Downloaded the UK version of Dreamweb. Initially it crashed right after the intro sequence but before the opening credits. I changed the aspect ratio and then changed the graphics mode to 2x. After that, it now crashes aftetr the opening credits. Keeps happening no matter what I do.
I'm using Mac OS and this happens with both the UK and US versions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
Also, thanks for uploading Dreamweb int he first place!
Out of curiosity, is this when running ScummVM in fullscreen or windowed mode? (The game changes resolution back and forth a few times during the intro.)

Both. All the problems I described above happened in fullscreen mode. Then just now I tried unchecking full screen mode. Tried with/without aspect ratio correction on/off and graphics mode 2x/3x. Same thing.
Once the word DREAMWEB appears after all the credits, ScummVM just shuts down.
There was some discussion on the ScummVM IRC channel yesterday, but unfortunately no solution yet. Apparently the one who tried it could only reproduce the crash with the official ScummVM build, not the one he built for himself. Which of course makes debugging that much harder.
The bug comments track our current investigation. However, this seems only to be happening with the v1.5.0 release build, so a workaround in the meantime would be for you to use the v1.6.0git development nightly builds for OSX from here: http://buildbot.scummvm.org/builds.html
If this works, then please confirm here. Also, if this also crashes, then it would be useful to get a gdb backtrace or similar. As the bug indicates, we have been unable to get a backtrace from a build with debug symbols exhibiting the problem. Thanks.
somnolentsurfer: Thank you for reporting this.. Sigh. I will update the bug... It looks like the LLVM compiler being used by the porter has some kind of nasty bug and we need to avoid this and/or switch to a less buggy compiler.
