#5190 KQ5CD: Random crashes when loading and saving
I'm playing through KQ5CD, and experiencing random crashes when saving and restoring. This is the console log after one crash:

Discussion
the whole warning log has nothing to do with it. Please find out when it's crashing, so that i can reproduce it. Does it crash when both saving AND loading?
Yes, when both loading and saving within the game. I click on the restore or save option in the restore or save screen, and ScummVM freezes. The crash is a complete lock-up, where ScummVM stops responding and has to be terminated with the task manager. The only other place that something similar happens is in the witch's castle, when Graham reaches it before killing her. I was using the MT-32 emulator while doing my playthrough, don't know if it has something to do with the problem. It's a bit hard to reproduce it, since it's so random. While I was playing, I tried to kill Graham as much as I could, to test all the death sequences, so I was saving and restoring a lot! :)
that's strange. There is a known issue where ScummVM gets a deadlock when restoring. But i have never experienced this happening when saving.
Do you mean when actually saving/restoring or when going to the save/restore menu?
Well, the lock-up happens after clicking on the restore or save button (either on the top menu, or in the options box that come after Graham dies). I don't remember if it produced corrupt saves... I don't think so.
Now that the GUI is completely replaced by ScummVM, it doesn't happen anymore. I guess this can be closed then...
The lockup at the screen of the witch's house, before killing her is a separate issue.
Anyway, closing as requested
