Hi there, I have a bug to report regarding QTEs in the PC port. The more difficult ones are effectively impossible to pass.

I noticed there are some other threads on this issue from a few years ago, that seem to indicate this is a known issue:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/460790/discussions/0/1291817208484006279/
https://steamcommunity.com/app/460790/discussions/0/135514507321816665/

I think I can give a good objective measurement of this, as I finished the game with half-decent scores on Non-Stop Climax difficulty on PS3, XBox 360 and Wii U with a lot of playtime on each. I'm now playing through the game on PC - I'm starting Non-Stop Climax difficulty there soon, but so far most of the more difficult QTEs have been impossible to achieve, even on normal difficulty.

On PS3, Wii U and XBox 360, I never had trouble succeeding in QTEs in late game fights with Jeanne (or for example, the final part of the fight against Temperantia). On PC - I fail every time, I usually get right up to about 1000-1100 or so vs Temperantia or 350-400 vs Jeanne and fail to reach max. In some cases this isn't a big issue, but in Jeanne fights it kills a lot of the fun, as you can't engage her in any of the cool counterattacks or you're guaranteed to get hit.

I'm using my XBox 360 controller on PC (the exact same one I used on my XBox 360) and have no lag or anything like that, so it seems implausible that it's just me messing up.

the game still has the stuttering issue, do they have any plans to fix that at all?

Apparently not. You have better chance of emulating it on PC with zero bugs and 100 speed + upscaled resolution than getting what you deserve from official release. I hate botched PC ports and will never stop being salty about how lazy and uninspired they turn out to be way too often.

How to fix White Screen I tried some ways from youtube, it didn't helped, still white screen sad( Then I will refund this game

I've had a reoccurring issue where assets simply don't load. Bayonetta will end up standing in a partially unloaded, non-functional map with no music, or falling and respawning repeatedly. I've even experienced partially unloaded cut scenes, where actors float or ride in vehicles that don't exist. Moving the game to a slow external HDD seems to reduce the frequency of this occurring, but it is no fix. Also, I'm really disappointed that this game doesn't play well at all with Freesync, ripping and tearing like mad unless V-sync is used instead. Thank you for your work if you are seeing this
