Alan Wake Remastered
About Alan Wake Remastered
Alan Wake Remastered is Remedy Entertainment's visually updated version of the 2010 original psychological thriller. Alan Wake, a successful thriller novelist, takes a vacation with his wife to the small town of Bright Falls; after she mysteriously disappears, he finds himself trapped in the nightmarish world of a novel he wrote but doesn't remember. The game is known for its light/dark combat mechanic, where darkness protects and empowers enemies while light weakens them and makes them vulnerable — you must hold a flashlight on enemies to break their 'shield' before finishing them off with a weapon. Its episodic, TV-drama-style story structure and literary, atmospheric storytelling make it distinctive within its genre. The Remastered edition includes improved visuals and both DLC episodes (The Signal, The Writer).

How can I get more FPS in Alan Wake Remastered?
In large open-world and story-driven games, the biggest gains usually come from lowering draw distance, volumetric effects, shadows and ray tracing, while keeping texture quality as high as your VRAM allows. Alan Wake Remastered recommends 16 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
