You might say to just google it, that brings me a build that is from 2015.

The newest one on moddb is from 2008

And by digging around in the bearspit forum to try to find information on how to get to game and mod to run
on windows 10 i hear they mention a a build thats from 2017.

Ive tried to dig around in forums to find any sort of information. But mod makers arent always the best at giving outsiders any form of information.

I tried using the build from 2015 but on windows 10 that seems impossible to get running.
Go to pit -> section: Modding HQ 1.13, select topic: "Depri's v1.13 Builds and Packages"
(direct link: http://thepit.ja-galaxy-forum.com/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=282&)
Check the 1st message, and perhaps the last ones on any bug feedbacks, in case download the 2nd latest build.
Note that the unpacked archive will contain a .zip with win8&10 fix in folder: \docs\windows compatibility fix.

It appears to me that you are rather new to 1.13, so allow me some advice:
I recommend to carefully check \data-1.13\ja2options.ini file before you start a new game at all,
e.g. set [enable_massive_conterattack_on_drassen] (or so) = FALSE,
else each sam site or completely taken town will trigger a coordinated assault with up to 80 soldiers,
depending on difficulty lvl. Random patrols may join on top of that ;)
I would also disable vehicles in patrols or at least assign a higher progress to trigger them
in case you play with low item progress and/or on high difficulty.

You may also want to take a look at the new features,
many of them are explained in Modding HQ 1.13 -> "Flugente's Magika Workshop"
and/or can be watched on YT, check channels of "Flug Ente" and "Sevenfm",
special recommendatons go to "radio operator" & "Covert ops"(also check \skills_settings.ini to get the mechanics)

So i just get the latest or second latest 1.13 SCI and do as instructed?

I ask because most of the threads i find are old and give very confusing and contrary information.

I have played 1.13 before but that was like 5ish years ago maybe. I remeber it being quite simple to get an install off moddb back then.

Thank you for the information tho, i will try this later today.

Muad.406: So i just get the latest or second latest 1.13 SCI and do as instructed?
Yes. SCI stands for Single Click Installer. While that's slightly exaggerated, it's as close as it can be.
Thank you.

I was going to try this out last night so i can mark this as solved.

But then my graphics card melted for unrelated reasons... kinda put a halt to things.
Thanks.

I had the same problem, didn´t even know, that there were newer builds and discarted 1.13.
So did the OP get the game working in the end?

I have win 10 and the game runs slooow, bullet tracers are slow and mouse laggy.

Is there some players who have no problems and can run it on Windows 10?

I had tried some other things in this forum ages ago when i attempted to fix the game (i think the one where you replace some .dlls - didnt work) ive tried running game in compadability mode etc.

Either this isnt a wide spread problem and GOG havent bothered to do something about it or it cant be fixed.
What if I don't want to be a guinea pig / beta tester? Where are the stable releases?

smerles: What if I don't want to be a guinea pig / beta tester? Where are the stable releases?
Latest "stable" aka official release is available at ja2v113.pbworks.com/w/page/4218334/Downloads,
its quite outdated, contains more bugs than the dev builds, and there will probably never be any "official" update,
as the "beta" releases are considerd among players and devs as not less stable as 7435/7609
in fact they have even some bugs removed that still existed in 7609,
and contain a ton of new features, from easing micromanagement to strong impact on gameplay,
with the option to individually switch them on/off in the .ini file.

tldr: forget Depris colorful disclaimer and use the real thing
