Hi again,
I was playing "Off The Clock - Stop time! In space!" and at some point the game crashed with a sound in a loop and a non working UI. Alt+tab didn't work either. I opened a console (via ctrl+alt+f1) and killed "ags64" process. Then I went back to graphics mode only to find desktop wasn't working either. Pretty much, same behaviour as with "Indiana Jones and the relic of the viking".

I downloaded the osx version of "Off The Clock - Stop time! In space!" and copied the game data to the linux port of the engine (ags_3.5.0.27_linux.tar.gz) data folder to make it work.

I managed to finish the game, I'm still not sure what makes the game crash though .
I manually edited acsetup.cfg and this time the game worked fine as expected.
original acsetup.cfg:

Code: ags

[misc]
game_width=320
game_height=200

antialias=0
notruecolor=0

modified acesetup.cfg:

Hi, I'm the user he was talking about. I just tried loading the savegame (just before the door thing) getting the door to hit the ice wall and this time it didn't crash :/ , then I went to fill the bucket with sea water and then it crashed (freezing X11/Xfce [so I reseted lightdm to reset the session)]. I tried disabling (compositing [xfce4]), and I followed the same steps and it didn't crashed. I proceeded to open the tunnel in the ice wall and it seems like it's working fine.
Just in case, this is the output from the terminal:

And the output from warnings.log:

I also have to say I'm using a laptop (lenovo thinkpad x220 [gpu hd3000 & sound blaster play 3 usb]) with an external display and an usb soundcard. When the game hangs it hangs in two ways: The ice sound keeps on a loop and the desktop keeps working but I cannot click anywhere and there're some graphical artifacts and the desktop won't work as expected, forcing me to reset the session. The other way it crashed, is more or less the same but without the sound loop. I'm running the game in windowed mode.

I hope you find anything of this useful.

I'll keep testing. Thanks!.
