Fix for random save game problem
For those experiencing random save games being launched, here is a fix. Go into the directory where the game puts the save games. On Linux it is:

~/.frictionalgames/Amnesia/Pig/<profile name>/

You will see a bunch of *.sav files with the structure:

AutoSave_Bilge_2013_9_14_23_3_40_0.sav

rename all files so that everything is lowercase in the filenames. That's the fix. The issue seems to be that the game creates .sav files with uppercase letter, e.g.

AutoSave_Location_Date_Time_0.sav

but when it syncs up against the Steam Cloud it recreates all files with lowercase letters, e.g.

autosave_location_date_time_0.sav

hence creating some sort confusion for the game to figure out what to load first. Hope this helps. I've only tried this on Arch Linux 64 bit.
