Change the final boss' ultimate attack in Gunvolt's story (spoilers)

The PC port of Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 retains a specific microphone use during the game's final boss battle from the original 3DS version, whereas the Switch port was altered to compensate for lack bult-in microphone support.
Disable/remove any microphones connected to the computer before launching the game.[5]

Known Issues

- If set game language to Traditional Chinese and fight EX Merak, EX Carrera, and EX Jota until they are ready to perform their special attacks, the game will crash. This glitch can be avoided by replacing tc_arc.irarc and tc_arc.irlst files under /Azure Striker Gunvolt 2/win/data/gv2/resarc with the files in the initial launched build of PC/Steam version (ver. 20200622).


- In Score Attack mode, if go pacifist (no kills) in a regular stage, wait for 5 stars required time to expire, then touch the body of a boss to remove Kudos before defeating such boss with a normal shot, the total score would be glitched. This glitch can be avoided by playing the initial launched build of PC/Steam version (ver. 20200622) instead of the latest build.
