Weird problem - cant play the game
So Bayonetta starts and changes my pc resolution into 1080x920 but it's not really working on my so game crashes.Resolution is changed I boot up the game again intros act like a slideshow but they work and then screen gets white but I can hear sounds of the game menu. I tried changing the resolution by navigating menu with sound but it didnt really worked xD alt + tab doesnt put it in windowed state and there is no config file as far as I know + didnt found any fix on the internet that would work (compalibity stuff) Any suggestions or is it a refund? :/

Windowed mode can be triggered by alt + enter in this game which hopefully is enough to get to the main menu to change to a resolution you can run the game at.

also try the below as well if that doesn't work.

- Navigate to the game exe file, right click, select properties, compatibility, tick run in 640 x 480 screen resolution and try the game again.

edit:
the below sometimes works for some people
in the game folder, there is a folder called "aspect unlock", try apply each of the .reg files in turn (run the game after each one)



out of curiosity, what is your native resolution?

Oh and now It acctualy worked with the compatibility stuff - It didnt when my monitor resolution was set to 1080x920 and now when I rebooted to get back to native It opend in full HD and works...
As a last resort I can upload a config file you could try.

I tried all of you said. It still doesn't work.

When you say it doesn't work, what exactly is happening? There are a couple of distinct problems that people seem to have.

To start with though,
Ensure that all dependencies in the _commonredist folder have been run:
right click the game in your library, select properties, local files, browse local files to get to the game folder

1) The game starts with a white screen/blank screen while sound happens in the background (some monitors can display an "out of range" error). Usually this is due to the game defaulting to full screen mode with resolution that the display device is unable to support. This also occurs if a different monitor or tv is used once the configuration has been set. Usually forcing the game into windowed mode is enough to be able to get to the main menu to change the configuration.

- Try alt + enter to force the game into windowed mode
- Set the game to run at 640x480 resolution. Navigate to the game exe.
right click the game in your library, select properties, local files, browse local files.
Right click bayonetta.exe, select properties, select the compatibility tab, tick run in 640x480 screen resolution.
- Within the game folder, there is a folder called aspect unlock, try clicking each of the .reg files in turn (try the game after each one), some people have reported that fixes their problem
- if you are using wnidows 10, try disabling full screen optimisations. (Right click bayonetta.exe, select properties, select the compatibility tab, tick disable full screen optimisations)


2) The game crashes at start up without a window being drawn, or one appears for a split second before disappearing.
This seems to be some sort of permissions issue where the game can't seem to correctly access the My Documents folder to generate the config file. This can be fixed by either of the following:

- If you have multiple hard drives, ensure that the game is installed on the same one that Steam is installed on (right click the game in your library, select properties, local files, move install folder)
- ensure that anything like one drive/gdrive or any backup software like that is disabled.
- Some antivirus software a setting called controlled folder access/protected folder access (eg windows defender has controlled folder access), does temporarily disabling it allow the game to create the required config files?
- Try running steam and the game as admin. (I personally advise against it, as you will usually need to continue this in the future)
