I'm no dev, but im pretty sure your system specifications are not up to scratch for this game. This is probably whats causing it not to play (and black screen) Nothing the devs can really do other than tell you that your PC must reach the minimum specs.

 

Minimum
OS:	Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (64-bit Operating System Required)
Processor:	Intel Core i3-4160 @ 3.60GHz processor
Memory:	4 GB RAM
Graphics:	discrete DirectX 11 GPU with at least 1GB of VRAM
DirectX:	11
Hard Drive:	1 GB

Recommended
OS:	Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (64-bit Operating System Required)
Processor:	Intel Core i5-4690K @ 3.50GHz processor
Memory:	8 GB RAM
Graphics:	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
DirectX:	11
Hard Drive:	1 GB

I understand, but it does not bother the system.

 

40% cpu, 70% ram

Video graphics strong.

I'm sorry, but you do not meet our minimum system requirements. Your graphics card is the weakest point and does not support DirectX 11, hence the graphical artefacts.

Sad to hear

As @SamMonahan pointed out, it seems like you are loading in to the world, during the middle of the night.

I think they may have made the underwater brighter to allow night time diving.

Try and type in to the chat in-game /sethour 12

this should set the time to mid day and see if your problem persists.

Your overall system is too weak with a ~520mhz GPU that only supports DX10. Get a new graphics card that supports DX11.

As I already told you, you do not meet minimum requirements. Your graphics card does not support DX11 and thus won't be able to render graphics in Ylands properly. Sorry.

DxDiag.txt

Hi, sadly after checking your graphics card specs (GeForce 210), Nvidia GeForce 210 supports upto 10.1. The DxDiag shows DirectX11, however, it just means that you have DirectX11, and that your OS supports DirectX11. You also have DirectX10 and DirectX9 installed on your PC, however, games you try to run with your GeForce 210, will run with the DirectX that your card supports - DirectX10.1.

I'm sorry to inform you of this and I understand your frustration - PC needing an upgrade is a pain!

Ddr2 video card dx11? Names?  (cheap,strong)

I can't really give you accurate advice, as I don't know your system specs very well, further, if I gave you advice and it turned out to not work so well for you, you may begrudge my advice!

What I can say, is that I believe that your motherboard has a PCI-E x16 Gen 2.0 slot, that your current GeForce 210 is plugged into.

And that I've used a GeForce GTX 750 Ti for this game before, that would be a semi-cheap option, however, it all depends on your budget and current PC specs, else an upgraded graphics card may not suffice. The GTX 750 Ti may be worth looking in to though.

Whatever you do, do some online research prior to buying anything, you have to find a card that will fit on your motherboard and system etc, and one that will provide the required technology.

You may be able to buy a second hand PC with higher spec than your current, for quite cheap really, as DDR4 is more common on gaming rigs now, and your current is DDR2, you should be able to find a second hand DDR3 PC with a more recent processor and graphics already in it.

Good luck!
