The official changelog hasn’t been shared yet, but Thomas Puha, Remedy’s Communication Director did mention how a new patch was being rolled out to fix the “A New Plan” and “Espresso Express” missions.
An update is coming for Alan Wake 2 that includes fixes for the “A New Plan” (Scratch mission) and the “Espresso Express” (Local Girl mission) issues amongst several other improvements. I’ll give an ETA on the update when I have it. It aint very far (fingers crossed). #alanwake
Alongside the mission fixes, Puha also confirmed that this patch will include Pat Maine show fixes as well.
Should be a fix for this in the same update.

For those on Xbox hoping to see this update include a fix for the audio sync issues on cutscenes, it’s not guaranteed that it’ll be fixed with this patch, but it is on Remedy’s “radar.”
Not 100% sure right now. It is on our radar for sure tho.
