For some reason, settings like Master Volume, Wave/SFX Volume, and BGM Volume do nothing when turned up or down. No matter how high or low they are it's always the same sound settings. Going into stage files and changing things like "bgvolume doesn't do anything either. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is or what I can do about it?

Is there anyway to allow you to retain your energy/power from match to match like you do in survival?
