus on opintojen äiti).

Alan Wake 2 gameplay

In Alan Wake II, the gameplay is different from the first game. This is a survival horror game where you see the characters from the outside rather than from their perspective. You can play as Alan Wake or Saga Anderson in two separate stories. You can choose which story to play first, but some parts can only be played as Saga or Eren.

Both characters travel through different locations and fight enemies using guns and flashlights. Shining a flashlight on an enemy weakens them but drains their battery. You have to be careful how you use batteries and bullets to survive. When an enemy approaches, Allen or Saga can quickly dodge.

There is also a detective part in the game. When you play as Saga, you can pause the game and travel to a special place in her mind called the “Heartland.” It’s like a 3D menu where you can see Saga’s ideas. Here you connect clues on a pin board to solve the main mystery and get to know the characters.

Just like in the first game, you’ll find several pages of manuscripts that hint at what’s going to happen next. But in Alan Wake II, there is also a system where you can choose what to say in dialogue, which will affect the development of the story.
