DIY on Clear Speed of Text Boxes Before Death Screens in SQ3?

I have been playing Space Quest 3 and have come across an issue which might seem trivial for some but is causing me some difficulties because of the way I play the game. In some death events, the text box displayed right before the death box (i.e. the one where you restore, restart, or quit) clears ...

My PQ2 Game Keeps Crashing

I've reached a point in Police Quest 2, the airport on day 1, where every few minutes the game keeps crashing to Windows. I keep trying different things in the game, but the crash keeps happening. I think I may recall the same problem on a playthrough a very long time ago (about 20 years ago) and I ...

Similar Problem in KQ4

About a month ago (or so) I reported a problem with King's Quest 3 where the text boxes during automatic sequences were being cleared from the screen too quickly before I could read them. Now I am having a similar problem with King's Quest 4. This is the SCI version.

At this point, my preference would be for leave as is.

Downloading the Daily Build

A response to a ticket about Space Quest 2 text box speed told me to download the latest daily build.

Here is the ticket: https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/15145#comment:1

However, I am still learning my way around using ScummVM and am not sure how to download and install the daily build.

Thanks.

Question about Minor Issue in Original LSL1 Age Quiz

This might seem too minor an issue to bring up, but I'm wondering about what I'm pretty sure is a bug in the age quiz for the original Leisure Suit Larry 1. One of the questions appears to have been coded for an incorrect answer: specifically, the question about what show Bob Hope, Dinah Shore, Elvi...

Need Help with Accessing Debugging in KQ3

I am experiencing some odd glitch involving the conversations for the mice in the hold of the pirate ship. After reporting that the mice conversations were simply not triggering, a developer looked into it and posted this message on my ticket: Okay, there are 5 mice dialogs available and they are ch...

KQ2 Question I Don't Know if Anyone Can Answer (but It Would be Nice if Someone Could)

When playing King's Quest 2, something always bugs me (mildly). According to both Sierra's hint book and the friend who introduced me to the game long ago, Dracula is supposed to appear and attack you at some point(s) in his castle (perhaps randomly), and your only protection is to wear the silver c...

Re: Slowing Down AGI?

Guess I'd better report it as an effective bug, then.

Slowing Down AGI?

I'm playing KQ3 and the introduction goes by quite fast on modern computer, even on ScummVM. (This is a little exacerbated by the fact that I enjoy reading the games' dialogue text out loud, when I am alone in the room.) Is there a way to slow ScummVM down?

Re: Dial Not Spinning All the Way Around in Squid Stone Runes Puzzle in QfG4-a Bug?

I would like to make a suggestion on the ticket (officially marked by sluicebox as "wontfix") I opened that's now been closed. Is there a way I can do that? If not, is there another way I can make a suggestion about the website? (Remember, I'm still new here.)

Re: Kings Quest 7 (VII) cant enlarge Troll King at the end of Chapter 4: Will the Real Troll King Please Stand Up?

I realize I'm necroing a very old thread, but I know what the "T" and "F" letter settings on the wand mean: It's not "true" and "false." They refer to the kind of creature the wand can currently affect. "T" stands for "troll," which is why ...
