AGS version: ScummVM VS. v3.3.4.2 (original ags version)

Describe the bug:
Both with an older version of Gemini Rue (AGS v3.2.1) and with the game I Can't Sleep In Silence, the ags_snowrain plugin does not work properly. And what I mean by that is that way too little rain falls compared to the original game. If you start both in parallel, you will immediately see what I mean. There are far too few raindrops, as if it were only drizzling in ScummVM.

Please could you clarify the ScummVM version you are testing with, and on what platform?

I do recall that we didn't support this plugin so the developer implemented an update which would be compatible with ScummVM. This was back in June '22. I don't recall which was the Gemini Rue version at the time though.

Does the latest version of Gemini Rue (compiled with AGS 3.6.0.50, as far as I know) work ok wrt the rain? (looks ok in my tests)

The steam version of Gemini seems to be fine. Like I said, it's v3.2.1 that has this issue and that’s a problem, since the German version is only available in this old version. As far as I know, the new rain implementation of Gemini Rue has little to do with the old one. But as I said, this isn’t the only game. There are quiet a few. "I Can’t Sleep In Silence" has the same issue, you can load the game by clicking on the link. The thing is, it’s not that it doesn’t work at all, but that too little rain is generated.
