Comment (by macca8):

 This message is actually a general feature added to ScummVM by orgads, and
 applies to all games, not just Myst III. And yes, it can be really
 annoying if it keeps popping up.

 The theory is that it protects the user from inadvertently overwriting a
 save created later in a game, after having returned to an earlier game
 state. This is fine for games with a simple pathway for completing the
 game.

 Unfortunately, for games like Myst III (Riven is another example), which
 offer multiple pathways completable in no set order, each of which can
 take considerable time, if you load an earlier game state to explore
 another age, you're more likely to encounter this message if you
 subsequently try to update your previous save.

 As annoying as it can be, it's intentional, so just be tolerant, and don't
 expect it to be removed any time soon.
