A List of GUNHOUND EX PC ver. Issues

[AmethystViper]

Now don't get me wrong with the topic title, I'm really enjoying this game, it's a fun run-and-gun game, but there are some problems that I and probably some others are experiencing with this port. I wanted to make this list in hope that they'll be looked into and possibly be fixed in a patch.

No Rebindable Keys for Keyboard

This is a big problem for those of us who want to play this with a keyboard and may not have a controller to plug into the PC to play. The control scheme on keyboard makes it difficult to play the game, and this could have been alleviated if we could reconfigure the keys however we wanted or if the game came with one that feels more natural, but being able to rebind the keys would be a HUGE help for keyboard players.

Poor Menu Descriptors / Translation Errors and Typos

I'm going to take a guess that this was an in-house translation, however some of these menu explanations are not exactly clear on what they do (at least not in English), such as "Heads-Up Display Settings" under "User Interface" in Environment, and "Jettison Armor" under the "Purge Command" setting in Game Options which does not tell players anything specific. I'm not an expert in translating Japanese, but I was thinking perhaps the examples I can provide below may help give better descriptions for each menu item. The examples I've made can be found at this Pastebin. Of course my suggestions doesn't have to be used, I'm just trying to provide some better, more concise menu descriptions.

I also noticed there was a typo in the beginning of Mission 3's dialogue "Just like [we] planned!" (link)[i.imgur.com] and there was a piece of untranslated text in the sixth training course (link)[i.imgur.com]. There is also misspelling(?) of Sophia's name in the briefing of Mission 1 where she was referred as "Sofia".

Visual and Audio Problems

This may vary from one person to another, but here's what I've found a few audio and visual problems. As I mentioned in ActualDazChief's topic who also brought up an audio issue, there was an odd static and crackling sound going on after I destroyed the landship in Mission 4, and I also noticed there was something wrong with how the fire was being rendered (link)[i.imgur.com], most notably when the boss attacked (it created a black line along the trail of fire). I also found in Mission 2, at the end of the level, there was some kind of tear in the background causing a white line to appear. (link)[i.imgur.com] A few of the weapons also don't have sound effects as far as I'm aware; so far the Shotgun and the Anti-Ship Energy Cannon make no sound when they're fired.

-EDIT 2 Update 6/10/15-
I also noticed in Mission 5, after the high-speed section, the background is missing the section that follows it and it shows up after a Game Over. Here are the screenshots:

-EDIT 3 6/12/15-
Here are some other oddities I'm noticing with the game. If you start with lightweight setting, Kid's Gunhound is missing the armor plating like yours when it his shouldn't(?), and your Gunhound moves too fast during the opening cutscene due to the higher mobility. Also there's no sprite for the Grenade Launcher.

Broken Online Strategy Guide (on non-Internet Explorer browsers)

For some reason the online strategy guide for the game doesn't display properly at all on Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, but works perfectly fine on Internet Explorer. I'm not sure if it's possible, but can the online strategy guide (and maybe the manual) be recompiled as its own HTML document that can be opened with an internet browser like other doujin games (e.g. RosenkreuzStilette, Koumajou Densetsu, Ultimate Knight Windom XP) so it can be preserved if anything happens to the website?

It makes me glad that I'm not the only one that thinks this game needs better translations as well. That and rebindable keys.
