thanks for info /Maybe this is a clue to find the error. probably it's about something related to the full screen / resolution.I'll do some tests tomorrow, I have a few guesses, we'll see.
what graphic card? I suppose nvidia? you use native resolution, or rescaled to smaller?

alt tab working partially, menu showing up, but i no see mouse and cant choose anything.
Game has VERY BIG problems with alt+tab minimize and back to game, freeze and halt game for ~30 sec. and hdd working hard .The same when change resolution ingame.it takes 30 -60 sec blackscreen. And next must wait 1-2 min for mouse pointer.
im 100% sure that eech has problem with fullscreen ,recognition of resolution or scaling modes.when we use less than native resolution.
Im 100% sure this problem appear when eech migrate to dx9.I've made a movie, it's documented.I know, it does not help much butI can not do anything more.Last year everything works great. 116 and project,and today game is unplayable.nothing change with software and hardware. Other games works normally.

What resolution are you using? Could you run the debug version and post the debug log when it happens?

Sad to hear that this issue cause so much troubles. I have no any of them, resolution changing in about 5-6 seconds for me, and no delays when I navigate in the options. It can be hardware compatibly issue, or drivers related (depends on hardware anyway).
Only firebird capable to navigate in rendering code freely. I'm just making simple tweaks and watching what happens, but as I can't experience issue - there is no way I can fix it. Can only recommend to change notnl, fs, eads, 3dreset values one by one and check for positive result.

Thanks for help.when it comes to pc hardware and software, I am a very experienced user and all the time trying to find some regularity.for now without success.I can not understand why the year works, and suddenly ceases to work, for no reason. sigh it does not make sense on logic.

When the pause happens, does the screen image load, but it just takes time for the text to appear? I'm thinking it might have something to do with loading the fonts from your system?

Hmmm is possible. But exit in left corner is always. Only right menu. From whst i remember thealx doing something with fonts. But this make sense.

it's firebird's code. now game not just load font but pre-render characters as I can understand, because of that initialization takes several seconds longer. not sure it can create issues above but it may be possible.

imo there 2 problems :
With change resolution. This exist in 1.14 , maybe even earlier.

And with game freeze in menu, its appear between 1.15 and 116 exactly when those changes with fonts were introduced.I know that the fonts are loaded on an earlier screen.but maybe these changes somehow do not work properly in specific languages?

please try this EXE https://drive.google.com/open?id=15tU2nitLEnwGSyyJw0r1zQRBgEu6lYQi
it doesn't disable all font-related improvements, but still can bring some result

2 last weeks i run ~50 times this game,while checking out new things I'm doing.
On 90% im sure that freeze is somehow related to fonts.normal exe suspends for a very long time.always.
with your exe freeze is not, or they are much shorter.it works very strangely, completely randomly.but less freeze is on your test version

after many tests freeze causes disabled vsync.with off on the nvidia panel vsync-2d menu always freeze.ALWAYS.
When i enable vsynch in the envidia panel- game working good , no any freeze.I'm sure because I've checked it for several months.
