Installation Problems?

Assault Rigs is a DOS based program and must be run from DOS. Windows must be shut off completely in order for the program to run properly. To exit Windows 3.1/3.11, just click "File" from the Program Manager and select "Exit Windows". For users with Win95, You must click "Start" from the Start menu, "Shutdown", and "Restart in MS-DOS mode". When you get a C:\>, just switch to your CD ROM drive and type "Install".

It is possible to get the game to run under Win95, in some cases. Please download the Win95 Installation guide PDF file for more info.

Music & Sound Problems?

Once the game is installed, type "Setup" from your D:\> to select your sound and music cards.

Still no music?

Well, in your Autoexec.bat file, make sure that you have a line that sets up your sound environment. It varies from system to system, but generally looks like this:

Where the SOUNDRIVERS is substituted for the directory your sound card's drivers are in (usually C:\SB16)

What? No sound effects?

Also in your Autoexec.bat file, make sure that you have a line that reads somewhat like this:

This statement lets us know what hardware settings your sound card is using. The usual values are hex address A220 , interrupt I5, DMA channels D1 and T1.

Insufficient base memory?

If you do not have sufficient memory to run Assault Rigs on your configuration, free up some DOS memory by either removing some TSR's, or booting from a disk which is free of device drivers and TSRs (TSRs and device drivers are memory resident programs which can take precious conventional memory). In addition, MS-DOS 5.0 and above have special facilities to help you free up DOS memory.

The DOS command CHKDSK will tell you how much free memory you currently have available. Assault Rigs runs without expanded memory. Therefore, your EMM386 line in your config.sys file should read "C:\DOS\EMM386.exe NOEMS".

To free up more base memory, proceed to the boot disk informationon the following pages. A simple Autoexec.bat and Config.sys file will easily free up enough memory torun Assault Rigs.

Wanna play head to head?

Assault Rigs is able to support network play in DOS on an IPX compatible network with up to 8 players. You do not actually have to log onto the network to play. Just load the bindaries for your network interface card, and IPX or IPXODI. The game will take it from there.

However, if one player is logged fully into the network, then all players should log in. Otherwise, sync errors can occur. Also - due to the 32-bit drivers used for Win95 networking, the game will not run under Win95.

Null-modem serial link mode is also available for up to 2 players with null modem serial cable less than 6 ft.
