King’s Quest Retold freezing under ScummVM 2.9.0

Post by Grzechn »

Hello guys and girls. I am utterly enthusiastic about the ScummVM port being available in the AppStore, but the latest release has made it impossible to play one of my favourite games - namely King’s Quest IV Retold. :(

When Rosella delivers the Unicorn to Lolotte as soon as the henchmen have grabbed them to carry both to the castle, the game freezes completely. It happens just before the transition to Lolotte’s throneroom.

I have tried to play the game on all the hendheld devices that I have (2 iphones and 1 ipad) with the same result. The situation is definitely related to the newest ScummVM release. I heard from my friend that the same thing happens on the Android port. The official ScummVM release under Windows is free of this error though. Earlier versions of ScummVM on jailbroken devices also make it possible to play through the entire game.

The problem is that you cannot get back to the earlier version of ScummVM without jailbraking the phone and losing the warranty.

Please help me out, anyone! I’d really appreciate if you took this error into consideration before the next release.
