BACKENDS: Android - SCUMMVM 2.0 systematical crash on SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB A with LUCASARTS games

[stephanM92]

Impossible to start any LUCASARTS games on SCUMMVM v2.0 an GALAXY TABLET A6

Tablette : Samsung Galaxy tab A6
Android v7.0 with kernel 3.18.14 (non rooted)
Game presnents on external SD card

Systematically crash with the following tested games :
PC version : Day of the tentacle, Full Throttle (French version), Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis (French version), Sam & Max (French version), Monkey Island 1 & 2 (French version), Loom (French and English version), Maniac Mansion (French and English version)
AMIGA version : Maniac Mansion (French and English version).
Games came from original supports and work perfectly with SCUMMVM v1.9 on another tablet Android v4

The following games have been tested and seem to work fine :
PC Version: Gabriel Knight 1 & 2 (French version), Legend of Kyrianda 1, 2 and 3 (French version), Lands Of Lore (French version), Leisure Suit Larry 6 (English version), Broken Sword 1 & 2 (French version), Phantasmagoria (French version), the 7th Guest (English version), Simon the sorcerer 1 &2 (French version)
AMIGA version : Elvira 1 & 2 (French and English version)

I have subscribed to be Beta tester on Play Store.
I am ready to perform additional tests if required.

I am able to play loom cd english on my v8.1 phone. At what point does scummvm crash? If you try to add the game does it says no game is detected?

[stephanM92]

SCUMMVM v2.0 starts correctly.
All games I have listed on my previous post are correctly detected by scummvm and are displayed on its list.

But starting the listed LucasArts games crash systematically the application.

The others games start and run properly.

Friends of mine have devices with Android v7 and LucasArts games seems to work.
So I am wondering if the issue could be in relation with Samsung devices (or just with Galaxy Tabs).

[stephanM92]

After many tests, I think to have identified the issue, and I am able to systematically reproduce the issue and also to workaround it:

LucasArts games do not start as soon I switch the SCUMMVM GUI in French (I didn't try with other languages).
As soon I switch back the GUI with the default option (in english for instance), all games (LucasArts and other games) work perfectly.

I can not explain :

• why I have this issue on SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB A6 an S3 only, when SONY Xperia smartphone and ACER ICONIA Tab do not have this issue.
• why only LucasArts games where impacted when the other games was working correctly when I turn on the french translation.

If someone have any idea ?

Does the current version have this issue?

Could you please check if the issue still persists? Since this is quite a severe bug, it would be great to know if this is already solved since the last feedback is a couple of months old.

[stephanM92]

Hi,

Sorry for the delay of my answer.
I have downloaded the last version from the store a couple weeks ago.
And the issue is fixed. Games can be correctly started.

Thanks
