Description
Tested on ScummVM 2.10.0git (Aug 9 2025 04:23:51) [Windows x64, Daily Build]
I tried running the Swedish Windows version of Konrad & Nobelmysteriet (from 1997) in ScummVM using the Director engine. The game is detected as director-win-fallback, but when launching it, ScummVM immediately throws this error:
ERROR: Cast::loadCastData: unsupported Director version (1223)!
The status window also reports:
WARNING: Movie is from later version v600!
Switching to Director v600
Cast::loadCastData: unsupported Director version (1223)!
I tested with the latest daily build (2.10.0git, Aug 9 2025) and also stable 2.9.1, with the same result.
The game’s files are intact and include .DXR and .CXT assets, plus the main executable (Start32.exe).
Steps to reproduce:
Extract the game files from the original media.
In ScummVM, add the game by pointing to the root folder.
Launch the game.
Observe the immediate crash with the unsupported Director version message.
Let me know if you need a file listing, checksums, or the game’s executable for debugging.

Replying to tag2015:
Hi, thanks for the report.
This is not really a bug, as ScummVM reports, this game uses version 6 of Director which is not supported.
We currently have support for some Director 3-4 games and preliminary support for Director 5.
Director 6 support will come eventually, but it will take some time.
Anyway, I added detection for this game so at least it won't be only detected as fallback
Ahh, that's perfectly fair. thank you for the response!
if you want me to close this ticket, I shall do so (I did not know where to "report" it, if I even should've haha)
