Description
I am trying to run Might and Magic: Darkside of Xeen.
However when trying to start the game I just get an error message:
"ERROR: Could not open file - CONSTANTS_4!"
---
Additional Information:
Game is the german disk version. ScummVM version is 2.5.0. The game runs properly in DOSBOX. The game is not merged with Clouds of Xeen. ScummVM is being run on Windows 10. Note that I get a message that the game is not fully supported by ScummVM when trying to start. When clicking "run anyway" I get the error message above and the debugger starts automatically. When I type "exit" inside the debugger the game is stopped.

This is the output when running the game with "debuglevel=10":

Debugger started, type 'exit' to return to the game.
Type 'help' to see a little list of commands and variables.

Thank you, it is working with the daily build.
However several texts inside the game are in english, even I have the german version of "Darkside of xeen". Is this a known issue? Does it make sense to create a new bug ticket (or feature request) for this?

Yes, please create a new bugreport with the list of untranslated screens, preferably with the screenshots and savefile.
Thank you!
This is likely the same issue as noted here:

v2.5.0 shipped with a xeen.ccs file which doesn't work with the GOG version. You can rebuild this file using the devtools, use a daily build or wait for v2.5.1...
