Stairs in Maniac Mansion Mania games

Post by BennSimonn »

So some Maniac Mansion Mania games run perfectly with ScummVM but I've noticed in many of them, it is impossible to go downstairs in the Bernoulli family's house when playing with ScummVM. Has anyone else experienced this?

Haven't tested the episode 7 bug, but the staircase issue is widely known. The staircase is not really unusable, but due to a problem in pathfinding, very often it won't detect the "room change".
See

and

It's also mentioned on our wiki https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?titl ... ania_games

Yeah I was eventually able to get the stairs to work but it was a pain

Also I realized the episode 7 glitch isn’t exclusive to ScummVM. It crashes at the same moment when I play without ScummVM
