TINSEL: Discworld crashes

Reported by: Die4Ever Owned by: sev-
Priority: normal Component: Engine: Tinsel
Version: Keywords: crash discworld
Cc: Game: Discworld

Description

quoted from Mindez in the Speedy Adventures discord:

There are a couple of places that I know it can crash in Discworld:

  • Outside the university, if you spam escape, more often than not it crashes before you can get across the screen. This is maybe 80% consistent.
  • In act 2, when getting the Chimney Sweep's Golden Broom, if you click your mouse while waiting for it to fall, the game instantly crashes. This is 100% consistent.
  • After swapping the book covers it CAN crash, but not consistently enough for me to figure out what causes it. This is maybe 20% consistent, but sometimes it occurs back to back.

A link would be appreciated

I've tried the first one in the PC version of DW1 CD (both SCN and GRA versions), and I couldn't reproduce it. I started the game, went outside to the Unseen University's garden and started walking around while spamming the escape key.

In act 2, when getting the Chimney Sweep's Golden Broom, if you click your mouse while waiting for it to fall, the game instantly crashes. This is 100% consistent.

I tested it and could confirm the second described crash for dw-cd and dw-cd-ru with ScummVM 2.7.0
I attach save file(s) to the ticket. In order to reproduce the bug:

  • as usual, download and place the .000 save file in your ScummVM save-files folder, load the save file in ScummVM;
  • in the game, use the matches on the fuse below the drainpipe, watch the cutscene, but do not wait until it finishes and you get your mouse pointer back - but instead click the left mouse button / space bar when and as soon as you see Rincewind (the wizard) again
