    Update drivers, update DirectX? I'd then try setting the settings manually in it's config files and marking it read only.

    If that doesn't work a new video card might be in order depending on how old your current one is.

    done done and done before posting but no joy :( My GTX 560 Ti only launched this year and I've only owned it for a few weeks. Had no problems until this :(

    I'd have to assume my last suggestion, patching/downgrading the game, has already been attempted then.

    Try uninstalling it, and re-installing it.

    Can't downgrade, steam won't let me (auto update). Reinstalling didn't help, though if I verify cache the DX11 executable always needs replacing =/

    Just as a FYI I managed to solve this problem.

    I was originally using resolutions in the 720p and 1080i categories. When I set my desktop display to 1280 x 768 in the PC category all my problems for this game and others were solved.
