Just a quick post to confirm that Alan Wake 2 can run on linux.
I had no luck on Steam after installing via Epic Games Store, and also on EGS no luck. I saw this post I saw on reddit you need to install d3dcompiler_43 and d3dcompiler_47 which is easy to do on lutris or similar via winetricks. you get an ssd warning but that's it, performance looks comparable to windows without too much trouble. High preset via 1440p native is most of the time under 60fps in all honesty but FSR2 does a good job in this title with a good fps boost with not too much degradation in graphics. Although I am thinking a medium setting with no FSR may be a better option for my setup not sure just yet (i'm a anti upscaling and prefer native res). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL5iuya3A4I&t=16s

With nvidia everything seems to work but frametimes in the town area are pretty bad with lots of stutters.

We can pretty much guarantee that it will never be on GoG, too.
Very well, Remedy added to my shitlist too. Nobody needs to buy games and these companies should remember that. I'll buy my games from stores that provide good services to users (my heart just pumps purple piss for those poor, hard done by publishers) and game companies that don't use problematic middleware or authoritarian anti-tampering.

sounds like some nvidia woes from what people are saying, although i just tested my ps5 controller wirelessly and it worked perfectly on linux so it is probably a setting somewhere that needs tweaking.

As for controller issues. I have zero idea what controllers work on linux and what doesn't. I don't use controllers to play games
edit: the frametime spikes aka stutter is known issue. It only seems to happen more heavily in the Diner area in Bright Falls. Not much anywhere else.

the game won't run. I am not able to install d3d_compiler_43 on Heroic.
Lutris is a pain in the neck with Epic, I will try it.
Which version of Wine did you use to install the game properly?

Sorry to hear about the problems with Heroic - I've never tried it. eventually I got used to lutris.
in lutris i used wine-ge-8-22. checking now it looks like its updated to wine-ge-8-25.
Only got around to finishing the game lastnight about 19hrs gametime - casual playstyle.
