I don't know how you could resolve this, the game working normally, here.

Have you contacted support yet?
I'm having a similar problem. I have the flashing screen, but instead of crashing the screen is frozen. Stuck on Nox, flashing, but i can hear the menu screen and if I move my mouse I can hear it touching the various options. But frozen solid

MurphNastyFlex: The description says Win 8, but what about 10?

SilentPony: In the Windows Settings for both NOX.EXE and Game.exe:
- Compatiability Mode: Windows98/Windows Me
- Settings: Reduced Color Mode > 16 bit

In-Game Options:
- Set it to 1024x768 and it will apply when you start playing the game itself (not the meuns).
- 16 bit color
- Uncheck "Unlocked DX Surfaces"

Results:
Slight flicker of mouse cursor on the main menus, but not while playing.
Main menus are always 640x480.
Game runs fine.

I am running Windows 10 with a very low spec PC. My screen displayed a persistent flickering title screen, but didn't crash. I could move the mouse around and hear sound effects. The readme.txt file mentions a compatibility mode reset in the start menu. This solved my problem.

Method 1 using GOG Galaxy launcher
1. Click Nox shortcut from the start menu (It looks like an ordinary shortcut and does not say compatibility.)
2. Click "Run Program" button.
3. Don't skip company logos. (Some programs secretly load data during this time & will fail if skipped occasionally)
4. Don't skip cutscene (Sometimes this causes sound card issues.)
5. Use quit button to exit game.
6. Now click "Play" from GOG Galaxy launcher
7. Repeat steps 3 & 4.
8. Click New or Load game & have fun.

Method 2 manual compatibility option
1. Locate Nox.exe (Don't confuse it with the shortcut)
2. Right click then select properties
3. Click compatibility tab
4. Select Compatibility box and select Windows 98
5. Click ok
6. Double click Nox.exe (I don't hide my file extensions, but yours may be hidden.)
7. Don't skip company logos. (Some programs secretly load data during this time & will fail if skipped occasionally)
8. Don't skip cutscene (Sometimes this causes sound card issues.)
9. Click New or Load game & have fun.

Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 18363) (18362.19h1_release.190318-1202)

I finished the gauntlet and everything seems to be working now.
