I have corrupted/fickering graphics

Support Home > Download Game Help > I have corrupted/fickering graphics

As a general rule, graphics corruption is usually caused by a graphics card driver bug of one sort or another. Our games have been tested on a wide variety of graphics cards, and we are confident that the graphics should display fine, provided the drivers are up to date.


Please make sure you install the latest drivers from you video card manufacturer:
