Bayonetta 2 is an action-adventure hack and slash video game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Nintendo exclusively for the Wii U. It is the sequel to the 2009 game Bayonetta, and was directed by Yusuke Hashimoto and produced by Atsushi Inaba and Hitoshi Yamagami from Nintendo, under supervision by series creator Hideki Kamiya.

Known Issues

Unplayable as of version 1.11.4

Bayonetta 2 will crash shortly after loading in version 1.11.4 and beyond. The problem also appears to be linked to cemuhook, as it will crash when used with 1.11.3 and 0.5.6.3+. The latest means to play this is to use 1.11.3 with cemuhook 0.5.6.2 or lower.

A glitch makes sound crash in some areas

• Setting GPU buffer cache accuracy to High (slow) can help prevent this; otherwise restart Cemu if this happens.

Some textures/models noticeably or heavily flicker

• Enabling Full Sync at GX2DrawDone() under Options > Experimental will significantly reduce or eliminate flickering.

Rumble not working on compatible (Xinput) controllers

• Emulate a Wii U Pro Controller rather than the Gamepad to enable rumble.
• Leave a Gamepad as Controller 1 to keep mouse/touch control and the Pro Controller as Controller 2 with your actual button inputs. The game will automatically swap between the two.

Configuration

This game does not require non-default settings to run. See above if you experience flickering. A full list of config options is available in the Config template's documentation. There are also graphic packs available.

You can actually see the cutscenes, and the intro fight scene is also fully visible. Just some FPS dips every now and then. The fighting is actually remarkably smooth now. 1.6.0 Windows 10 USA Intel Core i7-4710HQ Nvidia Geforce GTX860M herohiralal 22 Playable Much better performance than 1.5.6. No slow-motion gameplay like first Bayonetta, just runs at ~22 FPS. No visual glitches.

Sometimes 3-5 seconds sound desync in cutscenes. 1.7.3d Windows 10 USA Intel i5 6500 @ 3.2GHz Nvidia GTX 980 Ti Soki 30-60 Runs Heavy flickering, flashing. 1.7.3d Windows 10 USA Intel i5 6600K @4.5GHz Nvidia GTX 970 Crowzer 50-60 Runs Speaking of my experience, I cannot clear the game due to high frequence of flickering. However, it seems some people don't those heavy issues. So it may depends of your computer specifications. 1.7.4d Windows 10 USA Intel i5 6600K @4.5GHz Nvidia GTX 970 Crowzer 50-60 Runs No changes compared to previous version 1.7.3d 1.7.4d Windows 10 USA Intel i7 4710HQ @2.5GHz Nvidia GTX 970M 相识何必曾相逢 15-50 Playable Voices are not in sync with the animation, constant lagging in both Cinematic and gameplay.But all in all, still playable.

Also there is a lots of audio bugs and glitches. 1.8.0b Windows 10 US Intel Pentium G4560 @3.5GHz AMD RX 470 BayoNX19 40-60 Playable Witch time sound issue appears to be fixed, some textures appear glitched and flash often (more than on previous versions; increased resolution results in increased texture issues), cutscene audio and video easily become out of sync.
1.9 Version OS Version Region CPU GPU Tester FPS Status Additional Notes 1.9.0b Windows 7 US Intel i5-2500k @4.8GHz Nvidia GTX 1070 JeanAbdelouche 40-60 Playable Witch time fixed. Cinematics freezes fixed at 90%. The game still flickers alot but using a shader cache can help to fix the flashing textures. Sometimes the sound may crash, if happens just restart cemu.

Playable 30-60fps. 1.11.1 Windows 10 US Intel Pentium G4560 @ 3.5GHz Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB BayoNX19 40-60 Playable Very minor flickering at 1440p. Game often crashes in battles due to "sound crash". FPS drops during battles, generally stays at 60 in most other areas. 1.11.2 Windows 10 US Intel Pentium G4560 @ 3.5GHz Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB BayoNX19 45-60 Runs Sound crash have become too common to consider this playable, excessive bloom in some areas. Desync between cutscene & audio still exists. New types of flickering issues have come up (see 1.11.2 video). 1.11.2 Windows 10 RU AMD Ryzen 7 1700x @3.9GHz AMD RX480 Psina64 25-60 Playable Audio works better, but sometimes still hanging. Textures still flickering sometimes. Summary it works better then last version i'll try (1.10.0c) 1.11.3 Windows 10 US Intel Pentium G4560 @ 3.5GHz Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB BayoNX19 50-60 Playable Using dual/triple core settings results in higher FPS during battle, same issues as 1.11.2 still exist (see 1.11.3 video description for detailed list of all noticeable issues.) 1.11.3 Windows 10 US AMD FX3820M @ 3.6GHz AMD R9 290 with custom 390X BIOS threethan 45-60 Playable No dynamic shadows, and some other effects may be missing. Some flickering in Noatun hub area even after the full sync fix. Triple core recompiler & low gpu cache accuracy both greatly improve framerate. With these settings performance is similar to wiiu, even while using the 1080p graphics pack. 1.11.4 Windows 10 US Intel Pentium G4560 @ 3.5GHz Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB BayoNX19 0, 60 Loads Cemu crashes within seconds to minutes of launching the game. Rarely can get past the file selection screen without the program freezing and Windows saying the program crashed. Sometimes Cemu just randomly closes, no error. Oddly enough the other games I've tested seem to work as well as they did in previous versions. (I would upload a gameplay video like usual, but it's not possible on this version) 1.11.5 Windows 10 EU AMD Ryzen 7 1700 @ 3.9GHz AMD RX Vega 64 8GB Apple020997 0, 35-60 Loads Same as BayoNX19, sometimes it crashes at the menu and (at least since v1.11.4) it ALWAYS crashes when I'm fighting the Golem in Chapter 9 Verse 7. 1.11.6b Windows 10 US Intel Pentium G4560 @ 3.5GHz Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB BayoNX19 0, 60 Loads Cemu crashes within seconds of launching the game. Rarely can get past the file selection screen without the program freezing and Windows saying the program crashed. Game is unplayable as of version 1.11.4. A "gameplay video" has been uploaded, however, it just shows the game crashing basically, because there is no gameplay to record.
