There's still this strange bug related to Shaders with this patch. My graphic card is a ATI HD3850. When I turn shaders off, it works fine but is too ugly to be enjoyable .
The first release of the game didn't have this bug, but it had the Esc bug...
Are you still working on updating this game? I recently installed it again because I saw that you had made some patches but different graphical bugs appear now
I can see that your new game has similiar problems so maybe the solution on that game also works on this?
I have the crazy shader bug with my ATI HD3870X2 Too, Just Bought The game to finish It before I buy black plague! I am a Beta Tester too for ATI and I can say the new 8.2 Release will NOT repair this bug.
ATI Radeon HD 3850 here, experiencing the very same shader bug as everyone else. Appears after installing patch 1.0.2 and only setting shaders to Very Low makes it disappear, unfortunately rendering the game too ugly to look at.
