There's something you can do to stabilize and it helps. I had same issue way back year ago. I ultimately stopped trying to play because it wasn't a sufficient fix.

However, it had to do with a setting in your Task Manager.
I believe after you load the game, you need to alt-tab, open Task Manager, right-click on the game process .exe running (whatever it's called), go to Set Affinity. As to the number of CPUs that can run the process I think you need to bring it down to 2.

I'M NOT 100% certain but I recall reading and messing with the CPU settings thru task manager for the game because it was a known issue on newer (techincally older now) systems.

Try looking it up first to see if you can find anything but I do recall doing something like this and it stabilized but would crash for other reasons, or the alt-tabbing would glitch out to black screen or crash the game. It was totally annoying so I stopped bothering to try.

Best bet is to wait for a GOG version (although this is a 1C published game so maybe not?) that tries stabilize but not all their versions of games are stable (take Arcanum for example...).

You can also try browing the 1C Publishing forums but it's dead and barely functioning.

Try deleting/renaming/moving your Data/Music folder. The game tends to crash sometimes when loading new music (which happens after class selection)

These tips might help out with my own bugs. It's a pity this game doesn't get more attention. Ideally it'd be great to see it get an update of some kind and rereleased here or on GOG. It'd be awesome if it was given a remaster treatment but I can live without the QoL and graphics tweaks if the game is made to be more stable and compatible.
