Myst: Mechanical Age: Achenar's torture chamber doesn't flash visually when hitting the switch

[theAntaegonist]

The torture chamber in Achenar's hidden room on the Mechanical Age fortress doesn't flash visually when hitting the electric switch. Only the "zap" audio plays, but there isn't a corresponding visual feedback.

Game: Myst ME from GOG (listed as 1.0 SVM UPDATE in GOG Galaxy)
Scummvm setting: defaults from GOG install

Thanks for your report.
ScummVM has the same behavior for Myst ME and Myst in that it plays the zap sound occasionally, and no white flash every time the switch is flipped
In Myst ME original engine it has the zapping sound and occasionally a flash. In Myst it has the white flash every time you flip the switch, but no zapping sound.

Thanks for your report, this was fixed in commit 5cff361. Daily builds with version 2.1.0git-2787 and above should behave correctly.
