[stephanM92]

Hi,

Since SCUMMVM version 2.7.1.0, BROKEN SWORD 1 (french version) does not work anymore. The same folder game is working well under SCUMVM 2.6.1.0

Issues detected on PC (version 2.7.1.0 and 2.8.0.0) and ANDROID (2.8.0.0 version tablet SAMSUNG S9 ARM)

Error message:
The game in 'LES CHEVALIERS DE BAPHOMET 1 -FR' 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.:

Hi! Can you please provide the full file list for this version (including folders, subfolders, etc)?

What's the source of this version? CDs? GOG? Steam?

[AndywinXp]

Hey hey? :-) We're still in time to fix this for 2.8.1.

I think it is a cd version of the game, but not sure,
thank you

[AndywinXp]

Hi. Where did you get this version?

[kbdl21]

I have had this version a long time ago on my pc.

[AndywinXp]

Did you download it from somewhere?

[kbdl21]

No, as I remember, those are the files that were on my pc.

[AndywinXp]

Well, if I don't know where it comes from and what edition is that (since it looks heavily modified) I'm afraid I can't help you with that.

[kbdl21]

Ok, no problem, I think the bug in version 2.8.1 of scummvm will be fixed one day, the game works perfectly on version 2.5.
Thanks you for your answer

[AndywinXp]

Thanks for your inquiry :-)
It's not a bug, the detection system was heavily reworked because there were too many pirated Frankenstein-ed versions floating around the web ;-)

[kbdl21]

Ok, I understand, that's a good thing.
