Remedy has updated its acclaimed horror game Alan Wake 2 to version 1.15. The update adds a new Chapter Select feature along with an option to cut down on its horror flash effects.
Remedy’s acclaimed horror game Alan Wake 2 has received a new update, bringing its version number to 1.15. It adds two small but important features to the game.
One is a the Chapter Select feature, which lets gamers pick which chapters in the game they want to play again if they have been previously unlocked. Remedy says:
Using this feature loads a pre-made save game regardless of your own progression.
This means that item progression and inventory will be pre-determined depending on the mission.
You will keep your previous manual saves.
The other new feature offers gamers who want a less intense experience by adding a way «to choose between Low and Normal horror flash visual and audio intensity.»
Here’s the rest of the change log for Alan Wake 2 version 1.15:
Gameplay and missions
Fixed an issue in The Final Chapter (New Game Plus) where if the player already had Saga’s crossbow in their inventory, they could not complete/open all required Cult Stashes and thus couldn’t get the Lighthouse Key from the final Cult Stash.
Fixed an issue where the player could get stuck if they opened the notification about having finished watching the final Koskela brothers’ advert:
During RE09 Deerfest when you go to the Oh Deer Diner, the last Koskela commercial is shown and you are given a prompt that you can see it in the Mind Place, but if you press the touchpad as instructed to view it in the Mind Place, nothing happens, and your controls are frozen. The issue remains until you reload the last save.
Fixed an issue where the player was not able to collect all the clues around Nightingale’s body.
The objects required for the Overlap ritual in RE03 Local Girl can now only be picked up after the player finds their respective clues.
The 10th Echo Scene after meeting Casey in the alley now unlocks properly.
Players now receive the Coffee World Mug Charm in the The Final Chapter (New Game+) instead of a duplicate Hammer Charm.
Fixed the camera perspective on opened Cult stashes, so the note on the lid is now legible.
Additional fix for the Cynthia profiling not being available if the player exits the diorama too quickly in the Nursing Home.
Resolved an issue in RE05 Old Gods where players could pick up the fuse in the basement from a locked container without solving the attached combination lock puzzle.
Propane tanks will no longer reappear after reloading the game in Watery. Less explosions, less fun, but a smoother game.
Gave Saga a chance to gain more resources in the RE10 Come Home mission in the subway station.
Added missing descriptions for some case files in the Case Cabinet in Saga’s Mind Place.
Fixed a multitude of issues with Meta Case clues.
Added descriptions for cases that are in progress to the Case Cabinet files.
Igniting a flare while hiding in Safe Haven will now be seen as a hostile player action and collapse the Safe Haven if enemies are nearby.
