help, I can't run the game and I have an error note like this :

An error has occurred. Please contact the game author for support, as this is likely to be a scripting error and not a bug in AGS.

(ACI version 3.5.0.30)

in "room15.asc", line 60

Error: Error running function 'room_AfterFadeIn':

Error: Null pointer referenced


I'm using ubuntu 20.04

Hi, this means that your sound device hasn't been initialized when launching the game. The default setting is -1, which automatically tries to find and use the correct sound driver, but if you're getting this error, try opening the acsetup.cfg file and replacing the value in digiid with one of the following options depending on your sound card drivers: ALSA, ARTS, ESSD, JACK, OSSD, SGIA, or SDL2. Hopefully one of these options should fix your issue.

thanks for replying, it worked when I use ARTS and run the shell from terminal.

Glad to hear, thanks for letting me know.

hello, i'm on Lubuntu 18.04 and i have only a tiny black windows open, nothing more :/

Hello, I have the same issue but I can't solve it with this solution... Is there any other things that I can try with? I'm using windows10 and my sound card driver is Realtek 

For Windows you can change sound drivers simply by running winsetup.exe and selecting a different one from the "Digital Sound" drop-down.

Thank you for replying, but I tried every options from the drop-down and it makes the same error...... I'm so sad......

If you used non-English version Win 10 as I do, change the game folder location to the root (c: or d:  ).  I solved the same problem by doing so. 

This could very well be the cause, thanks for pointing it out! But it doesn't have to be necessarily the root, any folder with English-only characters will work. The latest beta of the engine is in development right now and will probably do away with this restriction at last, but I have no idea when it will be stable enough for release. Hopefully soon!
