White glitchy border around structures.

Well, tech support asked me to come here because they could not figure it out. There is a glitchy white border appearing around low density houses and buildings.  It is bright, flashes at a spacific angle or dissappeares depending on how you look at it. I have repired the game aswell as totally reinstalling it. I have done many troubleshoots provided by tech support all to no avail. To help you visulize it think about the Green, blue and yellow borders that specify how the land in zoned, residential commertial etc. It is just like those but bright white, visable from region view and comes and goes depending on the angle of the camarea.

    Yeah, it's annoying. However I have found that when building density increases the problem seems to dissipate. It's only a problem when starting out; but annoying none the least.

    Would you guys share a DXDiag?

    Maybe there's something in there that could do with a little bit of updating or otherwise tip us off as to the root cause of the flickering. 🙂

    My DXDiag is under Spoiler, however I think it's more than a coincidence that both of us use the same graphics card Nvidia gforce GTX 750 Ti.

    I just bought this game and I have the exact same problem and I'm also using a GTX 750 Ti and I would like to know if any of you guys managed to find a solution to this problem, because I've tried everything listed with no results and I sure as hell can't play the game like this at all, I feel like I wasted money on a glitchy game. Is there any fix for this on the way or have we been scammed?

    Mine is a 750 TI and I didnt have that issue with the previous video cards. Got the latest drivers and what not, anyway  what fixed it for me after a lot of fiddling with it was Lighting somehow, so turning the lighting off and taking the refresh rate limit off fixed .
    I hope that helps.
