The Hammers of Fate are freezing. Mission: Frida's Dilemma. Auto-translated

Frida's Dilemma. Mission 4 The game is licensed, and I haven't installed any patches... all system requirements are met... Now, the problem: Can anyone tell me if this is a bug in the game? When I approach a castle, I watch the cutscene, then I see Laszlo at the garrison, and then other players take their turns. My entire territory turns red (as if it belongs to another player). The turn passes to Frida, and the game freezes. The hourglass appears on the screen, but I can't move the cursor anywhere... I can only open the mission objectives and look at them... and that's it. Nothing else. What could be causing this? I'm dismissing the suggestions about viruses and the graphics card... because I think that's nonsense (and I've already checked everything, and it doesn't apply). Thank you in advance. Hello. Is anyone here? I know that this problem isn't just happening to me... you have a similar post in another thread... what could be causing the problem for two different people, where the game freezes in the same place?

Still, try installing the patch.

So that I don't mess anything up with my clumsy hands, could you provide more information about which patch you're talking about... and a link to it?

There is only one patch for the VS – 2.1.
