Problems.

[Mattius]

I upgraded my computer from a Dell Studio 1749 Notebook, (in which COD looked great but ran too slow for me), to an MSI GT70 0NE. This beast of a Laptop is amazing however I am unable to get good texture quality when running COD. I attach a couple of screenshots to show the 2 x problems.....

1. No gunsight
2. Very Blurry Textures / Washed out ground!

I have settings on max. Any suggestions?

Try SweetFX and Natural 6 Settings from les... (search in this forum...)

I seriously don't believe that is the answer. It's like the fields have no detail!

I have. ALT-L Just brightens the area where the gun sight should be. Still no gun sight.

I'm sure it's linked to problem with field textures having no detail ?????????

I get something like that, it seems to be when the sight is not in direct sunlight, as if the sun on it is needed to make the internal light visible. Since the image doesn't move relative to the glass, which I think for non-gyro gunsights (the gyro sights came into use in 1944) is correct, I don't have a problem with aiming with the glass itself.

I don't have the problem with blurry ground textures.

It looks like you got some kind of bug with the texture settings.



1. Delete your cache folder and then let steam rebuild it, if you haven't done already.

2. You should try to change the texture setting during a game and see how it affects the visuals. The settings you selected might not have been porperly saved by the game. Try reducing them, save, resume game, and then increase them and check if anything's happened.

3. Delete all the conf.ini related to CloD on your laptop then let Steam rebuild them. This should give you a fresh config free of glitches.

4. If it still persists, try a clean uninstall of your videocard drivers, and reinstall them. I don't remember which drivers work better with CloD, but I'm sure there are some posts in the forum where that can be found.

5. A recent post on the forum mentionned that some poeple might need to update DirectX due to a new WindowsUpdate. The file to run is located within the CloD directory.

6. I have forgotten ! If you are running Windows 8, you need to patch CloD. Again, the tool is available somewhere on the forum.

7. Finally, if nothing is working, the last thing is to properly uninstall CloD (don't forget the files in MyDocuments) and let Steam do a fresh install.

As for the gunsight, it is probably linked as well, because, in the game, you can see the reticle even when the light is off, as a grey shade on the gunsight. can't see anything on your picture.


Hope you'll get your good textures back !

Tried all 7 - No Joy

sounds like a gfx driver problem possibly ?

tried seeing if there is a known good recent driver people are using for the same gfx card as you have in your laptop ?

Does a reinstall do anything different to a Game Cache verification in Steam?
