This does work as I had the same issue on my second PC with the NVIDIA graphics card. As soon as I modified the game_options.txt as described in a previous post, it worked fine. Changing the Direct X or Open GL in the game options did nothing whatsoever.

The following link reflects how to create this file on the latter half of the guide.

The game should create it once you change settings under the Graphic options within the game itself. If its never loaded completely before, this may be why its not there. It would mean your system is using all the defaults (likely Open GL, instead of DirectX9)
