How can I save? :-(

[kicker04]

Nice to meet you,

I am running a very old not so common game called Elroy Goes Bugzerk.

It runs absolutely flawlessly even it's not officially listed as supported. The only problem is, you can guess: I cannot save.
The ingame save doesn't work, and the menu save is not possible either.

Has anyone a solution in mind or knows about that kind of problems?

Thank you very much!

Hello,

- Which version of ScummVM are you testing with?
- Which platform (Windows, Linux, Android, Mac/iOS)?
- Are you able to save in other games that you run with ScummVM? (Maybe it's a folder permissions issue)

From a google search it seems that this game is a Director engine game, but I am not sure what's the Director version (based on the dates it's probably Director 4).

If the issue persists in the latest ScummVM (and ideally you could test with a recent daily development build as well to make sure it's not fixed in the current code), then I'd suggest opening a ticket on the ScummVM bug tracker about this so that the proper developers (familiar with the ScummVM Director engine) will notice and we can track its resolution status.

Dear Praetorian,

Thank you for your feedback!

I'm using the ScummVM version 2.9.0 on Windows 11.
Yes, this problem occurs only in "Elroy goes Bugzerk" not generally when using Scumm.

Can't say about the Director engine. It has been made for Windows 3.1, I reckon. It seems to be abandonware now, just like its successor "Elroy Hits the Pavement".

Thanks for the suggestion about the ticket! I will do that.

hmm, try with your original copy of the game maybe?
