Where do the saved games live in Linux?

I've been playing the demo in windows, but have finally got it for Linux, which is where I ultimately want to play it. But can I copy my windows savegame across? If so where do I put it?

Funny that ye ask...not sure, but seems you would put it under the same directory as in your Windows version?? Try & see? Then let us know how the experiment turns out

I would imagine the devs would want to keep the 2 vers (Win/Lin) as sim as possible...and that the savegame file would be compatible w/ both.

It would be kinda cool & really help a lot of folks if there was an option to 'import' a saved game...it could look in the most likely directory/s first, then prompt for alt-dir if necessary?? User could do a file search if need be for their particular save-game file.

I figured it out - it's not the same as windows. There is a directory called something like .dwDemo in your home directory amd the save games go in there. It's possible that the file got corrupted but the file doesn't seem to work in Linux - the different save games may not be compatible...

Glad ya figured it out, but too bad the Win/Lin savefiles (apparently) aren't compatible..

It kind of almost works, but some spells/songs dissapeared from my characters - perha[s they are not in both versions. Also using one of the f keys to select certain characters caused the game to crash - but it doesn't in a new game started in Linux.

BTW - does anyone know a way of skipping the intro in the Linux demo?

Generally, try 'ESC' or 'Spacebar' or 'Enter' or one of the Function keys... don't know if any of these'll work with the DW Linux intro...you've likely already tried 'em.
