Description
[using latest cvs build (win32) with simon1dos english version]
the game freezes when you're talking to the demons at 2 points. 1. right after starting the conversation if you say "Well, you look like demons! Ha Ha.. Ha?" one of the demons starts to talk and the game freezes when he says "fluttered" 2. if you take the first dialogue option instead at the beginning of the conversation the first bug won't occur. after talking a bit one of the demons will ask for smokes though and regardless of what you say the game will freeze.
savegame is attached

I had an endless loop when talking to the barbian with the fragment in the foot. At one situation the barbarien talky was through, but the mouth keeped moving forever. After restarting the game I was not able to reproduce the effect, though.
Is your freeze the same thing? Mouth still moving, but the rest is frozen? Or is everything frozen?

actually it's the exact opposite .. the mouth stops moving, but the candles in the background for example keep on moving

I am having the exact same problem and have no idea how to fix it!! If you figure it out, let me know

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?? I don't think there is a way to advance any further in the game without finishing talking to the demons, which doesn't help if it crashes every time.
Thanks

This looks like a race. When adding output statements to o_wait_for_vga and the function that clears the _wait_for_vga flag:
waiting for VGA 200 VGA 202 done VGA 200 done waiting for VGA 200 done waiting for VGA 202
It _is_ possible to get past it, since every once in a while these vga's will finish in the proper order.

Leaving open since it is still an issue, although only causes brief freeze now.

There is also a brief freeze when the Swampling leaves his house in simon1dos, just as Simon is about to talk.

The freese is beacuse the interpreter waits for an animation to end, while it ended before. Would it be a way to implement additional checks for animations?
The problems is with wait_for_vga. If a workaround will be implemented, then it would be neccessary to implement a dynamic table, which contains boolean var wether the animation runs or not. In that case the wait_for_vga would check in the beginning if it really has to wait or not.
