Now it can be confirmed that it is not a problem with the patch itself. It cannot be ruled out that there may be conflicts with your operating system, software, etc.
Did you try to run the executable with the launch command "-EpicPortal"? This disables the Epic integration, while you lose Gamepad support and can't skip Videosequences and other scripted scenes.
Might be some Epic related issue, because I had the same crash, when trying to launch the game with my Epic Account.
Ok, so my gamepad doesn't work, I'm ok with that, but ... NO DELUXE?!?! How come I can only see the standard game without deluxe expansions? I have it in my library (Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Upgrade). I wanna play expansions after the main story. Any way to fix that?
Here is what I've found on Reddit "It is the launcher (in this case the Epic Games Launcher) that checks whether the DLC has been acquired, so - unfortunately - if you play the game directly from the .exe without the launcher, it will not recognize that the DLC has been purchased."
Well, I don't wanna start the game without being able to play DLC, so I guess I need to wait for the PROPER FIX to play through EPIC launcher
Well, donno how, but after 10-15 times of reloading (renamed .exe and ran without "-EpicPortal" command) had couple of new errors and then finally managed to connect with EPIC overlay that appeared on my game screen (press to connect).
- Deluxe features are active - Achievements work - Gamepad work - Cutscene skip work - Epic game launcher online
- rename whatever file you downloaded into AlanWake2.exe, copy/paste it into directory with the game (original file must be deleted) - run AlanWake2.exe - you'll see intro R-->northlight-->Epic Games and then crash - run again AlanWake2.exe - and again you'll see intro R-->northlight-->Epic Games and then crash, BUT ... - right after the crash THE GAME WILL RESTART BY ITSELF (wait 5-7 sec) with EGS overlay on top of the game window with the prompt to connect or play (don't remember exactly), press whatever - as soon as you pass EGS overlay you are good to go, intro will play again and then the menu will appear
Each time whenever you want to play, you have to run the game twice in a row so that the third one is the restart after the second run. I hope that make sense. I've almost finished the main story and had no problems at all except for the crackling sound in a couple of places.
You can also use Vortex to install this mod, then rename the file to AlanWake2.exe in the mod staging folder and deploy mods so that it overwrites the default file (Vortex will keep a backup of the original file). Then launch the game from Vortex. Vortex will properly launch the game through the EGS, but it will run the patched executable (since it has overwritten the original one).

Базовая версия (без DLC) является DRM-free - запускается при использовании оригинального EOSSDK-Win64-Shipping.dll и отсутствии в системе Epic Games Launcher (перед удалением клиента скопируйте папку с игрой 1.2.7, если еще не обновилось, конечно), но геймпад (Xbox Series X) работать не будет в отличие от полной версии, доступной через неофициальный эмулятор EGS.
Игра 1.2.8 не запускается с AVX2-патчем 1.2.7 - черный экран на 10 секунд и вылет, но в сети еще есть Alan Wake 2 1.2.7 P2P.

Hiya sorry for commenting on here but not sure who/where else to ask haha! I was just wondering if it was possible to do what you did here remove AVX2 and F16C but for WWE 2k25 that just came out :) Let me know if I need to donate or pay anything upfront for this to be achieved! Thank you
No, please upgrade your own CPU. I have confirmed that crowdfunding for patch development is not realistic, so there will not be any patches in the future.
It's sad, thanks for the opportunity to play AW and GOW. Moreover, with a good frame rate and optimization for medium settings... maybe FF is not so popular, but it seems to me that there could be a chance to collect the necessary amount for SP2, especially since the game is now in a deplorable state and needs patches (people complain about frequent crashes)...Are they not considering the option of ORDERING? And how much will it cost?
I've been trying this for the entire day and I think it works fine to some point but it didn't fix my stuttering trouble with the game. I apreciate the improve that your work did. Do you know, by the way, some other way it could help me to make the game to work at all without some stutter? like, turning off some option that could lead to this problem?

Thanks to the author of the MOD.
Merry Christmas to all.
It's a pity not to donate from Russia, at least in the obvious way such as a bank card (МИР) or a payment gateway (ЮMoney).
It works fine on Core i5-3570K 4C/4T 3.6GHz (4.5 has no profit on High with RT) + 16GB + RTX4060 8GB + SSD 500R/500W + Win10.
