Hostages bug on 020+

Seems there is a bug in Hostages (1988) where in the first part of the game, as soon as you emerge on to the street you are shot dead
It works ok on OCS/ECS configs, only 020+ is affected.
All game versions have same result (SPS / cracked / WHDload).
Tested with standard a1200 quickstart.

That is very funny I have an 1200 too so I hope there is a "cure" but I remember playing the game some time ago amd that didn't happen. Ill check -maybe it was the c64 emulator I was playing :/

It is game bug. Switching off immediate/waiting blitter probably fixes it. (and no JIT allowed)

Quickstart 1200 has immediate blitter & JIT Disabled. So issue/bug is still there.

I think you still didn't read it carefully enough
"waiting blitter" (or Wait for Blitter) option is the key word.

Disabling "wait for blitter" fixed it, thanks Toni!

In my case "wait for blitter" didn't work, I must set "Cycle-exact" full.
Using WinUAE 3.2.2, A500 OCS
