MYST3: DVD Version Fails To Detect

[snoble925]

The game in 'Exile DVD' seems to be an unknown game variant.

Please report the following data to the ScummVM team at https://bugs.scummvm.org/ along with the name of the game you tried to add and its version, language, etc.:

Matched game IDs for the myst3 engine: myst3-win

{"ENGLISH.m3t", 0, "74726de866c0594d3f2a05ff754c973d", 3407120},

Based on the recent discussion on Discord, this is very likely an issue of missing the language file, renamed and copied in the "M3Data/TEXT" subfolder under your game data folder.

The wiki instructions here mention this for the DVD release:

However, you must choose the language of the menus by copying the appropriate files. Copy the menu language file from your chosen language directory on the disc. On the DVD, the menu language file can be named language.m3u or [LANGUAGE].m3u depending on the release. It should be copied to the M3Data/TEXT directory. If the file is named language.m3u, it should be renamed to the explicit language e.g. ENGLISH.m3u for English.

I think this bug can be closed. It's a duplicate of
14513, 13979, 13945 ... etcetera
By the way, there's also 13039 which is currently open but it's still the same thing

Maybe it would make sense to open a feature request "Support original Myst3 DVD file layout" or something similar, to keep track of this "issue"
