Alan Wake 2 Update 1.200.004

Remedy has issued a new patch for Alan Wake 2 and this one brings in a community-requested quality-of-life addition to the game alongside fixes to The Lake House DLC. Players can now boost the flashlight while reloading their weapon after applying Alan Wake 2 update 1.200.004 (XSX version 1.2.0.4/PC 1.2.4), which should make combat a bit more fluid.

Alongside that addition, there’s a host of improvements and bug fixes to The Lake House expansion touching no cinematics, adds in more resources before the final boss fight, and other technical touch ups.

Alan Wake 2 Update 1.200.004 Delivers Improvements to The Lake House DLC

General 

  • The Player can now boost the flashlight while reloading the weapon (canceling the reload in the process). YES! 

Fixes 

  • Fixed an issue where the player was not able to shoot after a partial weapon reload 
  • Fixed an issue where the DualSense adaptive triggers kept on rumbling and doing the wrong thing at the wrong time 

The Lake House Fixes and Improvements 

  • Sent in some additional resource boxes that appear right before the final boss fight, as they should in video games. Stock up! 
  • Fixed an issue where the opening cinematic of The Lake House was playing at the wrong time 
  • Fixed some shadow banding on the final The Lake House cinematic 
  • Fixed a rare case where the player would get stuck in the elevator when returning to Sublevel 1. While this is a realistic issue even for the FBC, this has now been deemed not a great idea for the game experience 
  • Added some “missing” paint onto the walls of Sublevel 4, so it no longer seems the Painted attack out of a regular grey wall. (also known as the “good thinking” fix) 
  • Fixed the Portuguese translation for the hint for the second computer puzzle, which gave the player the wrong information. 
  • Various localization fixes 
  • Minor fixes and stability improvements

In other Alan Wake 2 news, Remedy has announced earlier this month that the horror game has recouped most of its development and marketing budget, which is good news.
