I have often seen this problem but always assumed it was due to using boot parameters. Just use a boot parameter to re-produce issue, 470 in this case.

Hello My little brother wanted to play COMI on my computer and I said fine but I don't want it installed on my harddrive so I said run it in scummvm. He soon hit this bug and was quite upset about it :( (he doesnt understand what a bug is) Tried with CVS from yesterday on windows 2000. Whats the status on solving this bug? Do you need any more information? Still needing save file? I saw one was already attached so I guess fingolfins comment does not apply any more?

Some sidenotes on comi: The game requires some really intensive discswap that I can't imagine the official engine does (I know I can copy the game to hdd). ScummVM is also a lot slower than the the official engine and lags and skips trough large part of high motion scenes on my pentium 266 MHz where the official game engine runs smooth on my other p 166 MHz computer but occationally crashes instead (old obsolete win me instable as hell computer ;-)

Fixed in CVS. It turned out that an odd workaround I added a long time ago hinted at a deeper problem, I just didn't understand it properly: COMI is special regarding the way it pre-declares two dimensional arrays. A small tweak in ScummEngine_v8::readArrayFromIndexFile() not only solved this problem but allowed me to get rid of that old hack. And it might very well fix other problems, too :-).
