GF - Screen goes white during some dialogue / cut scenes

[RDarke]

Hey everyone,

I finally figured out how to get the game running. However, when I'm talking to someone, sometimes the screen just goes white and I can't see anything. It stays that way until I hit "esc" and then it jumps to the next part of the game.

Anyone else have this problem? Is there a known fix?

Thanks!

What platform, what language version of the game, and what version of ResidualVM?

Also, software rendering, or OpenGL?

Since the OP seems to have vanished I'll hijack this because I get the same problem and I found something that worked for me.

Platform:
Win7 64bit

ResidualVM version:
0.1.1 (Feb 10 2013 21:59:36)
0.2.0gite729ab6 (May 23 2013 22:37:43)

Software or OpenGL:
OpenGL

I get the following in the text window when I run with HW rendering:

Code: Select all

User picked target 'grim-win' (gameid 'grim')...
  Looking for a plugin supporting this gameid... Grim Engine
  Starting 'Grim Fandango'

I have an ATI Radeon HD4850 card with driver version 8.56.1.16 (Microsoft WDDM 1.1). Perhaps that has something to do with it.

What worked for me was to use software rendering. Just make sure you don't have override in the game options, that threw me off at first.

Try to add:
use_arb_shaders=false

to your residualvm.ini file. (See Readme for location).

Thanks but that didn't do the trick, still the white screen and the same errors.

I'm hearing other people complain about this issue on my blog, too.
