Hello! I get the following error while trying to save the game on linux:

I am using 1db15fe6b5d65cbf7aaa3e5f543e3291b6eb547d (current master).

I was checking the source code but I can't find what the cause of the issue is... Any help is appreciated.

Just in case, a bit more info:

Thanks for the help in advance!

Alright, what a mess of a bug report. Sorry about that.

I tried v1.0.0 and it didn't start saying that the master file does not exist. So I did:

ln -s MASTER.DAT master.dat
ln -s CRITTER.DAT critter.dat

And I could start v1.0.0. Then I thought that maybe the fix to start even if master.dat is called MASTER.DAT was not applied to the save game system? So I recompiled main and it does work.

So the workaround to my 15min old issue is link or rename MASTER.DAT and CRITTER.DAT to lowercase.

However, I keep this bug report open as the issue is still there and hard to figure out what is happening.
