This might be specific to my unique setup. To reproduce this issue externally, you should use a setup similar to mine (an AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 Series GPU with 1GB Video RAM). This issue might be only AMD Radeon related.

Reproduced for 405.

@Balec Fares deCani This issue seems to be AMD Radeon related.
I tried Intel HD Graphics 2000 GPU on the same pc
and I am not seeing this happening with Intel HD 2000.

More details:
@Balec Fares deCani I had to install Ubuntu 14.04 to my pc to test, if I can reproduce this issue on Ubuntu.
This issue is not reproducing in Ubuntu Linux with AMD Radeon HD 6670 GPU at all.
This issue seems to be AMD Radeon HD 6670/Win10/a directional thing related.
I have already the newest drivers for AMD Radeon 6670 installed for my Win10 and I have been using the same drivers for Radeon 6670 GPU for a long time (almost for 12 months) in Win10.
Vertas is unplayable in Win10 with my AMD Radeon HD 6670 GPU.
So each time I wanna play in Vertas, I have to exit Windows and play the Vertas part using my Ubuntu OS.
This is very inconvenient and disturbing.

Workaround for the issue: Exit Windows and restart the pc to Ubuntu, if you want to play in Vertas with AMD Radeon HD 6670 GPU on my pc.

Reset AMD Radeon software to "Factory Defaults" has resolved this issue.
