Default Anyone try playing on latest Win 10 Version?

Anyone try this game on the newest version of Windows 10, the creators update. My computer just updated to it and AOD looks like a bad acid trip. I'm downloading a graphics driver from my manufacture to see if my graphics driver is incompatible with this version. I just want to know if anyone else has had this issue.

EDIT

Not a driver problem as it does the same thing. I got it to work by setting it onto compatibility, but it's weird that this is happening. I've heard some reports that some gamers are having some problems with this update. Will check other games to see if other games are effected.

It used to run fine one Windows 10 Anniversary Update, but the new Creators Update seems to have broken this game.

Looking into it more I think the problem might be how Windows 10 Creators Update scales applications. I'm looking more into it but I notice on another game, Resident Evil 4 on lower resolutions the game stretches the image with letter boxing on top and bottom. I am regretting updating to the creators update.

It runs on my PC, but I don't have bump mapping or shadows anymore. On my previous PCs I never had bump mapping, no matter the settings, but with my current build (with a GTX 980TI) they suddenly worked. I hope that Nvidia will release a driver update that will fix these issues since I could imagine that other older games are affected as well.

I found a possible solution: Try to activate or deactivate the game mode while AoD is running. Just open the game bar with Win+G and go to the settings. The game mode changes priorities for games, so maybe it helps with AoD.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn't work. So far the only thing that works is leaving it on Capability mode. It's strange that this happens, maybe a file got corrupted or something.

Today I've installed the game on Windows 10 Creators Update and I've experienced the same bug.

This fix worked for me:
In game settings, go to "Screen Format" and select "32 bit X8R8G8B8 32 bit A8R8G8B8" instead of "32 bit A2R10G10B10 32 bit A2R10G10B10".

The game works perfectly now.

Well... That didn't work for me, but I've enabled the "nVidia Shadows" and disabled the "Pixel Shader 2.0 Shadows", all other settings set to their maximum, and this worked for me.

P.S.: GTX 1070 card.
