Alternatively, there's also Flawlesswidescreen which has just added the AW2 Plugin with an FOV slider (as well as one for the LOD)

I'm still at the very beginning and basically only tested the performance for shits and giggles - as expected, the cutting-edge path-y rays are extremely taxing and maintaining >60fps with the i7-13700k/4070/32GB DDR5 is practically impossible. Standard raytracing is doable without murdering the framerate/frame pacing, though that sweet high framerate of the non-RT version is too enticing to pass up Razz


The forest area at the beginning is the worst for performance, at least so far 12 hours in, so you should be able to get constant 60+ with everything on later.

This Alan Wake 2 Cult Stash has a math puzzle (and we all know how everyone hates math). Here's the math problem: "There are three batteries (B1, B2, and B3) which have a combined charge of 1,600 amps. B2 has 128 amps more than B3. Meanwhile, B1 has two times as much charge as B3. How many amps does B2 have?"


Yeah screw that Laughing Ain't got time to sit there thinking about that for long


Indeed, x+x+128+2x=1600 is a hell of a math problem Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

Literally solved it in my head when I encountered it.

I thought Scandinavian education system was decent?


You think with the type of stuff he posts he went to school? Cool Face

Not really, no.

There's an area in Watery, more specifically a woodland space in the vicinity of Coffee World, where framerate drops significantly below 60 FPS.

Something's off there since GPU usage also drops in that area and performance hangs like there's a memory leak or something.

I think it got worse later due to events. Had to restart the game a couple of times due to degrading performance also.

Game definitely got it's rough edges. Ran across a few funny T posing bugs a few times, then memory leak would turn all textures into uber doober low res, like 1 color plane low res. Until I restart the game but nothing softlocking or game breaking so far.

Also, they are protecting themselves (blocking account and deleting tweets):

The game costs around 30€ in Epic Store if you happen to have Turkish account. To my understanding random ccs might work regardless of them being out side Türkiye.

Well shiiieeet... Didin't know, man. Not my intention to spam (same) shit, obviously.

It's just the limitation of the forum (the way it works as platform / in comparison to a 4chan or /r thread, for example), as I doubt anyone's gonna run through countless pages just to check certain stuff out.

In any case, the more people know about this one, the better. Cool

This game is not a deal. Epic paid it. Fully. And contracted Remedy to make it. There is no Alan Wake 2 existing if Epic didnt made it. It's fine to dislike Epic for their usual crap, but them producing an entire game from scratch is not one of those cases.

They give you a bunch of flare ammo for a reason, you're supposed to use them, it ain't abuse. The section is real easy if you're not trying to save up on them.

yeah given that it's survival horror I'm used to saving up the good shit for when it gets hairy but the pistol alone is useless in that section.

Finished the game (1.0.8, ElAmigos version)

THE GOOD:

-The mix of Live Action scenes with 3D, including MF'ing Sam Lake doing it's MAX PAYNE face. Sam Lake tooked the cake in this game most of the time grinhurt... Perhaps the only thing worth here...

-The jumpscares, while weak, they were nicely placed somehow

-Some details here and there along the atmosphere

-The echoes's actings

 Spoiler:
 


THE BAD:

-The story itself misses a shit ton of stuff. The ending itself is awful. (Yes, i've skipped the credits to see if more happened and it did, but not much of what ya thought it'd be..)

 Spoiler:
 


-Inventory space, even with the upgrades, still limited.

-Sometimes lack of guidance or hints to unlock locks etc to progress on the story or the cult stashes' locks, etc. You gotta also assign the map and the flashlight into the front and back thumb buttons of the mouse to keep going with the action instead of searching for the key in the keyboard)

-The use of the flashlight's focus most of the times fails to aim to the enemy automaticly, forcing you to use 2 slots of a battery and being in danger from other surrounding enemies. Same is applied with the flying white spots to continue through a path

-Some sections from the episodes are too long and repetitive

 Spoiler:
 


MINOR STUFF:

-Atleast for the Spain's Spanish dub and texts version, sometimes voices played were in english, unsync'd subs, text differs from the voices A TON

 Spoiler:
 


7/10. Would not touch again tho
