Greetings all,

Never had a problem with the game until now... I am in Chapter 4 and am just outside of the church as Grace. I can't seem to move anymore? I click on [Exit] and I am just stuck outside the doors.

I can click on some inventory items and get a desciption, but if I look at Grace's notebook it hangs there as well.

I've started the game from the start and clicking was ok there. Did some research and most people just got stuck on chapter 4 because of a puzzle.

Unfortunately I only have 2 save games which are pretty much at the same spot. Anyone have any idea on what is going on?

Thanks!

Update:

OK I may have figured out the problem. I am outside the church whhich should be labelled "Rittersberg Town Square", but in my game it is labelled as "St Georg Church: Interior" (which should be the inside).

Guess my game is borked :(

Likewise, I just entered the church before and after Gerde, and I get stuck in both scenarios. I have a save before entering the church, but I still get stuck every time.

Did you happen to solve this in any way (in the 4 years since this post :) )?

May I suggest that you try to run / load the saved game with a newer version of ScummVM? The newer stable version is 2.6.1 and the developer builds are at 2.7.0.

The GOG version runs with ScummVM 2.0.0, which was released in December 2017 so it's quite old by now, and looking at the changes there's a few bugs that were fixed since then for GK2.

Note that it's more likely to run correctly if you load up a saved game from a point in the game where it's not already broken -- in other words load up a non-corrupted saved game.

Also, please remember to keep backups of your saved games.

I will try this and leave a note here if it works, thanks for the info.

Also, yes, I learned the hard way in GK1 to keep at least two saves per chapter.


EDIT: Thanks a lot, this seems to have been solved the issue....for now. Hopefully it's smooth sailing until the end of the game.

Thank you for confirming that the bug has been now fixed. sluicebox, the ScummVM developer most familiar with the SCI engine and very much active in going through bugs and fixing them, has been doing amazing work improving the engine over the last many years!

Let us know if you spot another bug in the game. We have a bug tracker where bugs should be reported so that we can track their progress in fixing them and get feedback from the players. The tracker is here:

Happy to report I have not run into any issues up to the ending of the game.

Will keep the link posted in mind for any future games, and if I run into any more bugs or issues realated to ScummVM, will write them up.
