Character, NPC and Enemy models not rendering

[Dolie]

I have a

Asus K53E Laptop
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Intel HD Graphics 3000
8GB of RAM

Characters, NPC and Enemy Monsters not Rendering will not render after the following troubleshooting attempts.

Updating all Drivers and the Operating System
Restarting
Reinstalling whole game
Opening all required ports


None of this was an issue prior to the most recent update.

Others have complained in this thread.

You you guys at SE fix this already? This is ridiculous; you're blaming Intel and Intel is blaming you. Why don't your companies work together to resolve this issue? I want to play the game... and I can't do that while every character, NPC and enemy model doesn't render. I've been playing since 2003 and this is really shaking my loyalty to SE and their products.

We have seen conflicts with some Intel HD graphics drivers. A possible fix that we can recommend is to downgrade your driver to an earlier version. As this graphics card is not supported, we cannot guarantee it to work properly, however this is the solution we have seen with the highest success.
