Welcome to the forum, @Ethan_Friberg
As @ZwoeleBeer says, could you post your system specs, please?
Have you updated manually your graphic drivers? http://stonehearth.net/some-technical-stuff/
Also, there could be programs interferring with the game, or even your antivirus.
Other than that, if you’re playing with the 64bit version of the game, try playing with the 32bit version. Or try to lower your game settings to see if it helps.
