Bitdefender, premium or trial versions, has a feature called Safe Files (which is on by default) that blocks any application that tries to write to the Documents folder.

Here's a blocked message that appeared when trying to run game.exe from the Desktop. Reported by one of Prifurin's playtesters.

I'm surprised that game.exe tried to write to Documents; that could be worth fixing if it can cause problems like this. Maybe it's the default curdir and it tried to write g_debug.txt? Can't find another explanation. Haven't tested.

Oh, I got a copy of g_debug.txt from Prifurin after the app was whitelisted which showed which code was responsible thanks to the error:
! Can't write to CSIDL_PERSONAL directory C:\Users\Y\Documents
