hello,

I've begun to play 5 days a stranger ( http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/5days/ )

I've tried to play in a virtual vmware windows machine (because I'm using linux). The games crashed at the beginning.

Illegal exception
---------------------------
An exception 0xC0000005 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x004A8F1A ; program pointer is +0, ACI version 2.55.560, gtags (0,0)

Maybe it's a directx issue ? ( but generally directx is working rather correctly, I managed for ex. to make Morrowind work in it... I could try to disable 3D acceleration, maybe it could do the job)

I tried, also on the windows machine, with the 2.72 player, I drag and drop the game on it, and it's working ok. But I noticed the background for the text is transparent, which make it impossible to read.
I've tested also on the 2.71 linux player, it was the same transparent background.

I tried the same on a real windows machine, with the 2.72 player, and the background was also transparent.
(From there the executable inside the game was working at least)

the latest AGS 2.72 editor no longer works with the linux player (ags-v2_71_894.tar.bz2  921k  AGS 2.71 Final Runtime (v2.71.894)).
(and probably not for the mac as well...)

And it seems there is no way to load a game back in the 2.71 editor.

Wine is not working at all with the games, and the DOS support has been disabled.
I think the only way to run games is by using vmware for ex., but it's not very conveniant.

Will the 2.72  be ported to linux one day ?
