Alan Wake Remastered is a remastered version of Alan Wake, including the The Signal and The Writer DLC. Alan Wake's American Nightmare is not included and there are no plans for it.[2]
Enhancements include: improved textures, visual effects, foliage movement, re-done pre-rendered cutscenes (including all improvements from this remaster in addition to new motion capture, improved facial animations and lip sync), added a new volumetric lighting system, additional environmental geometry, enhanced character models (updated hair and skin shaders), proper scalable UI, 64-bit support, DirectX 12 support, DLSS support and engine optimizations (like multithreading to reduce CPU bottlenecks).[1][3][4]

Unofficial DLSS replacement with AMD's FSR 2.0
- Replaces in-game DLSS option with AMD's FSR 2.0, enabling upscaling on non-RTX graphics cards.
- This unofficial fan-made method can possibly contain severe bugs and has not been tested on all releases of the game (only Epic) and only tested on AMD-hardware.
- Requires the user to run a file that edits the Windows Registry, which if done incorrectly, can potentially harm your Windows installation.
- Download the latest release from Nexusmods.
- Extract the contents of the archive next to the nvngx_dlss.dll file in your Alan Wake Remastered installation folder.
- Run EnableSignatureOverride.reg and confirm merge.
- Enable DLSS through the in-game settings.
- Now instead of DLSS, FSR 2.0 should be used by the game for upscaling.
Frame rate (FPS)
- By default, as the frame rate increases, mouse sensitivity and acceleration is slightly reduced. Enable Direct Aiming (which disables mouse smoothing and acceleration) to circumvent this.[8]

- 2560x1440 was not available when the game was launched on a 1920x1080 desktop despite being the native resolution. This option only became selectable when desktop resolution was set to 1440p.

- Resolution-scaling became disabled when TAA was disabled. The engine uses MSAA for vegetation-rendering, which is forced on in all versions of the game (even on the original PC-release); disabling it leads to transparent and heavily aliased grass.

- At 144Hz, framerate-drops cause a consistent 144FPS to drop to a consistent 72FPS.

- Similar behavior to the original version. The official FAQ falsely claims both versions as uncapped. If direct aiming is disabled, mouse sensitivity and acceleration will still be reduced at very high frame rates; however, unlike the original, the difference is rather small and the game remains very playable at all times.

- Both methods have been tested. Although it is possible to completely remove the FPS cap, doing so may cause soft locks and missing checkpoints.
