Jagged Aliance 2 (linux ver) under 6.10

[Alpha1Dash1]

Last week I installed JA2 (native linux version) under 6.06 smp, using the lokki installer. Everything worked (with the exception of sound - a prob I'd not sorted yet). Upgraded to 6.10 yesterday, and now when I try and run ja2 I get a segmentation fault. Has anyone else come across this?

Tribsoft's port has several serious drawbacks. It is linked against an old version of glibc, which is incompatible to newer versions. It has some serious bugs (crashing the moment your sectors are attacked among others) which can't be fixed by users (it is closed source) and won't be patched by Tribsoft (they are gone).

You can try Ja2 stracciatella port

Except some minor issues, works prety well.

Many thanks to both Josip Lazic & Sir_Yaro (don't know why I didn't see SY's reply before) - I'll dl the svn version & give it a go.

<edit>
just dled the svn, compiled & it all works a treat - although 640x480 looks pretty tichy on my monitor - does anyone know how to make it swap to full screen (I know it'll be blurry, but that may be better than tiny!)

AFAIK this (http://www.google.pl/search?num=75&hl=pl&newwindow=1&q=rapidshare+Jagged+Aliance+2&btnG=Szukaj&lr=) is only way.
