How to fix crashes after victory battle? (solved)

The game crashes after almost every victory battle for Europe which makes it impossible to complete them. Someone can fix this? I have this problem on SteamOS (Proton 3.16-9).

Update:
I was able to determine that the problem was an altered screen resolution. When set to the game's default resolution, which is 1024×768, everything works fine. I won several battles and the game did not crash once.

Good that you solved it. AND shared your solution.

Screen resolution issues are a common problem with old games ... and 'new' operating systems.

Many 'VGA era' games were never coded for - hence, meant to run - in 'custom' (16:9 etc) or higher res (1080p etc) and game/system memory will just fail and crash. DirectX wrappers can only do so much. Though ddraw.dll (from dgVoodoo2 or CnC) work wonders.
