[Fixed when I switched to DX9] Need some help with visual glitches

[Hitsuommy]

Hi, so, below you guys can see a screenshot of what's happening when I try to use the Community Patch, this is only a small sample, things are pretty weird, almost every leader has a visual bug, same thing when I start the game, a huge portion of the map is glitched.
Last time I played Civ V with Community Patch was back in November and everything was fine, I'm using the same PC and the same S.O. from back then so everything should be fine, but it isn't.

Now to things that I already tried to fix this:
- Remove the game and the My Games folder completely giving a fresh install;
- Made sure the game is updated, all DLC's are present and the MOD's are enabled;
- Clean the cache;
- Verified the game files via steam;
- Changed the install folder for Civ V (on the second time I reinstalled the game);
- Tried different versions from the community patch, the latest stable and the latest beta, I also tried both of them with and without EUI, same bug;
- Tried different resolutions and disabled vsync;
- Reinstalled Directx;
- Reinstalled video drivers;
- Used the Radeon Settings App to modify the default profile for the game (it was created automatically when the game first launched), didn't work, then I deleted the profile, didn't work too;
- Checked other games to see if anything was going to happen (checking if the problem is in the gpu) and nothing happened, I played Diablo 3, Outlast and Dota 2 just fine with higher video settings than the Civ V ones;.

And how do I know that the bug is not on the game? I can set up and play just fine if I use the "Single Player" option, the glitches only appear after enabling the Community Patch list of mods.

I replied to you in the other thread. In addition to my previous reply - in my case (more than a year ago), it also started all of the sudden, I did not change anything. So I though it was caused by an automatic gpu driver's update, but even rolling back to an older version did not help. Try turning things off in the video settings or wait for me to post the screenshot of my settings.

Oh, you already replied there while I was typing. Hmm, maybe the glitches are not limited to nVidias only. The nVidia card was the only common denominator we could find (the sample was not too big though, about 5 people if I remember well).

The glitches in your screen are so similar to the ones we were having though. Would post another from within the game? In my case it was black squares often littered with red dots instead of some icons and buttons and they usually started to show up after a few turns. But some people were already seeing the squares in the civ selection screen - like you.

There was a known bug where sometimes having the "GPU Texture Decode" video option turned on would create this sort of artifacting in the UI textures. If you haven't already, try turning that off in the video settings.

I'll check but I'm pretty sure it is already disabled.

What mods do you use other than VP?

None, just the Community Patch.
