Alright, I just found this project, and am really impressed by what you have so far. Please keep in mind that this isn't just a bug report, but my impressions on the project as well.

On to the bug report:

Ok, I downloaded the Coldest428 build from the site,  and the first thing I did was cringe at the GUI.

I think that it should have a minimalistic approach for now, such as Valve does (text as buttons with background pic).
Well, I got over it, still really excited to try the game. I go into the settings, change some options, and it crashes. I open it back up, and change each setting one by one, and changing the resolution froze the interface. When I end the program through the task manager and boot back into it, the game resizes to the resolution I picked before it froze.
 
Here's the DxDiag if you need it.

**After I realized that the game had sound, I tried it again with my headphones on, and the sound played back with no problems.

Otherwise, there are a few design choices with the inputs I don't like, but meh, it's a mech game. I'm VERY impressed with what you have so far, especially as you seem to be the only one working on it. Keep up the good work, and don't loose sight of the goal!

PS: Two things: What language are you using? I might be able to help code the boring parts. Second, you should really play Armored Core: For Answer. I know it's for PS3 and XBOX 360 and not everyone has it, but that's more the area I think you should go, as your level design is more PvP and arcade than mech sim. Look forward to hearing back!
