457,Default crashlog location is bad,Philip,,"By default (before it has called `psSetLogDir`), the game tries to write crashlog.txt into the current directory, which is typically the `system` directory. When the game is installed in a read-only directory, and an error occurs during the startup process, that causes obvious problems. The original error report is lost and replaced by the can't-write-crashlog.txt error report, which isn't very helpful.

On Linux, maybe it'd be best to detect any errors writing crashlog.txt and then just dump the original error to stdout instead, because people are likely to see it there. On Windows maybe it should ignore crashlog-writing-errors and just display the normal dialog box for the original error. Or something else.",defect,new,If Time Permits,Backlog,Core engine,,,jan
