YW4 Recomp is finally launching!

After a long time in development, YW4 Recomp is at a stage I'm happy to share with the community. It took a lot to get here: lots of bugs squashed and a lot of things optimized. I hope everyone enjoys it, both returning players from the Switch and PS4 and new players starting their Yo-kai Watch 4 adventure.

Warning

This is a beta release. The game hasn't been played from start to finish yet. If you encounter a bug or a crash please send in bug reports. The more reports we get the faster YW4 Recomp can be updated to fix all the issues.

How to begin

  1. Download YW4-Recomp-Launcher-1.0.0-setup.exe below and install it. (The portable zip is the same just with no installer.)
  2. Give the launcher your own copy of Yo-kai Watch 4++, version 2.2.0: NSP or XCI files, or extracted folders. (No game files are included with YW4 Recomp)
  3. The launcher checks your files and builds the game on your PC. This happens once and takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Sit back and start playing!

Features

  • Lighter than an emulator
  • Higher frame rate caps
  • Higher Resolutions
  • Ultrawide and other aspect ratios
  • Improved shadow maps and rendering
  • Contact Shadows for objects
  • DLSS and FSR upscaling and frame generation
  • Full Mouse, Keyboard and controller support
  • Custom keybinds and on screen hints
  • Custom Launcher and New in game overlay
  • Mods support such as the English patch by Light8227

What you need

  • Windows, 64-bit.
  • A graphics card with Vulkan support.
  • Your own legally dumped copy of Yo-kai Watch 4++ 2.2.0.
  • An internet connection for the first build to allow the launcher to download build tools.

Good to know

  • What is known to be missing or wrong: known issues.
  • Found a bug? Use Report a bug in the launcher or in the game's overlay.
  • Linux: the game builds from source. The launcher is Windows only for now.
  • Game updates will come through the launcher.

Now go say hi to Jibanyan!!! 🔥⌚

Copies of the build's open-licence downloads, unchanged from their official releases. The launcher downloads
them from here first: they are the exact files the game was built and tested with. If one fails, it uses the
official address instead. Either way the file must match the SHA-256 pinned in tools/yw4/deps.py. Not a release
of YW4 Recomp. Each file's licence is attached next to it.
