Alan Wake 2 was already a fantastic experience, so it’s good to see the team at Remedy addressing any remaining problems. Inmy review of Alan Wake 2, I noted that it was an awesome (if messy) time, and part of that was due to running into several technical issues, so newer players not having to deal with those problems is a good thing.
I have seen some Xbox players complaining about an audio drop issue, primarily in the earliest chapters of the game. If you’re one of the ones that has experienced this problem, please be sure to share if this patch fixed it for you or not.
