First test release of B3-Express: Bayonetta 3 v1.2.0 running natively on Windows.

No game files are included. You need your own extracted dump, updated to v1.2.0. See INSTALL.txt in the zip, or the install guide.

What's in it

  • A launcher that checks your dump's version, copies it and compiles the game code on your PC, about 3-5 minutes
  • An NVN renderer on Vulkan, with FSR 1 and shader preparation
  • Cutscenes at 60 FPS, experimental and off by default: set cutscene_fps=60

Results on the test PC (Ryzen 7 5700X3D, RTX 3080, 2560x1440)

  • Chapter 12 played through with no crash
  • Gameplay 54-56 FPS, heavy combat about 49 FPS
  • In-engine cutscenes about 55 FPS with cutscene_fps=60
  • About 2.9 GB of video memory for the game

Known limits

  • FPS drops after loading into or out of a verse map, about 17 FPS at worst for 8-12 s
  • First visits to an area can freeze briefly while shaders build
  • Tested on one PC. AMD GPUs, other PCs and most chapters are untested
  • Ride sequences are untested with cutscenes at 60

Built on ScarletNX, GPL-3.0-or-later. Not affiliated with Nintendo, SEGA or PlatinumGames.
