GROOVIE: Clandestiny final cutscene crashes

[antoniou79]

This is tested with ScummVM 2.9git, build from current master HEAD, on Windows (release mode).

The game version I'm testing with is the one from MacAppStore.

After solving the final riddle (prophecy), the final cutscene starts playing.

At a certain point, the dragon breathes fire on Andrew and says something like "Burn" (?) and ScummVM crashes.

The console output at that point reads:

My CLANMAIN.GRV file's MD5 hash (full file) and file size match the ones reported here: ​https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Groovie/Checksums&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop
so I don't think it's a case of a corrupted file.

Note, the final cutscene can be skipped with right click, in which case the game goes to the credits sequence, without crashing.

[antoniou79]

The attached save file is from just before the final puzzle. You'll need to re-arrange the heads to solve the puzzle to proceed to the final cutscene.

The crash also happens for me, with ScummVM 2.8.1 (Windows)

[RoboSpongie]

I'm getting the same crash as well as soon as the dragon says burn

Playing on the stable release ScummVM 2.8.1 (Windows)

Does this only happen with the Macintosh version of the game? (I have the Windows version, I just haven't had the patience to play it.)

[antoniou79]

I only have the MacAppStore version, so I cannot test for the Windows one.

Maybe the saved game I attached is also compatible with the Windows version?

[eriktorbjorn]

You're right, the savegame does work with the Windows version, and the cutscene crashes with the same warning message.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the ROQ video codec. I can see that the playback seems to follow a steady pattern, though. Using the names in the code comments:

• Container chunk (0x1030)
• Stereo sound samples (0x1021)
• Quad vector quantised video frame (0x1011)
• Quad codebook definition (0x1002)

Repeated over and over. And since it doesn't deviate from that pattern, maybe the error is local to the "Quad codebook definition" chunk handling?

[eriktorbjorn]

One thing perhaps out of the ordinary was that the number of entries in the final Quad codebook definition chunk was much smaller than in the ones that came right before it.
