Nope, none of the tweaks had any effect at all, sadly. I'm also having the issue of severely slow game-play, but at this time the graphical issue is my priority. I'm running under Windows XP and have scoured this forum for any possible fixes (which is how I located this thread buried way back on page 8 or 9, LOL). I'm at a complete loss as to what to try next. I had hoped someone else that had had this problem would have that magical solution, but I guess I'll have to break down and email Larian.

It seems such a shame that such a promising game has so many issues (as seen in this forum). I've bought and very happily played both Divine Divinity and Sacred Plus and never had issues with either of those. I plan on purchasing Sacred 2 as well, but I'm almost afraid to spend the money on it now, after having these issues with Divinity 2.

Ah well, thank you for your response, Raze.
