i've downloaded jagged alliance for a few days, english version. I tried to install it but after a few seconds pops up a error message: "can't open file qickstrt.sav"

i have no idea what's going on.. maybe u can help me?

today i've downloaded jagged alliance from a other site, again a *dirty word* problem. In the setup pops up a message: "please insert disk #1 and press any key"

but i havent got any cd cause i downloaded it..

That's strange. I think "qickstrt.sav" means quickstart.save, so you should search the JA directory and see if you've got the file. If you've got it make sure that it isn't read-only. Right-click on the file=>properties and somewhere down you should see if the box left to "read-only" is ticked; if yes remove it by clicking on that boxz again. If not, I haven't got an idea.

i have only a file called "QUICK.SAV" i think that's it, but i don't got any option like "read-only" or something

What do you mean that "i don't got any option like "read-only" or something" ? You didn't saw one in properties ?

jep, i don't saw anything like this

Just wait a minute until I make a screenshot, ok ?

okay, but another question: do u know this game? if yes, u played it ?

I know and played this game. I also played JA Unfinished Business and JA2. :D

okay, i think u played the english version?

is it normal that u can't save until a fight, or in a unsecure sector?

Well I remember that you can save in a fight. Why ?

(And yes, I played the english version)

The second screenshot should come soon, but first what kind of Windows have you got ?

i have downloaded jagged alliance, not the install file but the game directory,(if u know what i mean) so i can play the game, but i can't save until a fight. That's my problem.

as i played the game for a few years, the german version, i can remember that after the installation a window poped up that asked if i would like to enable the quicksave during a fight!

in this game, i have, is it unabled. i can't play the game this way, because i need to save..

windows 2000

I understand. Can't you download the install file ?

i have the install file, but i can't install it! thats my problem in this thread :not_ok:

I'm stupid. can't you download the installer from another site ? it seems that qickstrt.sav is missing from what you downloaded. What I had was from this site (but w can't enable the download for it :( ) and it didn't had an installer

i have searched a long long time where i can dl it.. but i haven't found anything else, may u know? :help:

46,1 mb it's not 1 installation file, it's the game directory with the installation file in it

Since this game is protected by ESA I can't give you a link, but I shall give you a tip: try searching on free-game-downloads or Home of The Underdogs. :ok: (or just google "download jagged alliance")

free-game-downloads i found, but i gotta pay for this..

and in google, ohh hell.. i'm searched for everything.. i guess i found 2 site where i can dl it with the installation file in the directory, but in one it miss the qickstrt.sav, and in the other i should put in the cd, but i don't have any jagged alliance cd..

please, give me qickstrt.sav or send me a link.. just between me and u :D

i have this one downloaded from the underdogs, the qickstrt.sav file missing!

Try on the sites listed on this site's home page; one the adresses should have JA

Search the game here or on an abandonware ring. I must go. :bye:

i found one.. i download it with 2.6 kb/s... VERY SLOW :(

thank u very much for your help,
i hope i manage it so that it works.. WITH SAVING :D

look back again,
so we can talk more later..


one question: are u sure that u can save durin a fight in english version?


all time the same..i can play but not save.. may u know where i can enable it? in game options i haven't found anything..

I'm very sure. Imagine a fight in which you attack a big enemy. Wouldn't you like to save in a fight like that? hehe I assure you that you can save.

Good luck playing. *goes back to the kitchen to eat; yum-yum :bleh: *

I JUST WANNA SAVE :(

Search a bit in the in-game options. I think there's an "allow quicksaving in combat" button to click or something like that.

where? i can't find it!

u mean in the control planet?

Not planet, panel. :ok: Where's beefonthebone when you need him ? :P Anyway I think that is where the option to save is. In JA 2 you just had to press ALT+S to autosave and ALT+L to load. I don't remember how to do this in JA 1, but I know for sure that I could save in it (JA 1).

Oh and for "thank u very much for your help": no problem. i like helping people when I can (I usually can't but when we are talking about my favourite game series ever I am pretty sure I can help; if you need any tips and hints pm me - control panel (somewhere up) => compose new message (somewhere left))

control panel, for sure! :ok:

i can remember when u first time start the game, u get asked if u enable quicksave during fight, or something like that.
but in all the versions if downloaded this option is dissabled, and i don't know how i can enable it.. this is really *meep*ed up.. damn
