Remedy has released Title Update 1.2.5 for Alan Wake 2, and shared its full patch notes. So, it’s time to see what this new patch brings to the table.

Patch 1.2.5 improves the Gyro controls and interaction with stick input. The update increases the maximum available sensitivity in the options menu from 4X to 20X. Moreover, it makes it less frustrating to deal with the “Thrower” enemies. These enemies move around a bit less frequently, and they take longer to teleport after receiving damage.

Update 1.2.5 also brings a number of fixes. For instance, it fixes some Alice photos that were sometimes not available. It also fixes some map markers persisting after interaction, as well as Sheriff Stash which could not be opened in Initiation 5.

And that’s not all. This patch fixes a Return 1 manuscript page that was unavailable in the Mind Place. Plus, it fixes a key item in Return 3 that could be picked up too early and could lead into a soft lock. Also, it fixes some objectives that were not clearing up properly.

Like always, Epic Games Store will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog. So, go ahead and take a look at it.
