AGS: Whispers of a Machine crashes on Day 3

[noblonski]

hello,

this happens on ios & windows.
after trying to grab the scarf and the pole breaks on day 3, the game crashes.

Assertion failed: _spriteData[sprnum].IsAssetSprite(), file /data/src/engines/ags/shared/ac/sprite_cache.cpp, line 241

Thanks for the report. This game uses a fork of the AGS engine, which most likely does not include these sanity checks.
This is not a recent regression, probably the culprit is this commit
​https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/fad62e8cef33f52be6502b7e3499631c0a712348
but it was not noticed till now because Whispers of a Machine had other issues (and nobody played it this far)

I'll do some tests and eventually open a bugreport on their tracker

Could you provide a save please?
If you didn't use the scummvm menu, this game autosaves in slots 100-104 so saves should be named whispersofamachine.10[0-4]

hello,

here are the save files. the load function only appears after selecting start game.
simply go to the right and pick up the scarf. after the cutscene the game crashes.

Closing this one. Still need a couple more playthroughs for the game but this specific bug should be fixed
