I'm talking about the SVGA version and what I mean by "skipping" is that the voices kinda blank out a little bit at times, if that makes sense. I used the config mod mentioned earlier on this thread and it eased up a little, but it'd be nice to be rid of it completely. I have it on my Windows 7 64 bit at the moment. Is it the same with 8?

Well, I haven't played much, I just watched the intro and strolled around in LCL, but I didn't notice anything (W8 x64, svga ver). I don't use any mod or anything. What kind of blank are we talking? Some sort of lipsync lag issue? Popping/cracking issue that seems like pauses?

*offtopic* If anything, I find the lack of the "Yes/Oh yes" achievement sound that was in the original floppy version more annoying :P

I'm playing this at the moment on 64 Windows8 and it works perfectly for me. That is until you get about halfway in and you're satisfying a girl called Char from the mudbaths. Whilst she has you pinned to her table complete with restraints and nipple clamps she turns the voltage up. When this happens my game freezes until I'm prompted with the generic 'ScummVm has stopped responding' message.

Still looking on how I can resolve this...

You must be playing the VGA version. SVGA uses DOSBOX. Does the problem persist in that version too?
