Hello everyone.

The problem I'm having is really weird:
The cursor and textures are all glitched, making the game unplayable since I can't see the cursor in DX10, and in DX9 the cursor becomes a gigantic Petroglyph logo which covers almost the whole screen..

Technical information;

Windows 7 64-bit.
GeForce 9800 GT - AMDx2 5200+ (or something like that) - 2gb RAM
Steam version of UAW.
Latest DX installed (I think it was june something redistributable, I installed it after I saw the glitches, they prevailed)
Over 9000 C++ redistributables for lots of programs which needed them, if that is some kind of requeriment or something, I don't know.
Latest GFWL redistributable.
The game patch was downloaded automatically, I used to play this game with no problems back in 2009 when the automatic patch did not work so I had to manually patch it, since right now the autopatch worked I did not attempted to patch it myself.

I'd attach a picture of the battlefield with the textures all messed up and a giant petroglyph logo instead of the cursor just for the lulz, but I uninstalled the game in rage. I will borrow a friend's steam backup to see if after re-installing, the game fixes itself.
Yes, you will see more posts from me asking for help if it is still broken. And yes if it works I will also post.

PS: This is the only game I'm having problems with, apart from llamasoft's games but the support from them is ZERO (I hate those guys now).
Also, the game did work last year, a great game, with it's flaws -I think we all know them-, but really good at it's core.

Hi Leox there's a million possible causes... soooooooooo
What video card do you own? Model, onboard, onboard ram (or shared), etc.

One suggestion on the PC make sure to remove all the old files. I don't know if Steam installs the my documents folder but that is something to remove if it does. It could also be corrupted files. Since it is steam if you just downloaded them, or even if they've been there for a while you may need to redownload the game if something got lost over time.
I've had to reinstall games because they'd been on my hard drive a very long time and files were just not being found correctly for some reason.

I'll admit I lmao'ed at this.

Anyway, my theory lies with your OS. IIRC, Win 7 doesn't treat UAW too nicely, even if you turn off the dx 10 (which itself causes problems)

I'd check Gray_Fox's idea, it might just be some files getting corrupt.

I don't think that would be it, as I'm running on Windows 7 and it works fine.

Well thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I tried my friend's backup, nothing, then I re-downloaded everything.
Applied the patch manually from GamersHell, and thank god everything seems to work now.

Even in DX10 mode.

It seems my game data was corrupted.
