│ Troubleshooting: │ │
│ │ │
│ If you have trouble using the arrow-keys to control your ship, │ │
│ try using the arrow-keys on the numeric keypad. │ │
│ │ │
│ Make sure all files from the original BATS.ZIP are in the │ │
│ same directory, and that you start the game from that directory. │ │
│ │ │
│ If you run the game from floppy or a very slow hard disk, you may │ │
│ notice a slow-down in the music and animation between rounds. This │ │
│ is normal. Don't run the game from CD-ROM, copy it to hard disk. │ │
│ │ │
│ To run the game under Windows (not recommended), run it in a │ │
│ full-screen, exclusive window. You may also have to turn off │ │
│ DIGITAL FX under the SOUND menu. │ │
│ │ │
│ There is a problem with Bats and the Ensoniq Soundscape card. │ │
│ To use Bats with this card, run "bats nofm". You only have to do │ │
│ this once. This disables FM sound in Bats. You must do this │ │
│ even if you set your Ensoniq to FM emulation mode. Otherwise, you │ │
│ may notice weird sound in Bats, plus problems with Windows 3.1. │ │
│ This also turns on the combination of PC and Digital sound │ │
│ effects. You can still turn these on and off individually in the │ │
│ SOUND menu from the main menu. (Note: the "nofm" setting is saved │ │
│ in BATS.SET. To cancel "nofm" delete BATS.SET. If you delete │ │
│ BATS.SET for any other reason, remember to run "bats nofm" again.) │ │
│ │ │
│ If you have problems and you are running Stacker, try running Bats │ │
│ from a non-stacker drive. │ │
│ │ │
│ Your settings are saved in a file called BATS.SET. Keyboard │ │
│ settings are in BATS.KEY, and joystick settings are in BATS.JOY. │ │
│ You can erase these files to reset the game back to its default │ │
│ state. │ │
│ │ │
│ If you are tired of seeing the intro everytime you play, choose │ │
│ INTRO in the MORE... menu from inside the game, and it will change │ │
│ to INTRO:OFF. │ │
│ │ │
│ If the game is too difficult: It always seems that way at first- │ │
│ keep playing and you will improve! Remember to move up and down │ │
│ to avoid bats that come from the sides. │ │
