Sounds like a GPU issue, make sure you have the latest drivers for it.

even if its the only game that does it? how do i know if i have the latest drivers?

this dont sounds like a game issue if you are lucky this is just a driver issue.

well there is many things that can do this, dont get scared just because i list to many possibilities.

1
reinstall of graphic drivers. or try previous if that is a newly update driver that cause this.
also try a rollback and restorepoint in windows if windows made a update

all things under here, imo. require skill and knowledge.
do get a friend to help you if needed.

i have even see monitor require degaussing but i dont think people have such old screen anymore.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

check warrant first, no point breaking seal if that cover it.

2
laptop see the manual what to do. some can be open abit others is a NO GO
sort of semi same issue if desktop pc , check for dust and clean card / pc while you are inside it.
do take card out clean the connection slot also, require knowledge to do so, if watercool dont screw this up , use right none static hover just to softly get dust out of slot
and the idea is reconnect card also to refit correctly again ( transpotation of pc and heat can in some rare case fix itself with reinseart card again,only watercoler dont have this issue at all, never hear of they had heat issue at all.

3
or graphic card is starting to get old, its a longtime ago you could gently very softly push chip down normaly they are in a box and impossible to clean, so most of this is outdate tips to do check

4
check temparature issue again clean fans also part of step 2, use either app from system or use speccy to catch or log while you play.

5
new graphic cards if card start to get more buggy as you mentions here, or is only this game ?
try other 3D games that is even more demanding the this 5 year old game that is not top requirements anymore. but is still pretty heavy if all full 2*20 + 2*20 full stack armys is present

but in some rare cases Overclocking can also lead to this or unstable ram that screw swaping up but its a longtime ago i have seen this, i only mentions this as last slim idea.

do see them as sugesstions only its still you or get a skill IT- tech friend to help you, and do watchout for static charge you bring inside pc. so many forget to equalizing yourself with equipment + softbrushes, again clean pc inside is hightech today and it almost should only be skill people doing this, not a joke. so many have done this and learn it themself nothing wrong with it, but with very expensive pc today, its not funny then you damage own gear because mistake we can make.

ok so its on a desktop, without taking the card out completely i have cleaned it and all around. i neeed to take it out to clean the connections still but still so far no such luck. i tried diablo 2 and there is no issue running that. it is all happening just with this one game. i have a geforce 450 i believe.

Try a 3D shoorter or car game with fast actions if card can do that, then it most be other issue.
the idea is to generat work load so you can test its not the graphic card maybe try a graphic bencemark tester. and do see if temparature is a issue, that is what old age card and they do become unstable, but as i said after cleaning some card can avoid this dust do hold on heat on the card and you just got that away.
but that dont solve if card already is damage by it a stactic charge by the dust, but most of the time we just got lucky and avoid a burnout card failur.

well i can only see on option left try advance graphic install and make a clean install then check box option is there. and rerun redist folder see read first support for that.

no overclocking - no mods if mods they can still effect game if used

last thing is update all drivers and BIOS from support place. if that is a issue at all, reason is chipset drivers and rest of pc will run better and optimized drivers has fix issue before.

but i cant see other last solution the do test with another windows account also, if this is a windows/profil issue,
and a reinstall of game also where you wipe delete folder + userdata area rename folder to ".old"
dont forget turn off steam cloud and other sync apps so they dont restore game data or saves

plenty of apps that can fix clean up windows i have mention them several times over the years.
if this is a windows issue.

gl, out of ideas atm.

and i doubt you have a spare graphic card laying around or in another pc, to test with.
