* KQ5: After the deaf man scene, warning failed to find audio entry 9302 appears several times, 7072 comes immediately after that scene, 7065 isn't found when Cassima frees you from the prison, 9300 is not found after going through the labyrinth with her, 9301 when throwing the fish to the cat, 7068 when going through the pages of the book | |||
* KQ6: Missing sync resource. Right at the beginning, go to bookshop and get the book that's on the table. 2nd portrait has no sync resource but audio. Windows version uses the appended sort of "raw data" for lip-sync, that's why its working there (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD6EM7v6R8Y#t=2m23s). We may possibly even create virtual sync resources out of that data, so the scripts will get it and even DOS version could work with full lip-sync. Further investigation required | * KQ6: Missing sync resource. Right at the beginning, go to bookshop and get the book that's on the table. 2nd portrait has no sync resource but audio.

* EQ1 (CD only!): The game crashes when trying to exit room 660 (closeup of the head of King Cetus) from the left or right, while trying to show a dialog that you shouldn't go that way. You need to exit the screen from the bottom to continue normally - THIS GETS PATCHED IN SCUMMVM ON-THE-FLY | |||

* Push ups (room 380) are machine speed dependent. That one is calculated after the ranchy questions (room 290).

* You will dehydrate in the desert way too soon. A message will pop up almost immediately when you've landed, telling you you need to drink. You'll die of thirst before you can even think of exploring the planet - speed slider must be set fully up to avoid this, otherwise you may use newrisingsun's script patches which solve this issue - {{BugTrack|num=3036359}} | * You will dehydrate in the desert way too soon.

* When Roger enters a screen where the "droid-0-death" can/will appear, it will come almost immediately. It will be very hard to get the rope, the unstable ordinance, the PocketPal and to hide yourself from this droid, not to mention successfully entering the sewer grate. The biggest problem is, of course, that the game doesn't give you any time to explore and look around carefully because you're too occupied escaping the droid. The droid should not appear for at least a full minute. | * When Roger enters a screen where the "droid-0-death" can/will appear, it will come almost immediately.

* Boarding the transport shuttle on the streets of Xenon is almost impossible. The Sequel Police are already standing there, waiting to kill you.

* As far as I know, the only timer problem in Space Quest 5 is the EVA scene were you need to rescue Cliffy with the pod. The controls are very hard to handle because the ship moves too fast. Normally, this puzzle is already very hard. Not only is it already fast, but you have little fuel. This puzzle requires some mouse skills, so don't whine if it doesn't work right from the start. | * As far as I know, the only timer problem in Space Quest 5 is the EVA scene were you need to rescue Cliffy with the pod.
