When will Escape from Monkey Island supported

[venom_INC]

Hi,
I would like to play the game in better resolution and with OpenGL. It is recognized under SCUMMVM, but the program does not find a module for it. I would like to know if or when the game be supported in the near future?

I played through the whole of Escape using ScummVM a while ago. Don't know if you have the same issue but this solved it for me:

In Global Options > Paths, make sure that Extra Path is set to the ScummVM directory with the monkey4-patch.m4b file (i.e. path/to/dists/engine-data/ if built from Git, or path/to/scummvm/data/ if using the Debian .tar.xz build).

We do not know. Nobody is working on the engine.

Given you played through the whole game, what was the experience like - is it essentially playable and completable without missing any major features, or any show-stopper issues such as frequent crashes?

There were a few graphical glitches but I got all the way through without any major problems. It was certainly playable even though I tried to find bugs as I went.

That's good to hear. Although development of the engine appears to have stopped .. which is a shame given how close to "ready" this appear to be.

In the meantime, there is always the DREAMM engine to consider.

Wait, what? Escape from Monkey Island is actually already playable through ScummVM with this adjustment

I had a similar prob with SCUMMVM before. What worked for me was tinkering with the settings a bit. Try checking the SCUMMVM forums or maybe their Discord for updates on game support.
