I have the same problem. :-/

Hi, the problem appears to be that modern graphics cards have more memory than the game recognises.

There is an easy fix for this - found here:

Hello. Yes I am having the same too!

Have you tried what Heroic_Spur said?

im having this problem and heroic thing didnt work

Confirmed heroic_supr's directX wrapper + running the game in compatibilty did the trick. cudos!

I did the Heroic thing and it didn't work.
But I got it working doing this:
Have you tried launching it from the executable rather than launching from Shortcuts/GoG Galaxy? Actually find the game executable (eg. C:\GOG Games\Settlers 4 Gold and run s4.exe from there. Make sure you have done the compatibility settings on the file first!)
This was the final piece that got it working for me.
