Not me, but Q2's savegame system seems to be a collection of
rather gross hacks, this is especially true for the Linux
version. The soon-to-be-released v3.15 is supposed to fix
this for once and all, and is said (or at least was planned)
to support inter-platform savegame compatibility (ie. 95/NT
savegames can be loaded from the Linux version & vice versa).
