No text in Escape from Monkey Island (2.7.0git)

Post by Rosstifer1712 »

Not sure if this is happened for anyone else but since I installed the recent 2.7.0git development build, there appears to be no text showing during gameplay of EFMI, no speech text or when you're looking at items or even when you press F1 theres no text in the main menu

Any ideas why this is happening?

On which platform are you having this problem? Windows 10?

I can confirm this issue with current development build for 2.7.0git and a local build from master HEAD.

This is possibly a regression(?) since checking with an older daily build (from June 20, 2022) the text displays correctly.

It works for me with the "OpenGL" renderer. Only "OpenGL with shaders" appears to be broken?

Yes, I can confirm this as well. "OpenGL" and "Software" renderer both show text. The only one with the issue is "OpenGL with shaders".

And just to clarify, on the old 2.7.0git that I have (from June 20th), all of the render modes show text properly.

I just changed it to OpenGL on Game 3D Renderer and it works as it was originally on default, when it is set to default or OpenGL with Shaders the text doesn't appear.

Apparently it affects Grim Fandango too. Fortunately 2.6 seems unaffected.

This should be fixed now with latest master.
Next daily build will include the patch.
