Default I can only see the interface , everything else remain black (FIXED)

Hi

i got the problem ,that when i tried to open anything (U-Boat School,Museum,Missions,Campaing) ,i'm just able to see the interface (instruments) ,but nothing else like the water,etc.
Here a Picture



What i have done so far

- Tryed another Nvidia Drivers,Deinstall/Install again
- Deinstall the Game , Install new again
- Changed Grafics Settings in Game and also on the Card
- Window mode on/off


My System Specs are :

ASUS EN7950GX2
Nvidia Drivers (now) 96.89
3,2 Gig Pentium IV
2 Gig RAM DDR2

So far as i see , i'm not the only one with this Issue

http://forums-de.ubi.com/eve/forums/...4821013445/p/1

Has somebody an Idea how to get rid of this Problem ?
Thanks

Did you attempt another loading of the game to see if it clears up?

What card do you have video wise?

Some of the older models are not DX9c and up compatible.

Yes , everytime i tryed a new setting , closed the Game, started new , eben when i went to the museum or mission , and see that the Situation is the Same , y went out of the Game , because if i stay looking on the black Screen , after 1 or 2 minutes the Game will Freeze.
I hear also the Sound without problem , but even with a Black view.

Regards

What kind of video card do you have? We know it's an nvidia card... but what model? And what kind of monitor do you have?

I'm wondering if this might be some sort of issue with the monitor refresh rate setting.

Here is a quote from another forum regarding my earlier video card of choice.

I've since switched to a FX5500 with 256 and with water and weather to high things look wonderful.

So before you whine about a fault with the program check your viideo cards for compatability.
Find out how old your video card is. Changing and updating drivers are not enough when the card does not support the technology.

I agree. This sure sounds like a video card problem to me, too....
