Hi.
A graphical glitch is present in chapter 5.
Tried changing dgvoodoo settings, but nothing helped.
I have attached a photo and a log file.

Plz attach a savegame for that location and I'll look into it some day.

Thanks for the reply, Dege.
Here is the save where the graphical glitch shown in the picture occurs.
I made the save without using dgvoodoo if it matters.

I forgot. Create a folder named Saved in the root of the game, and throw there these files.

Thanks. However I cannot reproduce the glitch. I have a vanilla English installation (I don't know if the game language matters.
Also, is there a widescreen patch for this game or the resolution is simply forced into 16:9 (because it's a 4:3 game by default)?

I fixed it.

The background picture of that scene differs from the English version because the name for Hotel Deep Six is modified to the Russian counterpart.
The Russian background bitmap must have been saved with a different pixel format (that's why the glitch does not come with the English version) because it has no transparency, the curvy clouds don't show up there.
