./quake2 +set vid_ref soft

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).

I don't really get any error messages. 

The big problem is, I don't know _how_ to run squake2.

I'm running Quake2 for X11 version 3.14a

I thought that was meant to have the problem of loading a game causing a segmentation
fault fixed.

Thanks for the tip.

I eventually was able to save and restore a game.

I found that I had to :-

    - start Quake2
    - start the network server.
    - start a game.
    - save that game.
    
Then I was able to load other games that I had previously saved.



Thanks
Graham
