ScummVM version : 1.9.0git970-ge4ffc1b (Mar 6 2016 11:59:34)

I have got fairly near the end of Carol Reed 5 (The Colour of Murder) but it bombs out at the end of the conversation with Jonas (about a picnic) as follows :

Assertion failed: !n.contains('/'), file backends/fs/windows/windows-fs.cpp, line 150
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Savegame in the middle of the conversation with Jonas attached.

Many thanks for reporting. I'll try to have a look during the weekend, shouldn't be too hard.

I tried this again at the weekend with ScummVM version 1.9.0git1080-g287391d (Mar 12 2016 04:18:34). It still crashed at the same point (see attached partial screenshot) but I was given a chance to ignore it. I have never seen this opportunity before so I took it. The game restarted correctly with the video of the barbecue (yum!) - and I managed to get to the end of the game.

The log comes from restarting the game at the start of that conversation with Jonas. I have regularly seen these other warnings during my Carol Reed adventures.

Thank you for your report.
I'm sorry, I lied to you - during the weekend I was sidetracked and I haven't had the time to look into it yet; I will as soon as practical.

Thanks.

JFYI, there apparently is an outstanding PR with a likely fix: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/714
