SCI: PHANT1: Loading Cancelled Chase Save Causes Crash

Reported by: dafioram Owned by: sluicebox
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCI
Version: Keywords: sci32
Cc: Game: Phantasmagoria 1

Description

Tester OS: Win7-64
ScummVM: 1.10.0git-3986-gc3f8f1a
Game: Phant1 GOG CD/DOS 1.000.001UK English

You get a chasedun.dat file from starting the chase sequence (which creates a chase.dat) and quiting (it changes it to chasedun.dat). After this the original saved game is no longer available, but you can continue the chase by clicking the Watch Movie button at the bottom.

If you delete the chasedun.dat the saved game now reappears under the continue game options, but if you load that saved game scummvm will crash.

This error is also reproducible in DOSBOX.

I fixed this a few years ago in 88b5c802d538e5749a799b2958b7ecd473e5ea36 so that the chase files aren't placed in a state that messes things up if you quit ScummVM (or it crashes) during the chase. Didn't know there was a ticket!
