I have an unexpected bug in the GoG version of Privateer, When I am at Oxford, doing research on the artifact at the research computers, I got all the way to the part where the computer pulls up info on Dr Monkhouse, and then it freezes.

How do I unfreeze it? or does it continue on its own after some time? I waited like 20 seconds and nothing happened.

I also found this, for some reasons pressing random buttons seemed to knock it out of its loop, its almost as if the game is still running but the video/current display gets stuck on a loop but things still happen in the background.
I'm aware pressing "random buttons" isnt very helpful or descriptive, but it did something.

Whenever this happens to me, I just minimize the game, then maximize it (it should open in a window instead of fullscreen), then click anywhere on the game screen and it changes to the next scene.

actually I just tried that and it works also!

Thank you. I did the minimizing + maximizing trick, click on the window, mashed the keyboard, etc. Not sure what actually worked, but it did the trick. I can continue with the game. Thanks GOG community!
