#12447: AGS: Captain Disaster in Death Has a Million Stomping Boots - Saves made
through ScummVM can crash original save logic
-------------------+-------------------------

    Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal  |  Component:  Engine: AGS
 Version:          |   Keywords:
    Game:          |
-------------------+-------------------------
 In the original interpreter for "Captain Disaster in Death Has a Million
 Stomping Boots", all saves the player makes are automatically prefixed
 with the current date and time.  However, this rule is not enforced by
 saves made through the ScummVM save window, and is also not followed by
 ScummVM's autosaves.

 The original in-game save logic expects these prefixes to exist.  This can
 ultimately crash the game if a player first saves the game through
 ScummVM, and then attempts to save over that save from the original save
 logic.

 I believe the game is looking for the date in the save file it is trying
 to save over to replace it, but crashes the game because it can't find the
 date.

 The save I attached to ticket [ticket:12444] was created with the ScummVM
 save window and can trigger this issue.
