Not sure if anyone's pointed this out to you, or if you're still supporting Book I,
but:

The demo of Book I saved to eschalon_b1_saved_games

1.04 saved to .eschalon_b1_saved_games

1.05 saves to eschalon_b1_saved_games
1.04 had it right with .eschalon_b1_saved_games (i.e. a hidden directory). It made things confusing when upgrading to 1.05 Linux and wondering where the saved games vanished to!
