[November 14, 2023] Alan Wake 2 v1.0.11 Update Released Today!

Alan Wake 2 (v1.0.11) 16GB RAM Requirement Removed/Fixed! Works on both SteamOS and Windows 10/11!

I’ve modified the .exe file of the latest version (1.0.11) of Alan Wake 2 to remove the 16GB RAM requirements error when starting the game.

You can now start the game even with 4GB VRAM without the need to change it to 256MB VRAM.

NOTE: You must update the game first to the latest version (1.0.11) before applying the modified .exe!

Installation Instruction: Extract the archive and just copy the modified .exe and paste it in the game’s directory, replacing the original file.

    Thanks for editing and posting the new .exe after every update. Even though this sub only talks about how the steam deck run games like this suboptimally

    Ah, another modified .exe method from a complete stranger on the internet.

    What could go wrong!

    No thanks OP. I’m not playing a game on low settings and have it run at less than 30 FPS.

      Low settings in this game really look like Ultra in most others. Agreed on the sub 30 fps though, that’s just not enough. This is not a steam deck game.

      There are so many people here that will try and run some of these games come hell or high water and say a game works or “runs a locked 30 fps, but with some dips”. Sub-30 fps is not acceptable performance. If I have to run a game at 24 fps it’s not worth playing on the Deck.

    I just played Alan Wake 2 on the deck, start to finish after following a youtube tutorial a few days ago. And what made a big difference to me performance-wise was to update the os to 3.5.1 beta. The game flied from barely playable to 35-60fps. At least for me locking the fps made rotating the camera very bad, no such issue with unlocked fps.

    About the game, jesus f christ is one of the scariest game I ever played. It’s like playing your own horror story in a nightmare lol. That good.

    Wow, I haven’t played this on a handheld yet, just my OLED TV and OMG that looks comically bad on the Deck’s LCD screen, just horrible. Doesn’t even feel like the same environment.

      All the downvotes from people with terrible Deck screens is hilarious. On same games it doesn’t really matter. On this game, you want black to actually look black instead of gray. If it doesn’t you don’t get the same experience. Stop coping.
