Default CoD & XP..

I am posting on behalf of a friend.

Can I just say, I am not looking for advice, such as "buy W7", "update driver's", etc.

Two things:

1. Are there users using XP, and does it run ok?
2. Looking at the screenshot, have XP user's had this issue, and if so, did you 'fix' it?

He said other than that, it's playable, as in run's well enough.

Thanks in advance.

His specs are:

intel core2 quad cpu @ 2,83 GHz - 3328MB RAM - Geforce GTX460 - on XP with SP

I didn't have that issue so no fix needed. (GTS250 - XP sp3 - dual core - 4Gb)

I have the exact same issue and haven't been able to sort it, tried several drivers versions, conf.ini tweaks and nothing solved it.

I have the impression that older DX9 video cards don't have this problem.

I have a Q6700@2.6GHz, a GTX460 1GB and XP Pro 32bits SP3.

I'm migrating to Seven 64bits, received it today, I wanted to do it anyway to be able to use more RAM for other games and softs, but I wish there was a fix for those who have this problem with XP.

In a way it's nice to know other's are suffering the same. Well, It's not nice, but you know what I mean.

I forgot to mention that the sea flickers very bad, amongst some other textures.

The more people that post issues with XP (if that is what it is), the more likely the Dev's will address it.

OK, friend is playing, and suddenly the game went from what you see on the original post to this:


Happened during flight.

I told him to try clearing his shader cache folder, and it returned it to how the first picture looked.

So draw from that what you will.

I didn't have any of the GFX glitches experienced by many others (GTS250 512Mb using 184 series driver- XPSP3 4gb Ram -Dual Core E5300)

The 1 v 1 over the channel screen shots below were taken shortly after install with no patches and the only minor glitch is circled. You can see, like everyone else, fps dropped when closing in cockpit view. Since the patch it was even better and just playable with around 10 ac in the air.

I really don't understand why my system seemed to perform better than others and my settings are Model/Effects -Medium everything else low except Grass, Roads,etc OFF. Pretty mmuch as others with far better system specs.

I have just installed Win 7 and about to see if there is a further improvement using DX10
