To process your bug report appropriately, we need you to provide the following additional information:

* ScummVM version (PLEASE test the latest SVN/Daily build) * Bug details, including instructions on reproducing it * Language of game (English, German, ...) * Version of game (talkie, floppy, ...) * Platform and Compiler (Win32, Linux, MacOS, ...) * Attach a save game if possible * If this bug only occurred recently, please note the last version without the bug, and the first version including the bug. That way we can fix it quicker by looking at the changes made.

This should only take you a little time but will make it much easier for us to process your bug report in a way that satisfies both you and us.

Thank you for your support!

We can't do anything without that info - see http://www.scummvm.org/faq/#5_6

* ScummVM version (PLEASE test the latest SVN/Daily build)

I stated the SVN version I'm using. It's at the very beginning of the summary. 1.2.0svn52122. Everything else I posted on the ScummVM forums in the SCI beta test thread like everyone else is doing.

* Bug details, including instructions on reproducing it

How do you reproduce it? Just try launching the game.

* Language of game (English, German, ...) * Version of game (talkie, floppy, ...) * Platform and Compiler (Win32, Linux, MacOS, ...)

Again, I said all this on the ScummVM forums where it was asked for but I'll give it all here again:

English Police Quest III: The Kindred - EGA/Floppy/DOS Win32 XP SP3

* Attach a save game if possible

The game won't even launch.

* If this bug only occurred recently, please note the last version without the bug, and the first version including the bug. That way we can fix it quicker by looking at the changes made.

I've only tried it on the latest build revision (52122).

Here's the console output:

User picked target 'pq3-1' (gameid 'sci')... Looking for a plugin supporting this gameid... SCI Engine [SCI0, SCI01, SCI10, SCI11] Starting 'Sierra SCI Game' The game in 'G:\Games\Adventures\Sierra\PQCOL\PQ3EGA\' seems to be unknown. Please, report the following data to the ScummVM team along with name of the game you tried to add and its version/language/etc.: "resource.002", "fc9452f962bd7a9bbf6e78e9e52a8e18", 692676 "resource.003", "31c226bf01b69c8182b8ca0e8760b0a7", 527848 "resource.000", "7659713720d61d9465a59091b7ee63ea", 402208 "resource.001", "0284ca44341fbc3cb7a047e49d230234", 703373 "resource.map", "1341f7c9643947414a8e238b88f68d82", 5901 "resource.004", "b96a86ab681769e4cbb439670d967ca6", 449682 "resource.005", "9e6c53a0e7eef53694d260fade8b1fc7", 724000

Though, it detects it as the EGA version of PQ3 so I don't know why it's discovering "unknown" resources here...

Actually, a lot of the SCI games I've tried give the message "This game seems to be unknown, please report the following data...etc etc" even though ScummVM properly detects what game and version it is...

This was a problem with a change introduced in the fallback detector, which has been fixed in rev #52163

Also added this version to our detection tables (rev #52166)
