And, by the way, I am not asking for any changes to the engine. From my preliminary testing, the Carol Reed hint system now works! Which is how it should be.

If it is of any help, I do have an old savegame at the start of Carol Reed 9 – Cold Case Summer that works on ScummVM 2.0.0 but not the latest 2.1.0 git, and a new savegame at the same place using a recent 2.1.0 git. The newer savegame file is considerably larger than the old one. I assumed that was...

I am sorry if this is totally the wrong forum – maybe I didn’t understand the forum description Fangame Creation AGI, SCI, Wintermute, Sludge engines fangame creation discussion I also do not remember me complaining the savegames no longer work – I have always been willing to replay the games. Consi...

Given the recent work on the Wintermute 2D engine and the passing of Wintermute 2.5 & 3D to ResidualVM, I am wondering if the 2D engine could become officially supported in the next release of ScummVM. I have completed over 35 Wintermute 2D games, using the long-standing (ScummVM 2.0.0 and earli...

Check your Graphics Mode (Options -> Graphics Tab -> Graphics Mode).

I am guessing yours is set to something like 3X. Mine 'cleans up' like your ScummVM version 2.0.0 if I set the Graphics Mode to OpenGL.

I don't think you will have any joy with either of these games as the current ScummVM Wintermute engine is restricted to 2D adventures. Alpha Polaris is definitely a 2.5D game and I would expect that the latest JULIA game is no longer 2D (at least I couldn't get it to work). Although neither the Scu...

Further to my comment in the thread about the 1.10.0 release, I confirm I have completed over the last couple of years : A Carol Reed Mystery - 04 - East Side Story A Carol Reed Mystery - 05 - The Colour Of Murder A Carol Reed Mystery - 06 - Black Circle A Carol Reed Mystery - 07 - Blue Madonna A Ca...

I see mention made in the scumm-devel link about the 1.10.0 release of a suggestion of including Wintermute and, in particular, the Carol Reed games. I have completed all CR games (from 04 East Side Story to 12 Profound Red) and another 19 Wintermute games (list available). I think these should be c...

ScummVM is ported to nearly everything. @Osprey, indeed ScummVM is ported to Linux - this was one of the reasons that supported my decision 2 years ago to remove Windows OS and install Linux (Mint) on all the family's computers. I do run the stable Linux ScummVM version (whenever it is released) bu...

Just to confirm I have got Osprey's patcher to work correctly on the uncompressed MUSIC.LIB file. I first ran a saved game from the opening scene using the unpatched (original) MUSIC.LIB file and the music lasted around 69 seconds. I then ran the patch to amend MUSIC.LIB. I played the same saved gam...

Game : The Shine of a Star I have got to the end of the game but I am not sure I would call it completable, because I started it with the latest Windows 64 development version and finished it with an older stable Linux version. I shall put in a bug report but the problems all come in the shovel puzz...

Back in July, I was able to complete Riven with a daily build. My save games from then still seem to work. So I suggest getting the latest daily build and giving it a go. I haven't tried it with the latest official (1.9.0) build. I doubt this will work because the game is definitely not officially s...

3. I have completed 12 Wintermute games on Windows including all 8 Carol Reed mysteries. But in Carol Reed 10 & 11 (but not the others), the savegames cannot be loaded from the Linux ScummVM menu (as they can in the ScummVM Windows version). Though they can be loaded in-game. That sounds odd, w...
