Crash in Alpinia

[danifs25]

Game crashes just after taking the snowman potion and try to go to climb the mountain.

Attached small video and game save.

No video can be attached due to file size limitations. Apologies.

I was able to load the savegame, but it's been so long since I played the game that I couldn't figure out how to make it crash. I'll try again later with a walkthrough.

Would it be possible to re-encode the video at lower quality to make it smaller?

I've played from that savegame to getting to the rainbow machine in the Mystic's cabin twice. Once normally, and once using the Valgrind memory debugger. I saw no crash.

Of course, there are a few different configurations that may be relevant. I was using The FluidSynth MIDI driver, for instance.

I did get a couple of warnings like this when quitting the game. Obviously not good, but not related to this crash either:

I was able to reencode the video and I have attached it here now.

To reproduce the issue, just take the potion and go down the icy mountain, don't go inside the hunter's cabin.

Also, I should mention that I'm using the GOG version of the game, and SCUMM version 2.8.1 on MACos 12.7.5, in case it makes any difference.

[eriktorbjorn]

Thanks, now I can reproduce it too. (When you wrote "taking the snowman potion", I read that as picking it up.)

[athrxx]

I have made a fix. Could you please check if it works for you?

[danifs25]

That worked!

Thanks,
