Annoying graphic bug

[LaserPL]

So, Im new here, but couldn't find help anywhere. I could say, you guys are my only hope. So, got all two games of this series. First one was just great, no problems with anything, but when i starter the second, i was frighten... But not because the game, but this:

It appears only when the character is not in full light, so like... The whole time?

Got Ati Radeon HD 6370M on my Asus notebook, and cant find a good solution.

Please, help me, i just love this series and just have to play the second chapter.

If you crank the graphics all the way to minimum, does the issue go away?

As a generic solution, make sure you've got the latest graphics drivers.

[LaserPL]

Got it on minimum, even with Catalyst Control Center. This is the result:

And yes, i got the latest drivers from my notebook producer page.

Anyone got any idea? I've tried EA support... What a waste of time. Only thing they could think of was that my drivers are out of date.

Whats more, this is the ONLY game i have problem with. The rest renders perfectly fine.

If you've got no moral objections to Origin and aren't worried about bandwidth, you could try deleting the Steam version and installing the Origin version. Not confident that'll fix it either, but the Steam and Origin versions are at different patch levels so you never know.

What sort of hardware do you have, and what model / driver version is the video card?

I really hate Origin, but still... Ill report after reinstallation.

Ok, so its a double post but still. I found a solution (God blessed me this day) to this matter.

The only thing i had to do, was disabling the "Catalyst A.I." in Catalyst 3D graphic options. Now i can finally play the best game ever made

Update to the latest drivers from AMD. Your drivers are almost a year old, it's best to avoid vendor drivers.

The problem with this is that the driveers from AMD wont work with this laptop. You have to get them from ASUS. I used to have a converter that would make the regular drivers work with a laptop for any system, but it was years ago and I cant remember what it was.
