Follow-up Comment #3, bug #11123 (project wesnoth):
Primary design consideration for windows was portability and not breaking
backwards compatibility with versions without multi- user accounts. There is
a patch in development that will allow to choose wether or not do you want to
use userdata folder. But that's slightly offtopic.
Sure, behaviour between 1.2 and 1.3 changed, we support save compression via
boost-iostreams/zlib shared libraries. That doesn't require any deep system
hooks, but it's a dll (SDL) calling dll (boost) calling dll (zlib) with the
middle one doing the write, if windows x64 protection can't stomach that it's
not our fault.
Bear in mind two things, no dev has an win x64 box to test things on, and
we'll not reinvent the wheel just becuse a particular OS distribution has
compatibility issues.
PS If you didn't notice programs like security software usualy have at least
one system type process that does all the deep os hooks, and that process
runs with superuser rights.
