Horrible Texture Errors

[Vordhosbn]

Hi,

I've searched high and low, both through Google and the many pages on these forums, to try and find a solution to this graphical error I'm getting. I see tons of topics about corrupt/weird graphics, but none of them are quite what I'm seeing.

I'm playing in DX11, all settings lowest. The game doesn't run extremely slow, does get laggy in the late game on larger maps but not to the point it becomes too bad to play. It's just these corrupt textures that are making life difficult. They don't seem to show up until past turn 100, and only once a certain amount of map has been explored I think.

Screenshot and DXdiag attached. Video drivers are up to date (or should be, I updated them a couple of weeks ago), PC is running fine...I'm guessing it's just a "bad graphics card" problem, but I would love it if there was some solution or workaround. I haven't tried DX9 because I much prefer the visuals of DX11, but if that's the only other option then I guess that'll be next

Any help will be much appreciated, thanks.

I'd honestly not attempt to play in DX11 with that graphics card.
It doesn't even fully support it (it's a DX10 card), and it's also a slow one. IMHO DX9 is the way to go.

Ah well, I guessed that was the likeliest problem, never upgraded from the standard "budget" card that came with the PC

Wish there was some solution other than sticking to DX9, but thanks for the reply anyway...good graphics isn't what makes Civ so addictive so I'll suck it up and keep away from DX11.
