KQ6 - Black Widow Lockup

Post by El Ravager »

Hi all,

I'm running into a strange glitch that I've never encountered before. Just after pulling the spiderweb thread, taking the parchment, and watching it blow away, my game completely freezes. The cursor is stuck as as a crown, and although I can move it around the screen and access the options menu, it refuses to be changed into any other function cursor. I am running the Windows version of Kq6 via ScummVM.

Any thoughts?

I am not seeing anything missing. If you can zip your save games (kq6-win.0*) and attach them here, I take a look.

Here you are. I have the game advanced to the appropriate spot in save game #6, entitled "Bug." Many thanks!

It looks like a problem with ScummVM 1.5. Try up grading it with a daily build

http://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily

Just install it on top of the old (C:\Program Files (x86)\ScummVM).

The next version of ScummVM will be released, soon. After it does, I'll update the installer.
