same problem last night on my windows 8 (64) machine. tried every single compatibility option and none of the corrected the error. i've bought close to 30 games from GOG and this is the first time I've had an issue...are they normally pretty good about patching stuff like this?

I realized that it works in window mode. You have to Alt-Tab, then the game is minimized. When you klick on the game icon at the bottom of the screen to maximize it again the game pops up in window mode and there you can see everything. Seems that the problem only appears if you run the game in fullscreen mode. Maybe there is an other way to start the game in window mode, until GOG fixes it.

You're talking about a different problem here. On Win8 systems the game definitely freezes during the battle loading screen no matter whether you're doing that in fullscreen or windowed mode.

Running it in a window, in Windows 98/ME compatibility mode did get it running for me too.

Hi guys,
I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing these issues as well.
My "Fix" was to disable raptor. I had an issue with it before and certain games.
After I disabled their overlay the game ran fine. Not sure if it was a happy coincidence or a resolution.
Hope this helps.

Please check my last post here:

Reinstalling with changed system locale fixed it for me.
But disabling certain services could indeed do the trick as well.

This is the same response I got and it worked for me as well. Then I went through trying to figure out what was causing it, and for me it is Adobe Creative Cloud. If I have that running then the game will hang at prepare for battle. When I close the program entirely then the game loads just fine. I hope this information helps someone.

Shutting down Outlook 2013 makes the game playable for me on Win 8.1
If that doesn't work, open up task manager and kill every single .exe application you can find.

I turned off Google Drive which is also a cloud and it works fine now.
