Comment (by arrowgent):

 the sources are included in the game folder (included all license
 agreements)

 however, i dont believe they modified the sources?

 their launcher simply hooks and "checks" the save game folder for
 achivements
 i believe thats all it does.

 here is a steamdb of the files to compare:
 https://steamdb.info/depot/4289031/

 i can give you an MD5SUM of the scummvm.exe for verification if that is
 enough


 c9fec810074a8d5b92125d27250aca0a scummvm.exe (2026.1 "built Feb 15 2026"
 288eb3ad1f4f0121955898ff9f48d6ad scummvmold.exe (2.9.1)

 official "scummvm-2026.1.0-win32-x86_64.zip" downloaded from the site
 df3d8fe9cbfda773d64d6341402e56fd scummvm.exe

 now that doesnt mean much,  the about section (CTRL+F5, about)
 says the only engine available is `macromedia director`
 which means they compiled the source and excluded all other game engines,
 which totally makes sense to do that.


 LASTLY..... i can test replacing scummvm.exe with the offical released
 version Feb 1st 2026 noted above
 and see how that performs
 try to deduce if proton/wine + dxvk/opengl is what is helping solve the
 broken video playback or what
