My fried is playing this game and has had the black planets with the green spots on it. He has tried to lower his graphic settings, but he still has no success. Here is his DxDiag.
Make sure your drivers are updated: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/how-to-improve-performance-all-video-cards-driver-links.53165/ This fixes this issue the vast majority of the time.
His drivers still old: Code: Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Ti OEM Driver Version: 9.18.13.3185 Driver Date/Size: 11/15/2013 04:42:16, 18212232 bytes So ask him to remove existing drivers via Windows Control Panel and then install latest one from Nvidia website: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/75991/en-us
