The AVX2 patch for alan wake 2 is very difficult to fix, because it involves not only AVX2, but also FMA, BMI1, BMI2, LZCNT and F16C instruction sets. That's why it's so difficult!
In addition, because the computer I use does not support the AVX2 instruction set and my SSD is not large enough, I cannot analyze the performance issues of this patch. I can only ensure that the program can run.
Extract the patch, place AlanWake2_no_avx2.exe/AlanWake2_no_avx2_f16c.exe in the root directory of the game, and then run AlanWake2_no_avx2.exe/AlanWake2_no_avx2_f16c.exe.

Special note:
1. This game has high requirements for hard disk. If you use a HDD, there will be problems such as lagging and sudden loss of sound.
2. If there are issues such as crashes or freezes, please find the event with event ID 1000 in the "Event Viewer" and send me a screenshot for analysis. If the exception code displayed in event 1000 is 0xc000001d, it means that there are still some instructions that have not been fully patched and need further repair.
