I can't say much about that without actually seeing the game, but I would conjecture that the view resource is somehow broken. Brian rewrote some of the view code for version 2.12 (I think it was), and introduced some corruption bugs. 2.13 is said to fix most of them, but some people on the message board claim otherwise. > When using Brian's provided sciv.exe, there is no problem.

Different versions of Sierra SCI are not compatible in general, mainly due to some evil speed optimizations and assumptions they make. Since FreeSCI does these things differently, we don't have those problems - there's only the bug-compatibility to take care of :-) > Cheers, Alex. Lars
