Install an older version of the game, and play it. Google is your friend in this....
What is the need to be so bitter? OP has been kind and after all he bought the game following what were the suggested specs at the time, so what's the problem with you??
It's the first time when I can play a game in high and after an update I can't even get to the main menu.
So why you don't update the System Requirements in the steam store page? Some other people like me can't play the game now, you know.
An I3 processor is also not a good match, but lets start with upgrading your video card. A quick search on newegg shows that 4 GB Video cards start as low as $100. Be Warned, these are bottom of the line gaming cards. I would recommend no less than 6 GB vram, but they start at around $230. These will last you much longer than the 4 GB cards will.

When buying computer components you have to think along at least two lines. 1, how much does it cost me right now for what I get. 2, how long will it be before I have to replace this again because it is too old to use in my favorite games? Also, Component lifespans are only around 4-6 years depending on a lot of factors. Longer than that and you either run into hardware failures or program incompatibility with newer software.
Lastly, Sites like Tech-spot have yearly roundups in multiple categories. give them a read.

Also, don't forget the power requirements of the new video card. Make sure your PSU has enough spare power and the correct connectors.
If this is all over your heard then it may be time for a whole system replacement. A lot of companies make whole gaming rigs. Just be prepared to spend a little. Gaming PC's are not cheap.
Your system is very old in terms of its generation.
To get THAT system to run the game better, min 4gb graphics card and another 8gb of RAM.
If the motherboard wont take another 4gb, its simply game over.
I always try to encourage people to learn to build there own PC.
I know it sounds horrifying to some, but its really very easy, the hardest thing you will do building a PC is seat the CPU, which really isnt hard, just be gentle and careful.
Everything else is just plug it in, and load windows at boot, motherboards come with great little bible books full of all the details and things to do and look for with problems, makes them easy to fix if issues arise, and if you have an old PC, like maybe the one your updating, if you buy all the parts for a new PC and have all of them ready, then your old PC, you can now pull down and inspect how things like the CPU go together and seat, AMD just drop into pin holes, very very easy user friendly design, Intel the CPU sits ontop of the pins with a tiny amount of pressure, which flexes the gold pins a fraction of millimetre ensuring connection to CPU gold tabs, you simply line it up on top of pins, and the lever does the rest.
These things are designed to go together.
If you build your own PC, the savings can be as dramatic as, 2000$ for a top of the line gaming PC vs 6800$ for the same PC at a shop.
700$ pc home made vs 2000 - 3000$ in a shop.
Over your lifetime, its one of the things that can save you more money than most other things, dental excluded lol !
You obviously never were able to play on ''high'' if you can't run the game now.
It is NOT a high demanding game (execpt ram)
I bought the game when it first came out, and back then I had a phenom II 4cores /8rams and gtx 960 or something, and could barely run it on medium.
I just tried on my old pc if it was still able to run, and it still runs. And this one never were able to play on ''high'', so you're telling me yours was able to set in on high and now can't run it?
You're funny
DON'T DO THAT!
Unless you can buy a new pc haha
3-4 years?!?
A pc can last you a decade, if you change the harddrive, graphic card after 5 years lol
(OF COURSE, it has to be a end of the line pc built to start with)
Investing 1800$ on a pc that you build yourself, you can give it a second life after 5 years just by upgrading some parts
Gaming on the other hand, especially with intense 3d games is a completely different kettle of fish !
Look at his PC spec mate.
There isnt a huge amount of updating for that system to future proof it anyway.
Its already almost a decade old tech.
Yeah but his pc specs are not even close of the one I had, and mine was a little above average for the time & decade old now. ( I just changed it few months ago)
I was still able to run all games on medium or low, his specs wasn't even that good 10 years ago lol
