On the latest Windows 11 builds, XP SP2 mode does seem to cause a fair bit of microstutter and frame drops, so maybe only apply that settings in problematic spots...
FYI: The English version of the game is using the Russian dub, this might not be that obvious for people, since some budget publishers would actually remove the original/foreign language dub without providing an alternative...
Resolution FIx and potential crash workaround.
If you can't select you monitor resoultion, try running the game with a wrapper at a fixed resolution (your desktop resolution) (enumurate refresh rates) and refresh rate (60hz) https://dege.fw.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/ (The game may need 9800GT selected). The game itself works poorly with a wrapper, but it should be stable enough for you to select a resolution in the main menu and apply settings, after that you can delete the wrapper files again.
I believe the game also works best in WinXP SP2 mode as it does appear to have some memory management problems, although the general instability was far too random to get a clear answer.
Also in the second level, I had to kill all enemies on the map, before talking to the main objective guy which trigger a level transistion. If I talked to the guy and tried to progress without clearing the map, the game would repeteadly crash on level transistion...
I have only tried the English version of the game, so I dont know if there are any version revisions between them..
You may also need to limit the Framrate in Nvidia control panel, at high framerates the main menu becomes unusable...
Posting this as I know it is a niche game with somewhat limited english release, the game was up on the playfire service for sometime (GMG), it also had a physical English release in India. The number of US or UK physical copies is rare to extinct. There was also a Thai copy up for sale, which I believe is the English one.

Re: Partisan steam report
Less janky method: As suspected the game did hide it settings somewhere... Steam comment translated from Russian...
In the same way, go to C:\Users\your name, Vasya, Petya, Kolya\AppData\Roaming\Partisan and already open the autoexec.lua file, now I checked - it opens with an ordinary notepad, look for the line rs_resolution there and put the desired value in brackets, I have the same value as you - copy rs_resolution(1920, 1080), save the changes and try to run. I plow, but sometimes dye. Then you have to delete this file again, start the game, exit it, open this file again and add the necessary permission there.
