Comment:

 Please apply Sierra's patch to fix the barn lockup and other edge cases.
 Download PHANPAT and unzip it to your game directory:

 Games/PhantasmagoriaSeriesUpdates.html

 I know that this is the problem because I couldn't reproduce this even
 with auto-clicking software until I remembered that you were unpatched
 from ticket #14368. Without the patch I was able to reproduce barn-lockup
 with auto-clicking on the first try.

 The video links are now dead for the original crashes you reported, so we
 have nothing to go on except room numbers and a generic error message, so
 that's the end of that story. It's quite possible that they were because
 you're running an unpatched version.

 I would backport Sierra's relevant fix with our script patcher, but there
 are so many different versions of the target script that it's not
 practical. Plus, it only seems to affect speedunner-like clicking in rare
 instances. From my research, I also believe you have an older GOG
 distribution where they messed up packaging the patches; newer releases
 just work.

 Starting last month, we improved the error messages so that any SCI crash
 that brings up the yellow debugger will automatically include lots of
 relevant information on the screen and in the log file. If you get the
 latest version, then any other errors you find should be much easier to
 figure out.

 Closing this as WONTFIX but it's really CANTFIX without more information.
 If you find more crashes or lockups, please create separate ticks for
 them, otherwise things get confusing.
