No characters, just shadows. Both in game and on the select character screen.

I ran the file check (which said no problem) and rebooted. No change.

Halp?

I found the problem.

It seems my laptop can't find my Nvida chip so I am running on the 4000.

The problem now becomes how do I convince the machine it really has a dedicated vid chip?

If you can't make the nvidia chip work you can still use the 4000, but you will have to downgrade the Intel video driver.

"Its dead Jim, you get its wallet I'll get its tricorder."

After spending an hour on the phone and in a remote assist session with a Dell tech it seems that my NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M may have died.

My warrantee died on Dec. 21, 2013....

It's aways like that... Chinese (http://www.tsmc.com) Engineering for you.

Edit: Anecdotally, TSMC make the chips/dies used on nVIDIA GPUs. nVIDIA does not make their own chips ... lol
