Issues unresolved
Videos are rendered white
- All FMVs in the game, except for the intro logo videos, only appear as white (the color, not Vanna). Audio will still play as normal.
Videos can be disabled in the options to alleviate the issue, but it does take away some of the spectacle that the show is known for.
(Linux only) Videos cause program to become unresponsive
- All FMVs will bring up an error regarding the Indeo video codec used to play them. The program will proceed until it's time to play the first puzzle, but as soon as Vanna appears, the program will become unresponsive, requiring the program to be terminated. As said before, videos can be disabled in the options to make the game playable.
