Anybody notice games not working with latest update?

Post by VinnieL »

Hey...

I noticed that with the latest update.. (Why btw does ScummVM update daily now??.. I've installed a new update every single day for the past 2 weeks which I thought was kind of strange) .. Anyway.. I noticed with the latest update that a lot of games I was running through ScummVM now refuse to work.. examples: Phantasmagoria 2, Police Quest etc.. They will either crash, refuse to work or will run so slowly like massive frame rate drops..

Has anybody else experienced this issue and if so .. what did you do to fix it?

VinnieL: What platform are you running ScummVM on? i.e. is this Win32, OSX, Linux, Android or iOS autoupdate ... There shouldn't be daily updates, unless you are on some kind of testing / nightly build?

My O/S is Windows 10.. as for the build.. I'm not sure.. I don't believe its a testing build.. It should just be a normal build.. All I know is the latest update from today has caused all the games to get very bad frame rate issues making them virtually unplayable as well as the occasional crash back to Windows.

Hi.
I've just tried it, with latest build from Git, with PQ4 and QfG4, and they both work fine.
Something seems to be weird with your installation.

I'd suggest that you'll remove your ScummVM, and start from scratch...

If it's still not working, please give more details - where did you install from exactly, the version you see in the `about` section, and then give exact details (what PQ did you try? what game 'refuse to work'? what exactly does it mean?)
