drakolowe, i have exactly the same problem- my graphics card can run direct x 10 fine, it runs cod mod 2 like a dream. however, as soon as i try and use direct x 10 on avp (through clicking on "run game in direct x 11) the game screws up, crashes frequently and for no apparent reason, and during cinematics, simply crashes. I have no idea why this is since my computer is far above the recommended specification. Any help would really be appreciated - seems like a bit of a waste of direct x 10,
