I know there isn't much information on this problem, since it's quite surprising, but I can't seem to get scummvm to actually launch Lures of the Temptress.
Even using the default INI that the GoG installer offers, it looks like it fails after trying to load the actual game itself.
A copy of my lure.ini file (as seen in Notepad++) [NOTE: All backslashes were removed by the GoG forums]
[scummvm]
music_volume=192
midi_gain=100
speech_volume=192

Other Scummvm games like Beneath the Steel Sky seem to work just dandy.
Attempted Solutions:
*Launch LURE via BASS' installation of scumvm
->FAILED (Same Result)
*Reinstall LURE
->FAILED (Same Result)
*Redownload LURE installer
->FAILED (Same Result via GoG Downloader)
I'd of course like to see if others are having issues other than me.. I guess I just prefer to try and solve issues on my own prior to contacting GoG's support groups. (Especially for a free game, I mean come on, the least I can do is try to troubleshoot my end right? ;) )

Hi
I don't know if that was your misspell, forum issue, or sth else, but looks like there is one mistype in your config. Below [setup] section supposed to be a [lure] section, you got double bracket there - [[lure]. Therefore game cannot start.
Delete destination folder (to make sure there no files from Lure... left) and install it again.

You were right about my quotes. Tried to paste the code into a quote box for easier reading, but it caused a major issue with my post, so while trying to troublehshoot, I removed the brackets, and replaced them with "<"s. After pulling the quote tags I manually wrote them back in.
In anycase I did re-download and reinstall. The issue is sadly persisting.

Do you get any actual error messages from ScummVM? Or does it just hang?
You can start LOTT with this command from a DOS shell (or type it in the windows "Run..." dialog):
<path to scummvm.exe> -d5 > debug.txt -c "<path to lure.ini>" lure
(e.g.: "C:/Games/Lure of the Temptress/ScummVM/scummvm.exe" -d5 > debug.txt -c "C:/Games/Lure of the Temptress/lure.ini" lure)
This will create a text file (in the same directory of scummvm.exe) with a debug output. Could you attach it here, please or look where there were failures?
PS: I've replaced backslashes with slashes

As a test, try and download the freeware release on scummvm.org
http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php#extras
Extract the zip to the scummvm folder for the GOGified version of LOTT. Run ScummVM and tell it to add the extracted directory as a game & see if that version runs. If that version runs then the problem is probably with a file somewhere in the GOGified version and we can see if we can figure it out from there.
Maybe attach your Lure.ini file as well, that way we can test it with our copies.
Well it seems we are getting somewhere now. Thanks to Pip-Boy, I've managed to get an error returned here, though it wasn't saved to a debug text file. (For some reason it didn't actually save, or I'm too stupid to find it in ScummVM's directory.)
The result:
Debuglevel (from command line): 0
User picked target 'lure' (gameid 'lure')...
Looking for a plugin supporting this gameid... Lure of the Temptress Engine

Installed the stand-alone version of ScummVM (Version 0.12.0). Ran LURE straight from the executable using the version provided by "Extras". Ran, but no audio, and rather slow.
Attempted to run the "Extra" version of LURE through ScummVM with the same error returned.
Attempted to run GoG's version of LURE (Interestingly enough is VGA as opposed to EGA), with the same error returned.

Audio Chipset Is:
SigmaTel Internal High Definition

I know, I know.. SigmaTel is crap, but something like this should be easy for it. Anyone know what Code 3 is?
Good progress so far! You have now narrowed it down to ScummVM not liking your soundcard. (As far as Lure is concerned anyway)
May sound like a really stupid question - but you *have* checked that you are using the latest driver for your Sigmatel audio chip, yes?

Considering the kind of company that SigmaTel is? Yes, it's running the latest available. (Checked via Dell, though there is no way to get support from the actual manufacturer. SigmaTel is extremely odd like that.)
What really confuses me is that it works fine for BASS.

I work with Dell PC's every day - and the drivers they provide on their website are rarely updated, to say the least. Am using a Sigmatel chip in my own PC (STAC 92XX Version), the latest driver from Dell is from June 2007, but I'm using a non-dell version which is a whole year newer than that.
You may want to see what a site like [url=]http://driveragent.com[/url] finds, but post here first before parting with any money :-)

I have a Creative notebook edition card, so it's not a case of parting with money, just convenience.
The online scan portion indicated that there is an updated driver, but it is not supported via Dell in that respect.
I'm not entirely sure about grabbing it in the first place (as I'd have to register for YAS [Yet Another Service] to do so.) Even still, I can't wrap my brain around why ScumMV is failing with LURE, and not BASS.
It looks like I'm not the only one.

If you post the link driveragent points you to, I might be able to help :-)
No harm in trying a newer driver, you can always revert back to the latest by Dell if something fails...
DiverAgent points to here.

Yikes, that did not exactly work as expected. Could you tell me the specifics that driveragent gives you about the driver it finds instead? I can do a manual search if I have enough info.
