Hey everybody, i just joined this forum and am new here. though I not used to this forum, i found it very useful as i found out many things which i did not know about in jagged alliances 1 and 2. I'm quite young to be able to play Jagged Aliiance 1/2 and most of my friends had never played it before, so there isnt any tips or help coming from them. I just want to know which is the newest version of JA2 as i only have the v1.03 version that was released in 1999 , i heard and read about newer versions but had never got the chance to update mine, can anyone please post a link to a most recent/official patch on the game and not a mod to the game. I want to experience the game without any cheats/ help by modding it. Thx!

The 1.07 is my favorite 'vanilla' exe. I don't know what the current download sites are for it but if you look around I'm pretty sure you will find one run by the forum member Kermi and perhaps a few others.

All the 1.07 does is remove a few bugs. The 1.12 is the newest vanilla exe and you may wish to try this as well but it is not the one I would recommend.

Good luck and welcome aboard.

1.07 definitely or the 800x600 "Hires" which lets you see a tiny bit more of the map at a glance.

Why not gold ?(1.12 patch here http://area.xrmb2.net/area?location=dwnPatches))
I prefer 1.13 myself with all the bells on , but you can get higher resolution onscreen with this (than 1.07), Will still lives in the PC Dark Ages... Very Happy

So thx guys im successful in updating my version, it now states ver 1.07 build 00 something something
I just want to know, what are the notice-able changes from 1.03 to 1.07? I did notice that the time taken to calculate whether you are able to snatch an enemy's weapon or not has been greatly reduced, i also found a new LMG, are there any other changes?

1.07 is just a patch... you don't need gold for it to work (in fact gold has some extra dumb morality applied which may irritate; that's why people say 1.07 is better)

a brothel where you are not charged and where (behind closed doors) sounds are produced that remind more to a machinery failure


@ will

is there a re-patch somewhere?

No idea. !.07 is stand alone patch I have at home but Gold is after isn't it so would f*ck it up.

Lockie-wan... not dark ages just vintage car attitude. Besides above 800x600 it's almost all too small for me to see & read esp inventory screen. You'll eat your words when you see the new stuff anyway. Dark ages indeed pfft!

@ Will.... Hehheh Smile , buy bigger glasses :nerd: but , vintage cars are good as are women of a certain age ( basically , my age Very Happy )

@Dboy , go for the patch ( 1.12 ,or Gold as it's known )and see the differences yourself , then play 1.13 !

wait wait wait im getting confused, it says that in order to be able to install JA2 gold ver. 1.12, i must have JA 2 Gold edition first, unlike 1.07 , in which i have the original one. So ver.1.12 is only applicable for JA2 gold?

I think 1.12 is the Jagged Alliance 2 game that is included in the Gold edition.

Look to the Lockie's post several posts above.

If this does not help you out, try an US v1.12 patch available here.

Other than that... try looking for JA2 Gold on eBay or similar service, someone out there may have a copy for sale...

Let me elaborate on Logisteric's answer, in case this is not entirely clear:

Any version up to and including 1.12 is "Vanilla" - the unmodded game. Version 1.13 is a mod.

1.12 version is the only one called Gold, as it was released in the Jagged Alliance 2 Gold Edition, which included both JA2 and JA2,5:UB. Later on, a stand-alone patch was also released to allow older versions to be patched to 1.12. So whoever says "Gold", means version 1.12.

Now, you probably wanted to ask...
Doggyboyboi
I just want to know if version 1.13 works on Vanilla, or does it only work with Vanilla Gold?

Now this question makes sense, and the answer is:

Version 1.13 will work on Gold, and will work on older Vanilla versions as well (down to 1.05 for certain). Just use the latest installer available via the quick link above the list of forums and you're good to go. If your Vanilla version is older than 1.05, first apply some official patch to bring it to 1.05 at least, then install 1.13. Should set you up all right.

The 1.13 will work on any version that is not defective. I've installed over the 1.03 fresh out of the box and had no problems.

I remember some time ago them saying to patch up to the 1.07 first but nowadays you don't need to patch anything, just install the 1.13, get a barf bag and have at it.

1.12 is just the same vanilla as the older older versions, only with some glitches corrected and stability improved. Nothing new re the gameplay, plot et al.
If you really want it, either look for Gold edition via eBay or somesuch, or apply the patch Lockie or I point you to over your older version.

Layer 1.13 directly over your 1.07 . Or , use SVN for continueous updates ......
