https://storage.rcs-rds.ro/links/ff4f86f9-75a5-4c7a-9520-3cb5bec22814
Just choose the latest one dated 01.01.2021

This latest SCI is also fully compatible with Windows XP users, as this is set as the default compilation mode by Sevenfm.

When playing Vengeance, ensure you use the JA2_Vengeance.exe - using the normal ja2.exe will not work, and will corrupt your data!
