Trivia

  • Original names: フロントミッション5 〜Scars of the War〜 (SLPM-66205) & (SLPM-66421)
  • There is a community (Front Mission 5 Team) English patch for this game which is available here. Regarding the "rename" option which still displays the Japanese kana/kanji combination, simply use L1/R1 buttons to flip to the alternate alphabet pages - which also include English.


Known Issues

Crash when trying to load a saved game

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Serious
  • Description: When you go to Load Game and try to load a saved game, the game immediately freezes. This happens in hardware mode. Regression in later versions 1.7.

No combat lines

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: There are no combat lines (attack lines, links) in missions. Thought, they are present in simulator fights.

  • Type: Minor
  • Description: There is ghosting around objects in hardware mode at 1080p.

Fixed Issues

Misaligned Text

  • Status: Fixed
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Text has odd dots and vertical lines due to being misaligned in Hardware Mode at 1080p

Shadow Artifacts
