• Test the game with only one selected language.
• Only sound files are affected (they are mostly located inside PAK file).
• Video files are not touched in this test. You can remove them manually.
• Included is a .md5 file for game version 05.10.2024 which just checks the correct checksum of "Bates-Windows.pak" file. You can make your own checksum file if you want.

How:

1. Extract contents of untildawn.7z into "Windows\Bates\Content\Paks" folder
2. Run "_1.bat"
   • Backup will be made automatically if it does not exist. Backup file is "Bates-Windows.backup".
   • If anything goes wrong, simply rename the file extension ".backup" to ".pak", then you have original untouched file.
3. Wait for extracting the game file, then select the audio language you want to use.
4. If the whole process is done, play the game.

If everything is going well and the game is working like it should (don't mind the overall performance problems of current games state), then this test is done.

Notes:

• Purpose of "_2.bat" is just to decode "Bates-Windows.pak" back into it's original state.
• This test does not encode any of the sound files, so compressing the game does not decrase nor increase the output (it should'nt).
• Keep in mind that with altered "Bates-Windows.pak" file any patch for this game will not work because of wrong checksum of this file. For this purpose you have the backup file.
