Comment (by kparal):

 D'oh, I'm sorry! There indeed was `~/.scummvm/lastexpress-blue.egg` . It
 was created by ScummVM 2.9.1, and that's why ScummVM 2026.2.0 probably
 considered it corrupt. I didn't realize the save files are placed into a
 different non-game directory. It makes sense of course, it just wasn't
 obvious to me.

 After I removed the .egg file, The Last Express now starts correctly.
 Thank you!

 I believe this ticket can now be closed.

 As a possible recommendation, you could change this error line:
 {{{
 ERROR: Save game file "blue.egg" is corrupt!
 }}}
 to include a **full** file path. That would make it easier for other
 people that encounter this problem to figure out how to resolve it.

 Thanks again.
