Remedy has just launched Update 10 for its horror game, Alan Wake 2, which brings over 100 fixes, tweaks and improvements. This patch fixes game-breaking critical issues blocking progress in the Scratch. So, that’s good news for those who have encountered them.

In the latest update, Patch 10, Remedy has fixed some problems in the game. The developers made sure to fix the banding issues in some cut-scenes. Also, they sorted out a bizarre issue with the weather. So, you won’t see raining inside buildings anymore. And they’ve even taken care of a funny glitch where Alex Casey used to stand in a weird T-pose.

In Patch 10, the game now doesn’t have problems where furniture and things were in the way and stopped your progress. Remedy also made changes to the fight with the Nightingale boss, making your weapons stronger in Normal Mode. Plus, they made the Cynthia boss fight easier by giving you more ammo and health items.

As always, Epic Games Store will download this latest update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.

Remedy has so far released three major patches for Alan Wake 2. That’s three updates in less than a month. In total, these updates have brought over 300 fixes, tweaks and changes.
