If you are having crashes try this.

On Windows 7/Vista set the Affinity of the game to one core when you have it open.

To access this goto Windows Task Manager(Ctrl Shift Esc)

Then click on the Processes Tab

Right click Enclave.exe in the list(You need to have it running)

Choose set Affinity and pick the core you want to use.

I had 26ish or so crashes going through the game on the light campaign before I did this, after setting it to one core I haven't crashed at all and managed to beat both campaigns .

Be sure to do this every time you launch the game, and have fun.

Mine wouldn't even start as such, usual green in game box then back to blue online.
Nothing appeared.
Open folder for game exe and set the compatibility to Windows xp SP3.
Disabled DPI Scaling.
Disabled visual themes.
Disabled Desktop Composition.
One or all fixed mine. Just putting it out there in case more search.

Sadly if i set affinity just to one core it is unplayble, even in menu it lags as hell. I am using windows 10. Not sure why i see this solution everywhere but it makes the game unplayable for me. I will try 4:3 resolution, not sure if it can fix the problems.

I played it on windows 10 using affinity workaround and it worked fine a couple of years ago, for sure.
Now I am going to play it again on linux, and ironically, linux has higher chances to run old games better with proton compatibility layer. If you are curious, I can tell how it will go.
By the way, you can install linux side by side with windows, without ruining your current windows installation. The GUI linux installers like Calamares can shrink your windws partition (if you have free space), and get spare space for linux. You need around 40GB if you are going to install a lot of big packages on linux. also linux can read and write on any windows filesystems, be it fat, exfat or ntfs. so trying out linux is painless.
