How do I fix Battlefield 4 Dark Textures when it's set to Ultra Settings?

Recently, I bough myself a new hard drive (2 TB) but ever since I moved all my games into the hard drive only Battlefield 4 had some issues. When I go to Test Range the entire ground turns black including my character, but the sky and water is the same as usual, and the sounds function normally as well. Though what's strange is that when I face North all the textures are back....also when I downgrade my settings to high everything appears normal. I did not spend all my money on my new Gaming rig just to play my favorite game in High settings. I tried most things, I re-installed it twice, installed origin on my new HDD, used Game-fix through origin, updated all my drivers, updated GeForce Experience, and switched the game cache to the new HDD. Can anyone be kind enough to show me how to fix this or what I did wrong. I don't know what else to do.

By the way my PC settings are the following:

Intel Core i5 4690 

Corsair H110i GT

Aus Z97-A ATX LGA1150

Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB DDR3-1866 Memory 

Seagate Barracuda 2TB

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (reference)

EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750W

Maybe (I hope not) it might have to do with the components I have.

  • My current driver is Version: 368.22. So downgrading your driver fixed this problem? Would that affect the other games?

    @TheLegendCreator It would only affect any new games that just came out in the last few weeks since it may change some optimization for them. Prior to that driver i was on the ones from Nov 2015 and had no issues as well.

  • So it has nothing to do with corrupted data files or anything related to that....just the NVIDIA's "latest drivers" are causing this problem? (sorry if I ask too much)

    @TheLegendCreator its not 100% that's the issue, however many people have had similar issues as well as myself and doing this fixed it.
