Jagged Alliance Back in Action - 1.13 Patch Fix

This is a temporary workaround which allows you to play JA BIA with the current 1.13 SKIDROW patch. Install the 1.13 patch first, then place the directory from this torrent into your bin_win32 directory.

It should end up here :

JABIA  bin_win32  interface

*IMPORTANT* : When you hit "Start New Game" you will notice that the text for Tactical Mode (it is the second set of checkboxes), as well as the "Start" button, have been replaced with "Invalid Text". Tactical mode itself works, you just have to tick the second box on the bottom row.

This is due to a partially corrupted copy of the patch and will no doubt be fixed when SKIDROW release an official proper.

(The last torrent I uploaded included the wrong files. Sorry about that.)

wow, so 1 whole directory was missing? well no surprise the game didn't work.

thanks man!

No, they aren't missing. These files are in the interface_win32.pak.crypt file, which is included in the patch. If you patch the game in English, some of these files become corrupted though, so I extracted and replaced the broken files with working copies from the Polish patch.

I also haven't tested it past the first mission, so I'm not sure if there are any other issues. And when the proper version of the cracked patch is released, MAKE SURE you delete these files before you install it.

The issues with invalid text are also in a lot more places.
For example, when in the map and you select the airport, in the lower right corner there are buttons to improve militia.
However, i have no idea what those buttons do! As the text is invalid.

One looks to be a female/male choice, but i think it's something else.
The "plus" buttons add militia or militia strength, however you can't tell the cost for it as the text is invalid.

i would assume publisher presssure and/or they ran out of limited funds. it's common but good on them for continuing to support it after release.

i still cant see small letter of texts when game starts i did what you say but nothing changed :(

thunderapo at 2012-05-07 03:15 CET:

still cant read small letters after doing what you say :(

I've seen the additional invalid text boxes on certain screens (militia for example) but there's nothing I can do without an uncorrupt, patched version of the interface_win32.pak.crypt file. Like I said, this is a temporary workaround so you can at least play the game until we get a proper patch.

thunderapo, the files must not be in the correct place. Make sure that the interface folder, from this torrent, is copied inside the bin_win32 folder in your JA directory, and that the 11 files provided are also inside the interface folder.

it's a little surprising they haven't propered this yet, and it's been past 48 hours which i believe is the self-imposed scene 'limit' for that sort of thing. i guess we have to wait for 1.14 for a complete fix. thank you for taking the time to put this one together for us.

Is there a way to get polish language to work?

Levy_NR at 2012-07-24 00:02 CET:

Still doesn't work (for me). A lot of bugs in interface like "" messages... not so playable with faults like those ones

Hey guys, i couldn't get the game working with this patch, just garbled text. I debugged for about 2 hours and resulted in being able to start the game with full english (no garbled tips).

This is how i did it:
1. Installed SKIDROW beta release
2. Installed SKIDROW 1.12 patch (without crack)
3. Installed SKIDROW 1.13a patch (without crack)
4. Installed SKIDROW 1.13b patch and copied crack over from THIS release
5. Downloaded THIS language fix : http://thepiratebay.ee/torrent/7370759/Jagged_Alliance_Back_in_Action_Patches_Language_Fix
6. Installed above language fix
7. Game starts as normal.

Specs:
Win 7 x64
i7 750
gf470
