NANCY: Awkward load via GMM

Reported by: tunnelsociety Owned by: Filippos Karapetis <bluegr@…>
Priority: normal Component: Engine: Nancy
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel

Description

In the Nancy Main Menu, load a save via the GMM (Ctrl+F5 > Load). You will find yourself still in the Nancy Main Menu, but the music has cut; clicking Continue Game, you arrive at the intended loaded game. Expected to go directly into game, like via the native Nancy menu, and like loading via GMM in other games e.g. Freddi Fish.

Sorry, not fixed with ScummVM 2026.2.1git4140-gf901a2fc9e3 (Apr 30 2026 17:29:19)

(I now have b10ffc5ad50fc067ddb11cad5313c847b85cdf38 in git log engines/nancy but the behaviour of this bug continues. Let me know if I should provide more debug info.)

That worked! But unfortunately it leaves a graphical glitch: the third-from-last save name gets stuck on the kScene UI. (It is the only name which falls on the teal UI frame, rather than in the viewport or conversation box.)

Maybe some surface needs clearing or something? I tried but couldn't figure out what logic the native Nancy menu uses to load a game, so I don't know the differences!

That's loading via GMM while in the Nancy load/save menu.

Other glitches from other places: for example, from Game Setup, it leaves the radio option dots, LOL
