Comment:

 Thank you for reporting this. I found this too, unfortunately it's a bug
 in the original game that we can't do anything about. These are broken
 messages with no audio, the same thing happened in DOS. There's quite a
 bit of that in this game. A while ago I fixed the few where the real audio
 was orphaned somewhere else but this audio simply doesn't exist.

 The reason the messages are flying by is that when audio is enabled, the
 audio duration determines how long the message stays up. No audio means a
 very short delay. If you turn audio off and text on then the length of the
 text determines the delay and the text will display normally.

 I'm closing this as wontfix as that's is what we've done for other missing
 audio bug reports for this game.

 Ideally, we would have a workaround mechanism to handle this situation
 that results in text always being displayed and the text length used when
 dealing with missing messages, but I've spent a while trying to do that
 for this very game and after learning all the details I became convinced
 it couldn't be done, well within reason. I don't like that outcome though,
 so maybe this classic management technique of claiming something nerdy
 Can't Be Done will spur some genius.

 digitall, thank you for tagging all these as SCI, I hadn't seen any of
 these QFG4 ones until now!
