I've also noticed something in Age of Wonders II which I suppose doesn't require its own thread.

When tracing is enabled, either level 1 or 2, the game seems to freeze when attempting to start a new campaign, at least I can't move the cursor and keyboard buttons don't work. It works without tracing.

I fixed the gun but have no idea for the logging freeze at the moment.

I found the line dumping a d3d call trace in the debug layer that causes the freeze. If I comment that line out then no freeze, however there is no any illegal operation in that dump code that could cause an internal exception or sg like that.
If I don't run any dbg application receiving the dbg messages then there is also no freeze, so my only idea is that dumping that message causes some timing problem in the game.

Odd, it happens for me even without any debugging application running.

I don't know if this matters or not, but I'm using the old retail release, not GOG.

Extreme PaintBrawl is now fixed. Thank you.

The issue with Age of Wonders II still happens. The game freezes.
