Reinstall DirectX 9 or 10. Try a different graphics setting for texture quality. Also make sure the high resolution texture patch is not installed.
Also keep in mind your graphics chipset doesn't meet the system requirements.
On it. I'll let you know once I'm done.
I do find it odd... even tho my graphics driver isn't as good as recommended I didn't have the same problem several months ago (like I said previously). :/
EDIT: I didn't find anything else (working) that reinstalls DX except doing system recovery but I'd rather not do it because I don't have a save point for it (my loss). I tried to "fake" the dx version through regedit but it doesn't seem to work or I somehow did it wrong(?). I did however do a new reinstall and this time I didn't get any of the dlc (including high res) and I patched the game from oldest to latest (tested each time with lowest video settings and dx9) but no progress...
EDIT2: I'd say that reinstalling dx doesn't solve anything because dxdiag can't find any errors and every other game works as they should. Also fix to first post: I have intel HD graphics 4000. And I finally found out how ro revert to previous version of the driver. Once I get home I'll give it a try.
EDIT3: Didn't work because I have a laptop and it doesn't support other versions... had to use system recovery to get the original driver back. Does anyone have any more tips what should I try?
