I am running Linux. KUbuntu 16.04 to be precise.
Earlier today I decided that I'd like to beta test Crimson Moon's new hold, Chance for Paradise. I loaded up the hold and started playing it. I noticed that CM had placed multiple room styles into his hub level. Adjacent rooms had different styles. NOTE: This Is THE FIRST time I've seen this done.
I then tried to enter a level, to continue my testing. I couldn't do it. I was given the level description, and then, instead of entering the level, I was taken back to the Play Game menu. I tried clicking Continue Playing Game, and I was told that "
DROD could not load the saved game"
Now, it gets weirder. I tried installing DROD. I chose version 5.1.0.6513 for Linux. I boot it up, and this time, I am able to get into CM's Hold and successfully enter a level from the hub. I tried a different level, and I was booted back to the Play Game Menu. I click Continue Game for the second time, and am again told "
DROD cannot load the saved game"
A few minutes go by and then CM suggest I try out other holds. I do so and get this behavior:

First, I show how the theme changes in the preview pictures as I switch back and forth through the holds.
Second, I show that the theme is correct when I enter the hold.
Third I show that moving from one level to the next involves a lengthy process:
I enter the stairs and get the level description.
I get booted from the hold. I reboot the game.
I enter the hold again.
I am now in the new level.
Next Blorx1 suggested that I try deleting the custom room styles that CM's hold added. I go to the editor and I am presented with a see that I can't edit CM's hold, despite the editing privileges set to "
Anyone"
Where there should be a display of the currently selected room is a big tan square. Clicking it does nothing. I take a look at some other rooms and find that I can edit some of them.
Attached is my DROD.err file, showing as much as it can. I think this is all the errors since the issue started, but I can't quite recall.
This saga is strange for a few reasons:
1. My game was fine before I played CM's hold.
2. People running Windows have no issues with CM's hold
3. I am no longer getting pop-ups telling me that "
DROD cannot load the saved game."
TL;DR
Crimson Moon's hold, Chance for Paradise screws up the Linux version of DROD.
