I just played the game for the first time in my life using the current latest version of ScummVM v2.8.0

Completed the game fully and I too saw these errors during my playthrough.

User picked target 'tlj-win' (engine ID 'stark', game ID 'tlj')...

Looking for a plugin supporting this target... Stark

The game fully crashed for me only twice during the entire playthrough. Sadly I forgot to check the logs when the full crash happened.

I've opened a PR with a potential fix for the sounds not loading for the Steam version of the game:
https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/5632

The sounds load fine on the GOG version, but on Steam they are compressed with ogg Vorbis (as are other sound resources). However, the ScummVM Stark engine, did not take into account this particular file extension (.ssn) when checking whether the requested sound resources could be ogg Vorbis (.ovs) files.

If other sounds are not loading (non ssn files) please specify, and provide a saved game that showcases the issue.

Re: any other crashes; they should be reported as a separate ticket, with more specific details (when/if available).
