Follow-up Comment #1, patch #6818 (project freeciv):
As long as Vista or later installations do not really work, because Freeciv
tries to write to its own installation directory (stdout + stderr + crash RPT
+ map colour test output among others, strictly forbidden on Vista or later)
this is a slightly odd suggestion.
The default FREECIV_PATH is also unsuited for Vista or later, because Freeciv
can be only started with CWD = installation directory, or (in theory) CWD =
data subdirectory of the installation directory.
These issue are related, if Freeciv 2.x could be started elsewhere (e.g., in
the writable modpack 2.x directory) while still finding its own install/data
stuff, everything would be fine.
