Did you have those problems always since first installing and running FtG or did you do something to start them?

What are the values in your file settings.txt in FtG´s game directory? e.g mine are:
Code:
moddebug = yes
runbackground = no
gui = {
    language = "l_english"
}
graphics = {
    size = {
        x = 1280
        y = 1024
    }
    fullscreen = yes
}
music = yes
lastmod = {
    dir = "Plvs_Vltra\"
    style = {
        shields = "Glory"
        font = "glory"
        interface = "Glory"
        colorscales = "glory"
    }
}

    }
}

Its was always since first installing and running FtG

Code:
moddebug = yes
runbackground = no
gui = {
    language = "l_English"
}
graphics = {
    size = {
        x = 1920
        y = 1080
    }
    fullscreen = yes
}
music = no
lastmod = {
    dir = ""
    style = {
        shields = "Glory"
        font = "glory"
        interface = "Glory"
        colorscales = "glory"
    }
}
 
Have one more problem in another machine (notebook WIN10 8GB GTX1050)
Trouble in fullscreen and windowed mode not working.
I cant reach down and right sides, see just up and left sides.

The flickering cursor problem sounds like a DirectX thing. Do you have the latest graphics drivers for your system?

The off-center menu looks like it's trying to center in a much larger resolution. Are screen size settings correct for that screen?

Do you experience similar flickering in any other games, program or simly running Windows? Or only in FtG?
Does it only flicker if you are using the handcursor of FtG or the normal arrow cursor too?
You have version 1.2 of FtG installed?
Steam version? CD? GOG?

Code:
moddebug = yes
runbackground = no
gui = {
    language = "l_English"
}
graphics = {
    size = {
        x = 1920
        y = 1080
    }
    fullscreen = yes
}
music = no
lastmod = {
    dir = ""
    style = {
        shields = "Glory"
        font = "glory"
        interface = "Glory"
        colorscales = "glory"
    }
}

moddebug = yes
enables more detailed errors when you are trying to mod something or are searching for errors in mods. If you are just playing the vanilla game or playing mods without modding yourself you can put that to no. All you lose is some logfiles content.

Is the graphic size of 1920 X 1080 the native resolution of your monitor? If not try that.

Do you have any other programs running in the background that might make FtG stutter? e.g. Windows Index Service? If so stop or disable those programs.

"Windowed mode requires 16bit display. Check your Display control panel before starting the game again after selecting this mode in the Settings."
Windows 10 might be set to 32bit display while FtG needs less.

Steam version? CD? GOG?

When Steam, then one of the first steps should be to verify the integrity of your local files within Steam

If the problem persists, check if your graphic card drivers are up to date

Nothnig changes...

For the test, I bought a GOG version of DH and FTG (now there is a discount)
DH is started without problems at a resolution of 1920X1080 (finally)
FTG can't launch with any settings...

Where did you install FtG?

The game will not start at all

If the game fails to start, edit settings.txt at the root of the FTG install folder and change x and y for the size in the graphics section with values for a supported resolution of your configuration. Check your Display control panel.
Any resolution are failed

Wait - you wrote that you originally had FtG from Steam, which did start, but had a flickering cursor. Then you wrote that you bought FtG a second time from GOG and installed it.

Which are you currently trying to run that does nto start at all? The old Steam or the new GOG version? Or did you install the new GOG-FtG over the old Steam-FtG using the very same folder where it was installed before?

Games are installed in different directories. i bought the FTG from GOG, because the GOG version of DH started up fine.
I even deleted the steam version so that there were no conflicts.

I think that this is a problem in the OS plus a video card plus drivers.
 
In your post where you wrote this

"latest patch FTG_1_3_11Dec17 "

you messed with the code so that you can´t be quoted for your text.

There is no beta patch 1.3 of Dec 17...?

We had a beta patch 1.3 of Nov 17 which is obsolete.

The Decembre patches were 1st and 29th in 2013 and 11th in 2016.
