Description
Today I downloaded and installed No Step Back from Steam. After starting the game, there are a few graphic and tooltip issues. Some of the graphics and tooltips are not displayed (see files attached).

Game settings:
- Fullscreen
- DirectX9
- VSynch On
- Graphic settings: High

Tried already with VSynch On/Off and DIrectX11 and combinations of that. Also lowered graphic settings.

System:
- Win10 Pro 64Bit
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor 3.60 GHz
- 16GB RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (current driver version)

These types of things usually indicate a resources limitation in your system (not all graphics art is being rendered). Most of the time this is caused by not enough video memory available, although I find it odd to see this with a modern NVidia card.

Have you tried running the game in borderless window mode?

You could create a thread in the tech support forum for this issue (don't forget to attach a dxdiag output file that lists your system details), and we can try to work this out.

I tried to run the game in different window modes but nothing worked for me.
Also the game started to crash after a few minutes of playing. So I decided to deinstall and reinstall the game.
For that I had to repair my D:/ HDD hard disk (C:/ is my SSD). It seems that something went wrong due the installation
of the addon via Steam. After the descriped steps, its working now.
