Jane's Longbow 2 is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person and third-person action and vehicle combat game in the Jane's Combat Simulations series.
The game suffers from crashes at the end of any mission on computers running modern versions of Windows, regardless of failure or success in the mission. Using a custom graphics renderer is needed.
