Key points

Offers some improvements over Re;Birth 1, including native borderless windowed mode, fix for analog sticks axial direction lock and fixed issues with cutscenes.
Many fixes available for the Re;Birth 1 should work with Re;Birth 2, including Hyperresolution Neptunia mod.
Games resolution option is for windowed mode only and game doesn't feature any other graphical settings. Use Hyperresolution Neptunia to increase either performance or visuals.
Has pretty widespread issue, where FPS drops when Guard break is performed in combat.[1]

DLC and expansion packs

Free DLC is already included with base installation[2] and can be toggled from main menu before starting the game.
Some DLC (Anime Collaboration Set, Histy's Rescue Plans and Nepgear's Beam Zapper ZERO) are known to break games leveling curve, by giving items that far surpass stats of the normal game items from the very start.

Essential improvements

Hyperresolution Neptunia

PCGamingWiki mirror of newest version
Important notice! At Re;Birth 2 launch, installation directory contained ; in the name, making mod only work if user created folder <path-to-game>\Birth2\ and put files in to it.[3] This was fixed by the developer at June 2015, removing character from game path.[4] It's adviced to completely reinstall the game, which should fix path correctly.[5]
Games resolution options only go up to 1920x1080. With fullscreen game always uses desktop's resolution despite selected resolution option and resolution overall does not go above roughly 1080p.[6][7] This may become problematic for low end machines as resolution is only graphical option to get more performance and high end will get blurry visuals.
With this mod it's possible to force games renderer to use specific resolution. This means it's possible to improve performance with lower values, get better visuals when using desktop's native resolution and use it for downsampling as when using higher resolutions.

Issues unresolved

Severe FPS drop with Guard Break

This seems to have been the problem since closed beta state and is occurring even on higher end machines. Using Hyperresolution to lower rendering resolution and playing from SSD doesn't fix the issue,[1] but will make the drop last much less.[5]

Game crashing in certain parts

In game parts include entering the "LAN castle" for the first time.
Codecs and codec packs (CCCP, KCP, K-Lite) may be causing issues with the game.[citation needed]
Instructions
For some users, this issue seems to be related to some DLC. Playing without DLC solves the issue.[citation needed]

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/351710/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (351710) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
