Simon The Sourcerer and Debugger?!??!

Post by hevva_l »

I have this issue, that everytime i get to the specific 'rock' or 'woodcutter' that Simon the Sorcerer chucks me out and staes that a debugger kicked in. I don't believe that coincidently the rock initiates the debugger. Or does it? It gives me option to continue, but by then its already frozen up the game, and i wish i'd saved. :shock:

Help me? Anyone? :oops:

Any idea?

it should also give you a nice error message when it pops open the debugger; often also happens if the datafiles are faulty, maybe check if they're copied correctly if you have the CD version

It would also help to know which version of ScummVM you are using. If you are using a stable release, it should work. The development version... there have been a lot of changes and cleanups to the Simon engine in order to support The Feeble Files so it's quite possible that there are regressions.

As clem said, you could try re-copying the data files from the original media. A surprising number of bug reports turn out to be corrupted data files. If the problem persists, you should use the ScummVM bug tracker to file bug report.
