CoD with XP and D9

[Marc Anton]

Hi Guys

Iam trying to use CoD with XP, DX9 and the NVidia Driver Version 260.99 but until now (with latest patch) its not playable.
Any suggestions ?

Best suggestion would be to upgrade. I too had to realize that XP is simply outdated. Upgrading to Win7 64bit made a whole world of difference!

Patch did the same to mine, it was ok before. XP, GTX 470, beta 270 drivers

I upgraded from 32 bit xp to win 7 home premium 64 bit. The difference for me was amazing, no more crashes and far better fps. After the patch, disabling aero and Kegety's mods it's transformed it into a fantastic sim that is very smooth even with 20+ planes in the sky.

Hi

Yes, seems very familiar. I have the same kind of graphical problem.
I have been asking gentlemen at Simhq forum for help but it seems that it is related to XP being old and supporting only DX9.
Nobody at this point knows of any other reason.
And these experiences where just by updating to Win7 there has been no problem supports this a bit.
So we are getting more rare by day, us dinosaurus using WinXP

Thanks

Kinda sucks, but if Il2 cod is half the game Il2 1946 is, its worth it in the long run. I've been wanting to go 64bit anyway so itsjust one more nail in the coffin for my xp pro. Xp pro is one of the best os's I've ever used and I have no regrets spending the 100 it to buy my current version.

Hi

Just a quick question to you all gentlemen with graphical problems with COD.

What GPU are all of you using who have problems with XP and COD?.
I was just wondering that could this problem be related to GTX 4XX series as there seems to be similarities with setups.
One had tried to change the 470 into 260 and magically all started to work ok.
And I know I have 460 and there is at least 1 other who has 460 with problems.

At Simhq forums I have noticed many saying that game runs nicely with 285 and 280 cards. Which I find strange because even if they would have Win7 the GPU cannot use other than DX9.
So it doesn't seem to be DX9 related problem.

So I was just wondering if the common nominator could be GTX4 series.

Just a thought that came to me.

Thanks

460 has problems in 2 other games. Stalker COP, with dynamic lighting, and Two Worlds 2. Major graphics anomalies. I switched back to my 260 and all was good.

Ther defenitly seems to be a problem with the 460
