Hello everyone!

Since I've updated my ATI graphics driver (to version 13.1) my Game looks as you can see on this screenshot (With "high" graphics configuration!):

especially attend to the floor!

Also a driver rollback to version 12.1 had no effect.

Additionaly I should tell you, that I've got the steam-version of the game

Do you have any idea how I could get back my old nice graphics?

EDIT: I should add some information about my System:
OS: Windows 7 x64
Graphics: ATI HD 4850
CPU: Intel Q6600
RAM: 4 GB

PS: Sorry for my bad english.

Try verifying the integrity of the game's cache.
Right click the game from Library>Properties>Local Files tab>Verify Integrity

Some suffered the same issue on Dota 2 and got fixed with the above method. Hope that works.

Okay I did this integrity check and it said at the end that one file couldn't be checked and will be requested again. Whatever that means.

Important is, that nothing has changed

But thank you for your idea!

Check your video settings in ATI controls. Might have been reset by your update.

Hi r3d_5haDow, start the game with the graphics options to low quality. After entering back into the graphics settings and select ultra or custom settings you want, it happened to me and it is enough to reset the game.

The 13.1 drivers are not supported for your graphics card. they are for the 5000 series and up. you need to roll back your drivers to the previous version. be sure to re boot after you roll back.<br>

Okay, I found out that also other games like Dirt 2 a looking very bad. So it really seems that the graphics driver is causing the bad graphics.

I think that I've already done a graphics driver rollback by uninstalling the new driver and installing the version 12.1.
But it seems that I haven't done it properly.
So what have I to do if I want to do a rollback properly?

EDIT: Okay I finally solved the issue by performing a driver rollback as it is explained here: http://www.brightsid...cs-drivers.aspx
After following these steps and installing the old driver version it worked very well again.
So the issue was really caused by my graphics driver and not by the game.

Thanks for all your help!
