When i start the new version, a tab appears in the task-bar for a few seconds and then vanishes again. Same in Steam->library: I click on the green "Play" button, choose "Play Mecha Ritz: Steel Rondo" and the button changes to "Stop" as if the game was running. But after a few seconds it changes back to the green "Play" The old version and its key config tool still work. There is a (null)game.log in the game files.

There is one part of the all clear bonus that I don't understand. This is the formula given upon beating the game: [LEFT^2 * TOTAL RANK / {TIME - EX STAGE}^2] * 50000 I can see that you want your total time to be as low as possible since it is used to divide, and you want the "EX STAGE" to be as high as possible since it takes away from time. The problem is, I don't know what "EX STAGE" is. Whatever it is it would have to be a fairly large number to make a dent in the time value. My only guess is that it...

Noticed that sometime, the phase 2 of a boss get skipped, so you end up doing only 2 phases of the boss instead of the usual 3. Assuming this is part of 2.0 and not a bug, does anyone know the condition for this to happen?
