I dont know why, my game most of the time looks like this…

enter image description here

Here are my specs… if they can play a role in this.

Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 940 @ 2.93GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.9GHz
Memory: 6144MB RAM
Hard Drive: 984 GB

Operation System: Windows 7

I would say that either you need newer drivers for you GPU or you GPU isn't supporten.

The specs:

You card (not sure if this also counts for mobile versions of the card):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_R700

So it has Shader Model 4.1, which is enough (again if it's not a special mobile version which is different).

And you are sure you have the latest drivers from AMD?

You can fill out this and get the latest (I didn't know if you had Win/ 32 or 64bit): http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

Otherwise there is an autodetect program that should help you:

I hope this helps,
