Dear Maintainer,

Game: The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes - The Case of the Serrated Scalpel

At the pub Moongate you have to defeat several persons in a dart game to
get further information (this will lead to a dead end, but first time
players won’t know that).

Here is a picture of the dart game: https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/square_medium/0/9408/714967-984238260_00.gif
(at least a part of it).

If you press the return key, the green line will start to grow to the
horizontal position you want to have until you press the return key
again. The same then goes for the vertical position.

In newer scummvm versions the green line will grow so fast that you can’t
really control the right stop positions anymore. So it is quite
impossible to win the game. Everything else is working fine.

It is working fine in scummvm version 2.5.0, but not in 2.6.0.


I don’t know if this is the same problem, but I tried the game „Lands of
Lore - The Throne of Chaos” with 2.7.0 (instead of Dosbox). Here
everything that flies (arrows, attack spells) is moving much faster than
in Dosbox. Everything else is working fine.

Many greetings,

	Stephan Seitz
