One of these issues is fixed in 2.6, it's now ~/.freeciv/freeciv-client-rc-2.6
instead of ~/freeciv-client-rc-2.5

The stderr.txt and stdout.txt files are created by SDL, but SDL2 does not have
this console redirection feature anymore.

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #20738 (project freeciv):

Does this failure to write files cause any other ill effects in addition to
failing itself?
In a way the "right thing to do" here would be just to drop the freeciv-side
support for creating these files as exchndl.dll & Windows do not support such
functionality. This could be as easy as not including exchndl.dll in freeciv
installer package so that freeciv would not load it (its presence is checked,
and there should be no error if it's not available, just lack of related
functionality). However, if it does not cause any harm, I think it's worth
keeping for those cases where it does work.

While not providing actual usable solution for us, here's something confirming
that such a problem exist with exchndl.dll:

http://blog.toonormal.com/2012/12/02/how-to-actually-compile-and-use-exchndl-dll-drmingw/

"Relative the executable is alright for debugging, but once your game/app is
installed by a user you no longer have permission to write relative your
executable (unless you get elevated privileges)."

Bug #20356 also notes trouble with freeciv-chat.log and map images.

In essence this is a dupe of GNA#20356 (still applicable for 2.4.1 on Windows
7)

Details:

Windows NT 6+ (Vista or later) enforces a "new" rule, where applications are
not allowed to write application data to their own installation directory. For
backwards compatibility write accesses are silently redirected to, e.g.,
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files
(x86)\Freeciv-2.3.4-gtk2\etc., where it is hard to find, because AppData is a
hidden directory.  Affected files include freeciv-gtk2.RPT,
freeciv-server.RPT, stderr.txt, and stdout.txt (= stdio redirection for an
implicitly started server.)

I'd be quite willing to overrule this "new" (for me) feature for good "old"
apps incl. various MS programs, but Freeciv uses a directory name with its own
version (2.3.4 or whatever), so allowing write access for all authenticated
users won't help for the next Freeciv version.

Please create these files in the normal per user directory, i.e., use the
existing %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Roaming\.freeciv directory. 

While at it please move the configuration file .freeciv-client-rc-2.3 from
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Roaming to the existong
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Roaming\.freeciv or to the also existing
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Roaming\.freeciv\2.3 directory.
