The "Run graphics processor" option does not appear for me in the right-click context menu. I have a GTX 1060, and the only software compatible with it is the GeForce Experience, not NVIDIA Control Panel.
I have posted this to the game's Discussion Forum on Steam (I actually did it before...
Interesting! I just re-installed it and tried it on my old Windows 7 machine (that it used to work on) and got the same issue! It crashes after the logo, although on Windows 7 it gives an error message that "Alan Wake.exe has stopped working".
So I wonder if this issue is related to my Steam...
Yikes. So I've already re-installed DirectX multiple times, including using the installers found hidden in the game files. I've reinstalled my most recent GeForce drivers. What else should I try for making sure I'm getting a non-issue install of drivers?
P.S. I think I'm going to try installing...
Wow! So I completely wiped my laptop computer and installed only Steam and Alan Wake on it. The only other programs it has are the default Windows 10 apps. To my surprise, though, it is still is having the same issue of crashing itself after the logo! What could be causing this??
Someone suggested to me that it might be another program I have on my computers that isn't playing well with Alan Wake and is preventing it from starting up. So I've decided to see if I can narrow down which program it is that is causing this. I did a full image backup of my laptop (the computer...
I hit the checkmark labeled for "Clean Installation" when I re-installed the drivers using GeForce Experience. Anyway, doing both the driver re-installation and using sfc with /scannow and dism with /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth didn't seem to get any different results when trying to...
Where would I go to specifically download those from the time of its release? I couldn't find a VCredists installer in the game files stored on my computer.
Also, could this have to do with a Windows update? Since nothing has really changed about the computer that was running the game fine a...
Oh, sorry, that's what I meant when I said I installed DirectX again from their website. The web installer said I had an equivalent or newer version of DirectX already installed.
Do you know how to decode those .WER files or access the .dmp files?
Odd thing is happening. I built a new computer and installed Alan Wake but cannot get it to play off of Steam because it just shuts itself off after the Remedy logo clip plays (to see what the startup is supposed to look like, watch this). No message that says it stopped working, no freezing, it...
