King's Quest: Mask of Eternity cannot load saved games.

so after a lot of wasted time and stuff, I finally got mask of eternity working on my desktop with arch linux. everything seems to be working fine, except I can't change the graphics mode to direct3d (I don't care about that though) and more importantly, I can't load saved games. this game is huge and there is no way to beat it in one sitting, so that is a huge problem. I was going to report a bug but I don't think anyone really plays the game anymore... I don't know if anyone would help. I just thought I would post on the forum first. in the compatibility page or whatever, people have had this problem before and I don't think anyone has fixed it.

Don't do that. People on the mailing list will have no idea what this is about.

From your original post:

As you say, this is a long-known bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2905

Nobody's posted updated information about this problem in either the AppDB or the bug report in over a year. You can make yourself useful by posting test results from the current development release in both.

In the future, when asking questions, include your distro, Wine version, and for games, graphics card and drivers. And learn to punctuate your sentences--most of the people who help on this forum will simply ignore a rambling mess like the one you initially posted.
