News - Alan Wake 2 : Umfangreicher Patch zum Horrorabenteuer verfügbar

Hui, das ging fix. Nach einem ersten Patch in der vergangenen Woche folgte nun recht schnell danach ein weiteres Update und das ist deutlich umfangreicher.

Das kam etwas überraschend. Nach einem kleineren Patch zu Alan Wake 2 vor einigen Tagen wurde gestern ein weiteres, weitaus umfangreicheres Update für alle Plattformen rausgeboxt, dieses Mal auch mit weitaus konkreteren Angaben in den Patchnotes. Die neue Version 08 beinhaltet über 200 Problembehebungen und Optimierungen.

Mit dabei sind unter anderem Verbesserungen der Lokalisierung, eine Reihe von Bugfixes in verschiedenen Bereichen, Gameplay-Optimierungen und auch eine Reihe von Korrekturen hinsichtlich der Missionen. Hier die Patchnotes im Detail:
