I installed it through Origin, bought it digitally. Installed it two times by now. Also tried the repair option.
However, I found a solution to my problems but it sounds stupid. I am a software developer so I know how important it is not to change multiple things at the same time to see if it brings better results.
I´ve spent hours, changing setting by setting, each time restarting the whole game to see if it has any effect. No success, always the black grass and rest of the glitches. I then uninstalled all drivers for peripharals I dont need, as someone suggested that it helped disconnecting them.
Again, one by one, each time restarting the game.
When I uninstalled the driver for the XBox controller the glitches were no more. Again, it sounds stupid but the game now looks beautiful. Just to test this I installed them again and boom, glitches again, uninstalled: glorious.
Strange how other people are able to play the game with controllers.
Hmm...I thought maybe the install method could be a factor, but I guess not. I'm completely out of ideas, I've tried a clean boot, Safe Mode, different compatibility modes, and system restore, I even reinstalled my graphics card, and none of those made a difference.

Have a look at the edit of my last post. Maybe it helps you.

I just tried uninstalling my controller and the grass is still black...that's really odd though, at least your problem is fixed. 🙂

So i had this problem also... tried all the wild guesses in the few forum possts that exist, which really makes me wonder that so few have the problem.
I had reinstalled Win 8.1 just a couple of days ago, because i installed a new GFX (Geforce 970) without installing the driver first, and it **bleep** up Win 8.1... never though that would happen.
Okay, fresh Win 8.1 with just a few software installation. One by accident because i attached one USB Cable to much:
DisplayLink Core Software
While i think this one was the culprit for, because it is really unstable even if no adapter is attached i uninstalled 2 more on the same reboot:
VMWare vSphere Manager
Virtual Clone Drive
I really don´t think those two were responsible, but both tap into Hardware somehow.
Nevertheless, grass is green, DA looks strange now, having played way too long with dark black grass and screwed ground textures.
But the point is - check your software and features for software you don´t really need (atm) and that might tamper with your hardware - reboot, try, hope to be green. 🙂

I had the DisplayLink drivers installed (and later uninstalled) as well, but they changed nothing for me.
Still strange how picky DAI is about some installed programs and how they affect the graphics.

That´s why i pointed out to remove any software you don´t need.
Still it´s an absolutely no go for Bioware or EA to have such a release. Whoever is responsible for having only developers test that game which is always a bad idea.
Let normal people test - they tend to find out the real problems. 🙂
But back on topic, again, since somebody just uninstalled an XBox controller (who the hell uses controllers, they suck :P )driver and grass went green - check and double check for software you can live without.
Maybe even Fingerprint readers can be the cause because they tend to use some form of "overlay".
The DisplayLink driver i have experience with both in private and at work and they seem to become used widely (even by HP in Port replicators). yet they run unstable especially with Intel CPU graphic drivers along.
I wish i could have identified the cause - looks like the few of us wo have/had the problem have to research it ourselves.

Uninstalling the DisplayLink driver fixed it, awesome! I wish I'd thought of that forever ago, I completely forgot I had that installed. 😕mileyembarrassed: Thank you, ndrag76! 😕mileyvery-happy:

Add a +1 for removing display link driver fixing the issue. Thanks a million for the suggestion.
