Screen becomes dark-trasparrent while cgaracters are moving

I've just started playing Pillars of Eternity and there is a strange game behavior while characters are moving. Screen become dark-grey with transparency, so you can see some parts of background. Here is a screenshot http://my.jetscreenshot.com/25635/20150327-ctum-1344kb  There is also graphical artefacts appears, see triangle in the right bottom corner at screenshot and square at the left top corner.

It does not matter what screen resolution, V-sync and other graphic options I choose.

The issue happens in combat mode as well.

Just in case my video device is GeForce 9600 GT, driver version 9.18.13.4144 (updated on 03.02.2015)

Having the same problem myself.  Just when the characters are in motion.  If it helps, here is what I am attempting to run the game on:

 

HP Pavillion HPE Desktop

WIndows 7 64 bit

Intel Core i7-2600 3.4GHz

8 gb Ram

NVIDIA GeForce 210

Finally, I figured out how to fix that issue. It seems the root cause is overclocking.

I have a MSI Afterburner software, event though I use it only to lower GPU fan speed, there is an option called "Enable low-level IO driver" and "Enable low-level hardware access interface" I've disabled them both, and that helped.

 

So possible solution is: If you have any overclocking settings/programs - try to disable them all, and if it helps, then you can dig in what specific setting affects the game.

 

However I'm not sure all issues of that type are due to overclocking, but it was the root cause in my case.
