Alan Wake 2 patch stops Alex Casey from “t-posing menacingly” Remedy's stunning horror title gets some unintended creepiness fixed as the latest Alan Wake 2 patch gets rid of creepy t-posing and progression-halting bugs.Ian Stokes Published 10 Nov 2023 FollowtopicsAlan Wake 2Alan WakeEpic GamesXbox Series X|SThird Person ShooterIan Stokes There’s a new Alan Wake 2 patch out that includes over 100 fixes, including several game-breaking progression bugs that were preventing some players from finishing the story. Remedy posted a pretty extensive list of fixes on the Alan Wake website and it’s mainly fixing bugs with certain missions not progressing as they should, but it looks like Remedy had some fun writing up the notes, with helpful updates like “made Coffee World more fun” and “fixed instances of Alex Casey t-posing menacingly”. Alongside these funny ones, there are some important fixes too though, including getting rid of progression bugs in the missions “Scratch” and “Local Girl”.There are still a couple of missable collectibles that will lock you out of getting all the Alan Wake 2 achievements — these aren’t technically bugs, but it’s annoying to see and hopefully gets patched at a later time. For now, I’ll just need to do another playthrough to get them, which is fine by me, given that Alan Wake 2 is so damn good.Our review code came in just before release, but you’ll be hearing our full thoughts on Alan Wake 2 soon. Spoiler alert: it absolutely rules and should be a strong contender for game of the year. I didn’t run into any of these progression bugs during my playthrough of the game, but it’s great to see them getting fixed. This is on top of last week's patch which already made over 200 fixes.
