SCUMM: Subtitles are not shown anymore in some games

[mikrosk]

I have noticed an odd thing -- some games do not show subtitles anymore. Usually I have "both" under audio options (i.e. speech and subtitles) and this doesn't work anymore.

I've tested two (three) games:

• Full Throttle demo - issue present (works fine with 2.6.1)
• Full Throttle full - issue not present
• COMI full - issue present (works fine with 2.6.1)

Tested on latest 2.8 master.

Roger that! Could you tell me more about your system and OS, so that I can try to replicate your setup as closely as possible?

Could you also attach your scummvm.ini file?

Just classic ./configure --disable-16bit on Linux && make dist-generic and running scummvm from ./dist-generic/scummvm.

I also tried to remove scummvm.ini from ~/.config/scummvm and re-enable the "both" option again, no change. So I don't think it is related to the ini file but I can attach later it if you like.

My Arch Linux distro offers scummvm-2.6.1 executable so my other tests were done with this version.

I'm having a hard time reproducing this. Could you please make a list of actions which can reliably reproduce the issue? (any of those games is fine, I have them all)

Sure:

• download & depack ​https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/demos/scumm/ft-dos-demo-en.zip
• rm -rf ~/.config/scummvm
• git clone (current master is 528d7477e826c384ef660a17d343b28423023b50)
• ./configure --disable-16bit && make -j 16 && make dist-generic && cd dist-generic
• ./scummvm
• Global options -> audio -> Both
• Add FT Demo, run, press esc to skip to the speech part
• watch how it doesn't show any subtitles :)
• run scummvm-2.6.1 (with the same config!) (in my case from my Arch Linux package), watch visible subtitles

Thanks, I submitted a candidate fix to master. Could you please let me know if it works correctly now?

[mikrosk]

Much better! Tested both COMI and FT-Demo, both work well now.

Thanks! Closing
