Hello,

When leaving the doll room, the 11th hour crashes most of the time (not everytime) and there a lot of visual glitches during the animation.

Here is a log when it's not crashing :

The only difference seems the engine does not manage to skip the last 25 bytes each time.
For your information : I'm testing the French version of the 11th Hour and

I'm now near the end of the game :)
Thanks for your work !

I'm having some trouble reproducing the crash. Did you get an error dialog or anything when it crashed?

in reply to:  1 comment:2 by Choucas06, 3 years ago

I don't have any error dialog, ScummVM just "disappears". On the logs, there is nothing more.
Maybe there were errors when I copied the files from the discs, I will try to do it again.
Or maybe it's linked to the french version...

[EDIT] I did a copy of the 4 CDs and I have still the same issue.
But I noticed that it crashes everytime when the simpler AI is enabled on the game option... strange no ?

what if you copy CD1 into your game directory to overwrite the files? We noticed that Tender Loving Care has some bad files on other CDs and CD1 had fixed versions of those files. Maybe this is similar?

comment:4 by Choucas06, 3 years ago

I did copy the CD1 and overwritten the files. I still have the same issue.
I launched the game several times, and it's a random crash : it crashed the 2 first times I launched the game, then it stopped crashing the next 10 times (I had the hope it was solved by "magic") and then it crashed again.
I don't find a way to make it happen systematically...
The French version is also on an abandonware website, I will try to download it and check if this issue is due to my CDs.

EDIT : I donwloaded the CD Isos and I still have the same issue. I don't know what to do, is there a paramater on ScummVM to add more detailled logs or to make it generate a dumplog when it crashes ?

Hello,
I just tested, and it worked the first time I went through the passage but it crashed the second time. I attached the log : it managed to skip the frames the first time, and I went back to the desktop without any error message on the second time.

Hello,
I saw there had a lot of changes in the Groovie engine recently so I took the last build of ScummVM and tested it.
It's not crashing anymore !
So for me, the problem is now fixed :-)
Thanks !
