does it freeze or just take long time to do turn/combat processing?

processing time there is no fix.

but I suggest you try the release candidate 3 here
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3465
it come with DxWnd as part of the installer. DxWnd is a dll hooking program that make game run smoother especially on windows 8/10. you can run game in window or fullscreen. also installer has 1024 x 768 (have not tested 1366 x 768 patch but should work with any problems).
new installer also has combat evade/retreat crash fix and some GUI patches (1366 x 768 may overwrite)

good luck

no, I have been away and it will be fixed in next update of installer, it is a very simple fix.

so you just have to wait, or fix it for yourself

btw cross-posting same on same subject in multiple forums is very frowned a upon

https://www.mediafire.com/file/j6188pyj ... ix.7z/file - i fixed it myself (german version) - its not perfect but working ;)

- i think the alignement is not 100% correct - sometimes i placed the LCARS to low (445 not 444) or sometimes i set buttons on 445 and not 443
- yet its working ;)

i changed the placement of the LCARS and lowered the top header to 100px in the tgas
main headache was that "War Pact" and "Bribe Minor" where set to use hd_bkdwar.tga - but actually used hd_bkbri.tga

would be nice if we had a 1366x768 standalone installer - as i dislike the All in One 2.0.0

also - sry to post multiple topics about it - i was over excited ;)

btw - is it normal that there is no Text for "Freundschaftlich" or "Friendly" in german Version? missing on all minors (havent tested with majors)

without testing I expect it is due to the width of text box being to small (if text is too long it displays nothing)

you would need to increase at this point for each race.

but I expect also this is only present in german version (all resolutions)

Edit;
you would also need to move box to left to keep text centered under image.
also there is many imperfections in GUI in vanilla and enlarged GUI's (english and german)

EDIT: tested - 132px width is enough to show it correct
