Serious Graphical Issue

[Erik]

Hi there,

I just bought this game this week after learning about its striking similarities to the Hitman series, which is one of my favourite series of video games. The game installed just fine, but once in the game the graphics are completely distorted, rendering the game unplayable. The same problem manifests itself in the main menu, during cutscenes, and during gameplay. I changed the default screen resolution to 1024x768. The shapes of almost every object are distorted and disproportinally stretched. The colors of most distorted objects turn white. I've never experienced such a problem with a game before and I have a pretty decent modern system. I also have the latest video and sound card drivers.

System Specs:
Operating System
-Windows XP (+ latest updates)
Processor
-AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4200+/2.2 GHz
Memory
-1024 MB RAM
Hard Disk Space
-160 GB (still have 80.3 GB of free space after installing game)
Video Card
-Asus GeForce EN7900GT TOP/256MB RAM
Sound Card
-Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum/7.1
DirectX
-DirectX 10

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
