Command Line Options

The game supports a few command line options meant mainly for troubleshooting. Many of these options can be selected from in-game menus.

You can enter them by right clicking on Alan Wake's American Nightmare in the Steam Library and choosing Properties. From there go to "Set launch options".

-w screen width (e.g. -w1280)

-h screen height (e.g. -h720)

-window force windowed

-novsync disables v-sync

-showfps shows a frame rate counter on screen

-forcesurround forces 5.1 speaker mode

-forcestereo forces stereo (2 channel) speaker mode

-nosound disables sound

-cleancloud deletes your save games and settings from Steam Cloud

-sensscale (e.g. -sensscale=0.2) changes the mouse sensitivity scale slider in-game. Useful for some high DPI mice that feel way too

sensitive even with the in-game menu set to low.

-locale=xx forces a selected locale. This should not be needed as you can change it from the Game Properties in Steam. Note that you have to have the locale files downloaded from Steam and that happens only when you choose the language you want to play in from Steam.
