I found the way around it!! At least for me.
I have a Windows 10 ASUS laptop with two graphics cards: an Intel integrated graphics card (for low consumption) and a GeForce (for playing 3D games). The GeForce has the problems so I right-clicked on the xenonauts.exe and selected "Run with graphics processor"->"Integrated graphics". And the problem was solved.
You can also select "Run with graphics processor"->"Change the default graphics processor..." for xenonauts.exe and you will not need to right click anymore.
If you want to add a shortcut to the start menu you will also need to change the default graphics card for that shortcut. So right-click again on xenonauts.exe, select "Pin to Start", find the icon in the start menu, right-click on it and select More->"Open file location". There you will find the new xenonauts sortcut and change the default graphics card for that one too (do as above).
