This is the fifth test release of the native Linux version of B2recomp. It is a pre-release: the Windows version is v0.2.7. As always, this download contains no game files: the game is built on your PC from your own dump.

New since Linux Test 4

  • Tag Climax online no longer closes the game (the fix of Windows v0.2.7). Choosing Online and then Quick Match showed “Error Code: 2618-0006” and then the game closed. Online play cannot work in B2recomp (it cannot connect to Nintendo’s online services), but now the game says so properly: a short message explains that online play is not available, the game shows its own “Not connected to the Internet.” and you are back in the Online Menu.

(The display-scaling fix of Windows v0.2.7 is Windows-only.)

Updating from an earlier Linux test release

Unzip B2recomp-linux-builder-2c8652b.zip over your old B2recomp folder and start B2recomp. It says that B2recomp was updated; press Build (a short rebuild, about two minutes), then Play. Your settings and saves stay.

New Install

  1. Unzip B2recomp-linux-builder-2c8652b.zip where you want to keep the game, for example ~/Games.
  2. Open the folder and start B2recomp: double-click it, or in a terminal run sh ./B2recomp.
  3. Choose your dump folder (one folder that holds exefs/ and romfs/ of Bayonetta 2, version 1.2), press Build (5 to 20 minutes, depending on your CPU), then Play.

Known limits of this test release

  • The game times its frames with its own 60 Hz clock, not with your monitor’s refresh as the Windows version does. On a screen that is not exactly 60 Hz you may see a slight judder now and then.
  • The renderer finds out which textures the game changed by checksumming them (on Windows the system tracks this), which costs a little more CPU per frame.
  • The Tag Climax fix was tested on Windows; the Linux build compiles the same change, but it has not been tried on Linux yet.
  • Tested on Arch-based systems (CachyOS) with an NVIDIA RTX 4060 laptop and an AMD RX 560, on KDE and Hyprland (Wayland). Other distributions should work, but are untested.

Reporting Problems

Press Report... in the launcher, or run sh scripts/report.sh in the B2recomp folder. It makes b2recomp-report.tar.gz with the logs and your PC’s details, and nothing of the game. Attach it to an issue with a few words on what happened. Never attach game files.

SHA-256 of the zip: c23000c597b4f244c068d4dccbdf895e52b78fad177b64f7397ab02fd51a66a3
