Forgot to say: My graphic card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285. My brother has an ATI and it works. Maybe Tropico 5 doesnt work with NVIDIA?

Short answer; yes.

I would do so soonish as MS have stated that DX12 is comming in 2015.

Unfortunately I have the same problem here: Blinking screens by gameplay. I'am not able to play any game type offered there.
My technical facts: DirectX 11, NVIDIA GeForce GT220 (information by dxdiag).

Welcome to the world of DirectX games, my friend.

You can also wait until they release the promised linux version and play it under OpenGL. But a release date of "later this year" is sad at least. I thought I would be able to play it on linux right from the start...

Won't Calypso be able to help the people? Or do some of us really have to buy that new software?

You have DX 11 installed but again your card is only DX10 compatible.

Doesn't matter what DXDiag says; your GT 220 is a DX 10 card.
DX 11 is Geforce series 400 and above

Help with what? They provided the games requirements well in advance and as PC gamers were supposed to understand what they mean before buying any game.

GTX 765M supports dx 11 and it does not run for me too XD
