Zak McKraken FM Towns too fast?

Post by Spellbreaker »

Hello.

I have a Problem: I wanted to play Zak McKraken FM-Towns Version, but it's too fast. When you enter the airplane, it just takes 3-5 seconds and the sequence ends, so you have actually no chance to solve the puzzles there ( stuff sink, put egg in mw oven, open all cabinets, and so on ).

Any suggestions? Amiga Version works well...

What device or operating system are you running ScummVM on?

And out of curiosity, where did you get the FM Towns Zak? I am looking for it.

I tried on Android, Windows 7 and Wii . Same problem on all three of them, but with different time. Seems that the timer is somehow processor-dependent. ( On my PC the airplane sequence ends after 2-5 seconds, on Android it ends after 10 seconds or so... only on FM Towns Version, other versions are working well).

I bought the Zak FM Towns Version on Ebay some time ago. Was €70, which is quite cheap. Usually FM Towns Games on Ebay are around 130 Bucks, the Scumm Games usually even more expensive :D

You could try to submit a bugreport? Not many devs have a copy of the FM Towns version of Zak McKracken so it may take a while.

This issue has been observed with non FM-Towns versions before, see bug #1676326.

I'm sure I played through the whole of Zak FM-Towns without any problems... was a few years ago though, I don't have the game any more to test it again.

Have you tried an old scummvm build - I would have played probably pre-2008.

Added a comment to that bug, maybe it helps. I like the fm towns version most.
