[Zloděj] Game crashes during conversation

[myself600]

Output:

ERROR: Module Txt: NOT FOUND KEY 'Dan Stanford_k'

I've tried https://github.com/lotharsm/scummvm/tree/clue and the bug is present there also. The game crashes in DOSBox too (picture # 3). The English version doesn't have this issue (picture # 4).

DATADISK.gz (.7z really)

How to reproduce?

1. Download the Czech version from https://sourceforge.net/projects/cosp/files/Original%20Game%20Files/The%20Clue%21%20%28Czech%29/ClueCZ.zip/download and extract it
2. Extract attached save files above into game folder
3. Run derclou and load the savegame ("Pokračování staré hry" or "Otevřít hru")
4. Talk to Dan Stanford ("Mluvit"), select "Marc Smith??" then "... k?" (text varies)
5. Game crashes

Neither in the English version (https://theclou.netlify.app/) nor German version (https://derclou.netlify.app/) the game crashes for me. I have also taken the datadisk files from your linked sourceforge project page.

I guess there has to be some kind of missing files in the CZ version.

The shipped file TEXTS/TALK_0E.TXT is possibly corrupted as can be seen from the last line in picture # 1. The CD version from Level 9/1998 have the same issue. There should be a patch for this, but the file must be decoded first to investigate.
