Version 2.7.1

Here is a crash report from Google Play console:

From disassembly, it looks like the crash happens in engines/scumm/saveload.cpp at line 2031:

_16BitPalette[i] = get16BitColor(_currentPalette[i * 3 + 0], _currentPalette[i * 3 + 1], _currentPalette[i * 3 + 2]);

It seems _16BitPalette is not initialized correctly as it happens when storing the result of get16BitColor call.

I had a quick look at this:

Since we arrived at go() via run(), init() must have completed without errors (see Scumm::ScummEngine::run() in engines/scumm/scumm.h).

This means init() called Scumm::ScummEngine::resetScumm() (all the overridden resetScumm() methods eventually call this one), which has this code:

#ifdef USE_RGB_COLOR
	if (_game.features & GF_16BIT_COLOR
#ifndef DISABLE_TOWNS_DUAL_LAYER_MODE
		|| (_game.platform == Common::kPlatformFMTowns)
#endif
		)
		_16BitPalette = (uint16 *)calloc(512, sizeof(uint16));
#endif

_16BitPalette only ever gets free'd in ScummEngine::~ScummEngine().

According to the report the crash then occurs in engines/scumm/saveload.cpp:
in void ScummEngine_v5::saveLoadWithSerializer(Common::Serializer &s):

	// Regenerate 16bit palette after loading.
	// This avoids color issues when loading savegames that have been saved with a different ScummVM port
	// that uses a different 16bit color mode than the ScummVM port which is currently used.
#ifdef USE_RGB_COLOR
	if (_game.platform == Common::kPlatformPCEngine && s.isLoading()) {
		for (int i = 0; i < 256; ++i)
			_16BitPalette[i] = get16BitColor(_currentPalette[i * 3 + 0], _currentPalette[i * 3 + 1], _currentPalette[i * 3 + 2]);
	}
#endif

Apart from a genuine calloc() failure or the pointer getting clobbered somehow, the only way I can see this crashing is having platform set to Common::kPlatformPCEngine but feature GF_16BIT_COLOR unset (which would skip the allocation).

Since the only entry in the detection table that sets platform to kPlatformPCEngine is Loom PCE, which has GF_16BIT_COLOR, perhaps platform was overridden by the user.

I tested this by adding SOMI CD/DOS/English and then changing platform to PC-Engine in the ScummVM game options. Loading a save from the launcher with this leads to a backtrace matching the one reported.

If this is the cause of the crash, it still exists in current master (e510f0868ea2e2f7fdd724ed3c14104ca7da0851). The following diff fixes it (but running a game in such a configuration will of course still cause all kinds of problems):

I attempted a fix on the master branch. The issue is gone for me, let me know how it goes for you...

comment:5 by lotharsm, 11 months ago

Any idea if https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/10427 is related to this and if we are lucky enough to have a fix for both reports at the same?

Just asking because both bugs are marked as blockers. 😁

comment:6 by AndywinXp, 11 months ago

Heh, that one is one I could never ever ever reproduce... 😁

Still, I can confidently say that the resolution of this ticket is not related to the one you mentioned!

This bug comes from Google Play, so let's assume it's fixed.
