I'm having this problem since the new patches.
Under DX9, I can't even spawn, all I get is a Black screen with sounds, or rarely I see 5 sec of the battle and then I freeze out.
The game works with DX7, but that mode is a piece of crap, it kills my eyes and I can't concentrate on enemies with such ugly terrain.
What's going on? I think I'm not alone with this problem.
I tried to change module from native, but my game won't find the new faces then, and I see white face models and weird anomalies.
Also I tried a VGA driver upgrade, but it was useless.
Come on, I should be able to play this game..
