@MysticRose32 Is your computer a pc or mac? If your computer is a pc please post your computer's dxdiag - link - how to post dxdiag Did you try to start a new game and see if the issue is still there?
Yes, I have tried starting a new game, and a vanilla game, with the same results.
@MysticRose32 First the power of the AMD A8-7100 APU is below the required spec of 2.4Ghz Pentium or equivalent processor The AMD A series APUs do not provide real dedicated video memory to the video processor in the APU. The video memory is borrowed from main memory. The integrated video processor is weak for 3D gaming. The video drivers are really, really out of date. The resolution of 1366 x 768 is unusual and is high is it can be without add additional hardware to the video system design. I would recommend updating the video drivers and see if that helps. The Dell 5545 is probably an excellent student/social laptop but doesn't have the hardware for 3D gaming.
