This looks similar to this: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=6973

Generally for graphical issues like this, it's a graphics driver problem. If you can update your graphics drivers, do so.

If that doesn't help, or even if it does, you might want to try a newer test build.

If those don't help, there's probably not much else that we can do for now.

No clue, never seen it like that myself.

You appear to be running some version of Windows, it'd help if you told us what you're running software/hardware side. Complete guess: update drivers for your graphics card, the game does need a recent version of OpenGL

Not really... OpenGL 2.1 should be sufficient. It does need a good / complete implementation of OpenGL, though, which often is not present in graphics drivers for recently-released cards that primarily target DirectX rendering.

You have to install the most recent driver for your graphic card, which bundles the required opengl libraries.

Not directly -- your graphics driver should have it built-in; you just need to update your graphics driver. Here's the openGL site basically saying that plus giving some driver update links for various manufacturers. If you're not sure what your graphics card is, I suggest trying Nvidia first, their website can let you know if it detects an nvidia card and can recommend the best driver for it. If that doesn't work & it can't tell you just what your card is, then just go down the list of major manufacturers on that openGL page.

Looks like Dilvish forgot the link.

He probably meant to link this:
