Description
After launching MI2, scummvm exits without error message. The moment of the crash is not always the same. Problem first occurred for me in version 0.5.0. (Win32) Linux version doesn't have this problem. Scummvm version : 0.50 Game : Monkey Island 2 English Platform : win32 - Windows ME

Yes, the application vanishes completely. May be the same as reported in 782451

Are you running ScummVM such that your console will remain visible after the program exits? For instance, if you run scummvm.exe from the Start/Run dialog, when it exits the console will very likely disappear as well. Try opening a command prompt manually and running ScummVM from within it -- that way, even if ScummVM bombs the command prompt (and ScummVM console output) should still be visible.
Also, what music driver are you using? -ewindows? Try running with -eadlib or -enull to make sure the problem isn't related to the music driver.

I tried running ScummVM from the command prompt, and it didn't show any extra messages : "C:\>scummvm Using joystick: Microsoft PC-joystick driver Looking for monkey2 Trying to start game 'Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's revenge' C:\>" I also tried the same with Indiana Jones & Fate of Atlantis, with the same result : ScummVM exits after a few seconds, so I suppose it's the same problem as reported in 782451.

Yes, that's it : when I removed the joystick driver and tried again, the problem was gone. Thanks. Joystick is an old gravis gamepad :-)

I have to wonder if we shouldn't just completely remove that joystick code, or at least disable it by default. I hear a lot about problems with it (crashes, mouse moves around due to uncalibrated joystick), but no reports at all about people actually using it. Ender?

I agree that it should be least be optional. Likewise, I think the Keyboard-mouse emulation code should be optional.
khalek, could you please do this for at least the joystick code?
comment:15 by , 21 years ago
I'll close this, as it's not a bug in MI2. But we need to think about the Joystick code.

Doest it really crash? When you say "without error", do you mean it doesn't print any errors to the console, or that it doesn't show an error dialog?
