Comment (by criezy):

 I might have an idea about what is wrong.
 The AGS engines lists the savegames from most recent to older. In ScummVM
 we don't actually have access to the files modification dates, so we don't
 do this sorting. That means they are sorted with the ScummVM default
 sorting, which is by increasing slot number (which usually means from
 oldest to most recent). We could try to parse the save date string from
 the save, but an easy change I can make is to at least sort by decreasing
 slot numbers rather than increasing slot numbers.

 It is possible that QFG II Remake uses this savegame list and assumes the
 most recent is also the higher slot and thus always use the slot from the
 first savegame in the list + 1. That would explain why it always overwrite
 the second savegame. And sorting by decreasing slot number would solve
 that. I will make some tests tonight to validate this hypothesis and try
 to fix the issue.
