Some game elements disappearing

Hello everybody,
I'm having a problem with my game that makes it so that a few elements become transparent and the layers seem to be messed up. As far back as I can remember (I stopped playing for a while, only went back to it yesterday with this new problem added) I don't think it ever happened to me before. I tried using the launcher to fix the problem since it changes a few visual options but the game just won't run when I start it with the launcher, I get an error message saying: "Your 3D accelerator card and/or your video card could not be initialized properly. "Please update the drivers for you 3D and/or video card. Contact you manufacturer to obtain the latest drivers." I tried updating the drivers and directX, even installing directX 9.0c since it was the version used in the time but nothing did it so I'm turning to you people from the forums to help me fix my problem!
My system specs are:
CPU: i7-3770 3.4 GHz
Ram: 8GB
GPU: R9 270X 2GB
DirectX 11
OS: Windows 8.1
Monitor resolution: 1920*1080

Here's a screenshot of the problem:

I searched the forum quite a bit but nowhere did I find any mention of this problem and the search fonction is disabled so no way to do a proper search to make sure it wasn't already addressed in the last pages. Thanks in advance for the help if you can provide it! :D

That looks like a depth buffer problem; probably caused by your graphics card driver. Have you used a tweak tool to change the z buffer bit depth or anything else relating to the z buffer?

I redownloaded the drivers following your suggestion and now it works, I guess I had done something wrong the first time. Thanks a lot! Still can't get the launcher to work though...

If it was just Montreal. Should have kept it like that. That is how they played tonight.
If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know
