Remedy has shined its flashlight on a new update for Alan Wake 2, which comes with a number of fixes for The Lake House DLC. This includes adding a bunch of resources ahead of the final boss and fixing an issue where players would get stuck in an elevator among other improvements. You can read the full details in the Alan Wake 2 update 1.200.004 patch notes below.
Alan Wake 2 was released for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S in October 2023, and Remedy revealed a few weeks back that the game has recouped ‘most’ of its development and marketing costs. You can read our full review of Alan Wake 2 here.

General
- The Player can now boost the flashlight while reloading the weapon (canceling the reload in the process). YES!
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the player was not able to shoot after a partial weapon reload
- Fixed an issue where the DualSense adaptive triggers kept on rumbling and doing the wrong thing at the wrong time
The Lake House Fixes and Improvements
- Sent in some additional resource boxes that appear right before the final boss fight, as they should in video games. Stock up!
- Fixed an issue where the opening cinematic of The Lake House was playing at the wrong time
- Fixed some shadow banding on the final The Lake House cinematic
- Fixed a rare case where the player would get stuck in the elevator when returning to Sublevel 1. While this is a realistic issue even for the FBC, this has now been deemed not a great idea for the game experience
- Added some “missing” paint onto the walls of Sublevel 4, so it no longer seems the Painted attack out of a regular grey wall. (also known as the “good thinking” fix)
- Fixed the Portuguese translation for the hint for the second computer puzzle, which gave the player the wrong information.
- Various localization fixes
- Minor fixes and stability improvements
