#6806 SCI: QFG3: Dialog Crash about Leopard women's marriage.

[Kasey Norman]

Unable to continue on dialog path as it causes ScummVM to completely crash. On current build 1.7.0 Upon loading the save talk to Uhura And select the dialog option "Woo" and it will immediately crash. with a signature mismatch error.

[Willem Jan Palenstijn]

I can reproduce that from the savegame:

parameter 0: 0000:0005 (integer), should be null, integer
parameter 1: 033d:01a0 (reference, invalid), may be any (optional) (more may follow)
[VM] kMemory[72]: signature mismatch via method ::export 6 (room 440, script 999, localCall 0xffffffff)!

I haven't investigated why that patch isn't working here yet.

This should be fixed now; thanks for the report.

This was a script bug in the original game, which we have fixed in the past, but it turns out that the GOG version of QfG3 (which I assume you're using), has a slightly different version of the faulty script.

If you're not using the GOG version, could you let us know which version you do have?

[Kasey Norman]

I was using the GOG version. Just a heads up QFG3 is nearly unplayable in 1.8 builds currently on certain Rooms just checking the stat screen causes the game to crash. I can think of on in particular In simbani Village going to the bridge and then opening the stats screen then clicking to leave will indeed cause a crash. I have a list of more but this is not the time nor place to discuss. and i am a little to busy to look into the scumm code to see what is exactly causing the errors against my console output.

[Willem Jan Palenstijn]

I also get that crash in the Simbani bridge room, from a piece of code that checks for script bugs. This code is disabled in our release builds, which is why you're not getting this crash in 1.7. If you can submit a new bug report with this list, we can try to fix or work around these script bugs in QfG3.

[Willem Jan Palenstijn]

mkiewitz and I have investigated this a bit more: it turns out that GOG has released QfG3 with a set of unofficial patches (by NRS), and these patches introduce a number of issues.

Most of our own testing was with the official Sierra release of Quest for Glory 3 with only official patches, so we hadn't looked at these before.

We would really appreciate your list of crash locations to be able to properly address them.
