Sherlock Holmes: Serrated Scalpel Bug

[jjost]

I'm playing the Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: Case of the Serrated Scalpel on my Mac Studio Max using ScummVM v 2.5.1. No matter what I do, I can't talk with Jock Mahoney, Nobby, or the Bartender (other than order another beer) in St. Bernard's Publick House. Nobby and Mahoney also seem frozen as they are not playing billiards at all but just standing. The release notes to v 2.5.1 indicates that this bug was fixed, but it doesn't appear so to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, John

I believe this is the related bug ticket and fix you're writing about:

Perhaps eriktorbjorn might know more about the issue.

Sorry, I have no idea. I seem to recall that with the issue that was fixed, leaving and re-entering the room would unfreeze them though. (I could be wrong about that.)

In that case, I think it's better to open a new ticket about this one, noting the potential workaround too.

@jjost could you create the ticket on the bug tracker and attach a saved game close to where the issue occurs?
