System Shock 2 GOG Log

You need to be completely submereged to experience this, there are not many
areas in SS2 where you can do this. The game pauses for the moment and then the
character dies. If you transfer your save file to Windows the issue is still
there, the save file is corrupted. Diving is necessary to complete SS2. I have
a GOG version of the game.

At first I thought this is just a problem with the game itself. But I noticed
that the issue affects only the users of the Mac version (Linux too?) on GOG,
which uses Wine. Check out this forum thread:
http://www.gog.com/forum/system_shock_2/system_shock_2_mac_cant_dive/page1 You
can find there corrupted save files and the ones fixed with an SS2 save files
editor.

The problem certainly needs more testing to be confirmed. The thing is, it
really takes a lot of time to find the area for diving in SS2. We can try to
use save editors to get faster to these places.

Maybe somebody could also check whether the bug occurs on Linux?

The problem can't be reproduced in the demo (there's no water).


Tested with:
Mac OS X 10.7.5, ATI HD 2600 Pro, Mac Driver/X11
