Thank you very much for respond.
I'll then go definitely with the version from here as you are suggesting.
4 questions please...
1)
Do I need these 2 additional files from links below as the notes says or it is not needed anymore?
On web pages:
"From 29th Jan you will also need this latest exe that fixes a number of recruitment issues, just copy this over your existing JA2_Vengeance.exe in the parent folder"
https://www.mediafire.com/file/ybkeq62242fi0s9/JA2_Vengeance.exe/file
and then other file from note...
"Finally an extra file is required to be downloaded which was released after the SCI"
https://www.mediafire.com/file/kslktiwx1dfm26x/216.jpc.7z/file
"Please download this file and copy it into your main\Data-Vengeance\Faces folder, this fixes an issue where some battles crash during auto-resolve."
2)
Please this is probably kind of silly question. Where in the game I can see the version of the game (or better of this mod)? I have the feel you can see that on loading screen before main menu pops up. But that is short time. Is there anywhere else listed the version, please?
3) You mentioned in you respond the work on new content. Do you have insight on what it is? What we can get excited about please?
4) I went through the forum and different topics, but I can't find the link for download the changelog. Could you please provide the link?

Is there a way to get off of the Burton helipad? I have a team there that I sent because I kept getting attacked by enemies there, which would then crash the game 100% of the time. Now they're stuck there. I still have more on the main map that I want to do. I can't seem to find an exit at the little island where they emerge. My one thought was skyrider, but that seems broken too - I have Estoni, I have mercs there, but its outside of Skyrider's range to return with sufficient fuel, so he won't fly there, so I can't use it to refuel! Am I missing something with Estoni? I talked to the old guy with the Orta keycard but didn't find anyone else. And am I missing something with the helipad? I think I saw on another forum that there might be a ferry landing elsewhere from the endgame area, but I was hoping for more clarity than an uncertain answer like that.
Thank you!
Edit:
I kept digging and found a solution to reuniting my team:
"you can backtrack back to the mainland by returning to the NW part of Malino island (O11) and there is a teleport near the bollards at the waters edge in the mid Western part of the map. This represents the ferry mooring that travels between O11 and N10 where you can travel on foot as usual from there."
Still not sure if I'm missing something or if its a bug with the fuel though.

Thank you for your response. I have looked for Jake several times but haven't had any luck finding him, I'll look again. The crash happened when I controlled M3-M4, O3-O4, and P3. O2 was the only enemy sector bordering O3, and the crash would happen whenever I was attacked, which seemingly came from O2. Mercs being in the O3 tunnels didn't seem to make a difference. It stopped crashing when I took O2.
Edit: Took Matt and found Jake, now Estoni works as a fuel site, thank you!

I think I'm almost done with the game, but I don't really know where to go from here:
Toggle SpoilerPalacio Islands are taken, and I talked to Enrico and the lady in their palace. Then I advanced into Tracona up to the airfield. I control every single space on the mainland. Joe is dead. But now there is seemingly nowhere else to go. I can't seem to travel on the map or to neighboring sectors, and nor can I find any teleports or stairs next to the airplanes or in the buildings. Any tips?

Toggle SpoilerThank you, figured it out based on that. She was in the corner of a room my mercs weren't looking at, and she wasn't reacting when my mercs walked in, so I just kept missing her. Thanks for the help and the great mod!

Fortesque wrote on Mon, 10 July 2023 13:13Hello.
I tried comparison of my older version with newest one. There is significant difference in CtH for my snipers. I have 4 pictures in total. 2 for each version where each shows CtH without any aiming and second with full aim or reaching max CtH, meaning 100% CtH.
Please see attached pictures.
I focused most of my IMP mercs for sniper. Now with newest CtH they are almost useless with snipers. I would like to keep the newest version of course since it is most updated, more bugs fixed etc. But I would like to change CtH back on values of older version. How I can do that, please? Edit some files? Where I can find them. What I need to change, please? I like very much sniping and I find huge enjoyment in it. That's why I want previous values back.
My older version is (from in game listing with key "V"): JA2 Vengeance : Reloaded 1.13.7609+ (Build 20.01.18).
Do you have the same ini values in both games? Be aware there's a new vision mode Seven introduced, though that should be turned off by default. I can only speculate some values maybe hardcoded in the exe, but you could also look at other values in the ini. I haven't noticed a huge drop in shooting with snipers when aiming, though there are some drops when trying to hit a running target.

Hello.
Thank you for your answer. You were right! Some of the values in INI file are different. But I’m not sure if those values I’m thinking of are the right ones. Because I might used in INI editor different INI file for run the game.
So, I’m editing INI File: Data-Vengeance\Ja2_Options.INI (it is the very last one in the drop-down menu). Maybe I used before different INI File in INI editor to run the game. But for this test I tried both with the same mentioned above and results are still same. Significant drop in aiming accuracy in the new version.
There I think values I need to edit are in the section “Tactical Gameplay Settings”.
Aiming levels reduction on ALTWeaponhold (Not sure if this is for snipers in prone position though.)
Realistic tracers
Num Bullets per tracer
CTH bump per tracer
Min range for tracer (I’m not sure if tracer bullets apply for snipers as I think this is more for auto-fire)
CTH penalty for target movement
MAX CTH penalty for moving target
All values are same in both versions for INI file: Data-Vengeance\Ja2_Options.INI.
Is there anything else what I need to look for, please?
My new test is on enemy showed up from behind the corner. Both cases enemy is standing, so not in running position and movement.
So, if it is not INI values I listed and there are no other values that I’m not aware of, it might be the hardcoding in the EXE file maybe. If that is the case, is there anything that I can do to reverse it to the old values, please? Or is there a chance for update in the future fixing this, please?
Also, that mode Seven you mentioned is what exactly, please? Where in the INI editor I can find it? What does it do, please?
If will be easier to provide files for you to look at it, please just let me know which ones and I’ll do it!
No aim in old version has 38% CtH
Maximum CtH in old version (100%) don't even need to all aim levels for shot to be 100% CtH...
New version no aim has 6% CtH
Maximum aim using all aim levels goes only up to 80% CtH

Hello.
Okay. Thank you for your answer. I'll try that and I'll post here if that worked for me.
EDIT: It works! Accuracy is back to previous values. Thank you for the tip. :-)
Can I have a probably silly question, please? If I run EXE file instead INI editor, what INI file is chosen to use for run the game? There is 7 to choose from. So I wonder which INI settings are automatically chosen when EXE file is run.

Can anyone explain the purpose of the SKS vs SKS PU? From what I understand, the SKS PU just has +1 accuracy but can't take any scope. Is there something I'm missing or should you never use an SKS PU if you have access to an SKS also?
Also, the little scope on the SKS PU seems to imply some sort of magnification unless I'm totally wrong :X I'm not a gun head at all. Is there some magnification missing?

Stanley
Toggle Spoiler
I killed him.
a. If I choose to escort Dwight, does killing Stanley matter?
b. He has a Laptop Transmitter. Is that just for flavour or is there some sort of functionality?

Toggle Spoiler
The Cows quest with Dwight should continue but killing Stanley means some later events won't happen (or they shouldn't to some extent) but there's been very little feedback on this quest so it will be interesting to hear what happens. I have tested some basic run throughs but don't think I killed Stanley in my games.
The transmitter is just flavour for a CIA offical working on a clandestine op.
Toggle Spoiler
I figured as much so I reloaded a previous save just so I could see what happens later on since I've never tried this quest before.
Just to make sure that the quest is running correctly, here's a recap of my actions so far:
1. Decided to escort Dwight. A message from Dwight was triggered and a bunch of people went enemy.
2. Stanley said some stuff that sounded like it was over a megaphone.
3. I killed all the enemies and the sector went liberated.
At this point:
1. I still cannot fast travel so I'm moving through the city, sector by sector.
2. Stanley is just chilling in his map. I talked to him and he repeats his goodbye line when I click any of the conversation options. I've moved Dwight near Stanley to see if there was some sort of proximity trigger event but nothing.
I'm just wondering whether Stanley was supposed to go enemy or some sort of event was supposed to be triggered after I liberated the sector.
Edit: I arrived at G5 and fast travel with Dwight in a squad is working now.
Edit 2: I brought Dwight to G7 and met up with the Indian guy. After chatting, Dwight left my party and gave me 10k. Is that the end of the quest or does something else happen with Stanley as he's just hanging around still?
