How to Install

You need to own a copy of Jagged Alliance 2 (v1.0 – v1.12). JA2 Reborn does not provide any game files.

1

Create a new game directory on your device

Create a folder on your Android device where JA2 Reborn will read the game data from, e.g. /sdcard/games/jaggedalliance2.

2

Copy the game data

Copy the data folder of your Jagged Alliance 2 installation into this directory, so you end up with /sdcard/games/jaggedalliance2/data.

3

Pick the directory and choose your language

Select the game directory within the start launcher and choose the correct language of your game files.

4

Supported languages

Game files: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Simplified Chinese, and Dutch.

Version 1.0.3 View release on GitHub

Highlights

  • New launcher resolution presets: Modern for the recommended readable UI, High Res (More Map) for more tactical map area with a smaller UI, and Retro for fixed classic 640x480 mode.
  • Expert Settings now gate manual resolution, scaling, and legacy control mode choices.
  • Menus, splash screens, videos, and map screens are presented in a centered 4:3 area so they are no longer stretched on wide displays.
  • High Res mode supports larger action panel defaults for phones.
  • Retro touch mapping was corrected for bottom-panel controls and merc portrait selection.
  • Crash reports now include crashlog-latest.txt next to the emergency savegame when possible.
