Still, it would be nice for the folks at Ubisoft to hand this to GOG to figure out. Perhaps there is some issue with SMP that causes a race or some other machine-specific situation going on though. The setting in the end appears to have no effect and was just a fluke lucky start I had. The sad thing is that I looked up what Cicero is and it has to do with Microsoft accessibility features which are related to input, and since the problem I'm encountering is input related it seemed like a plausible connection. Or I could keep trying settings in ACT etc. I may need to just start the game 50 times and hope it randomly starts up ok. So it appears I'm kind of back to the drawing board. I might have gotten lucky on that one run and beat some kind of game or OS level race condition by fluke, which didn't occur on previous or subsequent invocations. So, it seems that the fact I got the game to work was a complete fluke rather than from my ACT changes, and that the problem that occurs may in fact not be 100% reproducible every single time.
I began a scientific method approach to try and determine which setting I changed that got the game to work and at first it appeared to be "DisableCicero", however when trying to confirm the change I discovered that in fact - the problem still remains.
