I had problems starting Martian Dreams in Dosbox under Linux. The "Create Character" option in the main menu did nothing, trying to "Continue Game" started the game but immediately showed "DISK ERROR!!!! Function: 1, error: 2, file: savegameobjlist"
The problem seems to be that some subdirectories and files are missing in the ultima-worlds-of-adventure-2-martian-dreams/cloud_saves/ directory. Manually running INSTALL.EXE, found in the MARTIAN directory, within Dosbox and creating a new character created the missing files. After that, everything worked fine.
Maybe the download file set could be changed accordingly so the required files in cloud_saves are there out-of-the-box? Thanks!
