This is just the new version of KQ1VGA 4.2 RC1 English; doesn't run in Scummvm 2.9.0, just seems to be a newer iteration of AGS, I'm just reporting the new version cause ScummVM said to, and I usually do whatever it says lol. Thanks!

To give more info on the error of that ScummVM throws when attempting to run the game (after it's added in fallback mode).

For ScummVM 2.8.1 the error is:

Loading game failed with error:

Game was compiled with 3.6.136. Required format version: 3060114, supported 18 - 3060021.

The game files may be incomplete, corrupt or from unsupported version of AGS.

For ScummVM 2.9.0 (local dev build from today's master HEAD) the error is:

ERROR: Unable to determine game data. Provided game location is not a valid path.
