Problem is resolved.

I have found this solution on Lenovo G700 windows 8.1. No need downgrade to windows 8.

Just Disable automatic driver install like here: http://www.microcentertech.com/tech_cen ... 06661B.htm

Go to windows update and search for the new drivers then hide the Intel Corporation Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2 , WDDM1.3 Graphics Adapter - Intel(R) HD Graphics.

Go to Device Manager, remove the graphics driver. maybe need removing few times.

at the end you need to install the Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
for windows 8. and restart.

I swear you're becoming my favorite person the forums. Thank you!

Be sure to submit this to Support, too, so they can work with it.

we stil got other programmers for ee and aoc and mona lisa the programmer for ee2 patches working together to find a fix for it since this way might not work with all so we have to test on windows 8 users

Also the programmers for ee and aoc server i spoke with and im going to write to intel for a real fix to be done and see what they say.

Can you post the full link for microcentertech? Thanks!

I've tried all suggestions above but it doesn't seem to work for my PC, and EE1 (and AOC) graphics glitches problem remains UNRESOLVED. The symptom is just like the screenshot of solution 2 at (2).

My PC is;

lenovo ThinkPad T540P
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Core i7-4600M
GeForce GT 730M (driver version 327.68)
DirectX 11

Any ideas?
Anyone in the same situation?

Isn't there any way to solve this?
