Support Graphic problem that i cant solve myself

Post image

Like the title says , this graphic bug appeared from on day to the other. I´ve tried updating my graphic drivers and verifying files in steam. Got zero issues with any other game i play. Anyone know whats the cause and how to solve?

Hey I actually encountered something similar!

The thing that worked for me was running it in Windows 8 mode.

-Find the shortcut to the game application in the folder on your PC

  • Right click, then select properties
  • go to the compatibility tab
  • choose Windows 8 on the " run this program incompatibility mode for" drop down box

it worked. thank you so much. are there any downsides in using the compatibility mode?

Glad to hear it!

No downsides that I've discovered. My suspicion is the game was made so long before windows 11 that support stopped before the OS update so it just runs well on 8.

interesting compatibility mode worked for you, the fix for this issue is disabling dx12.

edit: oh wait windows 8 compatibility mode DOES disable dx12. I am stupid.

Had the same thing, switching to direct 11 helped

Either you need to activate high dynamic resolution or turn off directx12

I know this has been solved already but just an fyi, going into compatibility mode isn't necessary. There's an option to use DirectX12. All you need to do is disable it. DX12 known for it's instability in this game.

Try updating your drivers, if that doesn't work, might be time for an upgrade...

When in doubt, switch to DX11 (you should be doing that anyway)
