Hi, I am pleased to say that i have solved the issue. The direct show filter solution didn't help me. However, I recalled that the game worked fine until i changed resolution (from 1024x768 to 1280x960) so I went to local settings/app data/divinity2 and manually changed the resolution in the graphic options xml. Thereafter the game worked. I suspect either a memory issue OR the game is liable to crashing when the resolution is not supported by the user's monitor (i saw a black bar at the right side of the screen during the loading screen). Anyway thanks for the extensive troubleshooting.
