Loads of errors in one report. Not good...

Anyway, let's take them one by one: - The first warning means that you got an unknown version of the game. Is that EGA or VGA? - Checkers/Pachisi crash when exiting to menu: not fixed yet, not sure what's wrong - Dominoes crash: couldn't reproduce it. Can you try again? - Pachisi crash when starting: fixed

So we're essentially left with the crash when exiting to the menu from Checkers/Pachisi, from what I can tell.

In the future, please file bug reports separately, as it's impossible to handle them effectively like this.

comment:5 by SF/eddydrama, 14 years ago

I will report bugs in separate reports in the future. I am sorry.

-I have the VGA version.

-Dominoes crash happened again, when starting the game. Same bugreport.

This time I used version 1.2.0svn52318

- The version reported has been added - Regarding the dominoes crash: delete all the *.opt (options) files in the game folder and inside ScummVM's save game folder (they're named hoyle3*.opt there), it looks like you got a corrupted *.opt file - Regarding the error thrown when exiting checkers and pachisi: this happens when disposing scripts 200 (checkers) and 400 (pachisi) respectively, a reference to an object of script 0 is erroneously removed. Seems like a bug with our script unloading code

Please retest...

Raising priority to 9, this is a release critical bug

Put in a temporary fix for this that should suffice for the release. Will need to take a look at the cause later. A few notes:

* the global variables are reset during a ScriptID(975) call * I can make the issue disappear by single-stepping through that call * script.000 should never be unloaded since the game object (whose lifetime should be the entire execution) lives there. * locker counts on script.000 fluxes wildly

comment:17 by bluegr, 14 years ago

OK, I'm closing this then. Here's the situation: - The crash when exiting dominoes/checkers has been fixed (that's the lookupSelector error) - a workaround is in place for this, but it'll do for now - The version reported has been added - The warnings have been silenced (false positives) - The crash with dominoes is caused by a corrupt *.opt file, which has been fixed since then, but the corrupt file needs to be deleted - The pachisi crash has been fixed

Therefore, I'm closing this. If you experience any other issues, please file them separately
