the game starts normally for me, but once I am in the main menu, the entire screen appears stretched (1920x1080), so i go to the options menu to lower the resolution (1600x1024). In the menu I've also noticed some weird texts on the various buttons (uiOptVideoAdd for example, amongst a few others). If i select the desired resolution and click on apply, the entire game freezes, forcing me to use task manager to get out of the game again. After closing it with task manager, I get this error message:

"Call stack functions:

0001:0017EC4B D:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Fantasy Wars\fw.exe
0001:0017FEA2 D:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Fantasy Wars\fw.exe
0001:001785FC D:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Fantasy Wars\fw.exe
0001:001785C0 D:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Fantasy Wars\fw.exe
0001:00624C69 D:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Fantasy Wars\fw.exe"

in the same window, there is a very large gap followed by this line:
"0001:00024458 C:\WINDOWS\System32\MSCTF.dll"
followed by another large gap and more lines that disappear beyond the bottom rim of my monitor, with no way to scroll down.

Has anyone else had this or something similar happen to them? And is there a solution to this problem, or is this game unplayable for me?

Same here. I just bought the game and I'm having a similar issue. If I play on a 1920x1080 screen the game crashes when changing the resolution.

However, I was able to get into the game and check the option for "Windowed Mode" found right below the resolution options. Then try to change to a lower resolution (still crashed).

An upside though is now if I play on my screens full resolution, 3840x1080, it launches in a window and I can change the resolution.

Another good part is that the game keeps the mouse within the game window and I can Alt+Tab out if I need to.

Same thing happened to me too, I've fixed it by changing this file:
...\GOG Galaxy\Games\Fantasy Wars\Data\DefaultSettings.xml

Open with text editor, and search this section:
<Video>
<b_isWindowed>true</b_isWindowed>
<ip2_resolution x="1024" y="768"/>
<f_brightness>1.00000000</f_brightness>
<s_textureQuality>TEXTURE_HIGH</s_textureQuality>
<s_shadowQuality>SHADOW_MEDIUM</s_shadowQuality>
<s_grassQuality>GRASS_HIGH</s_grassQuality>
<s_avatarQuality>AVATAR_HIGH</s_avatarQuality>
<s_farDistance>DISTANCE_HIGH</s_farDistance>
<s_shadersQuality>SHADERS_HIGH</s_shadersQuality>
<b_isRefracEnabled>true</b_isRefracEnabled>
<b_isFSAAEnabled>false</b_isFSAAEnabled>
</Video>

You'll probably see 'false' in the 'b_isWindowed" section, just change it.
