Running XP SP2 here and I don't seem to be getting any self shading/shadowing (whatever you call it), just the gradual dimming of parts which aren't exposed to the sun. There are screens a few posts up showing self shading on XP so I'm pretty confused as to why it doesn't work on my pc...
Any ideas anyone?

Yes, for WinXP users, with the patched version, if your game stops at 95% while loading a mission, you must turn Grass OFF

I have a strange problem with the patched version: I have to turn Grass OFF because I run WinXP. Since, the sea looks very strange:


The solution is there if you only change one setting:

Change Forest = NONE




I hope this helps some WinXP users like me....
I have this from somebody else who mentioned it in a thread, unfortunately did not keep his name (nor the thread)

Hi,
Installed COD over the weekend. Initial experience was quite frustrating, graphic corruption, CTDs. Once I read the forums and began tweaking (forest & grass off, affinity mask, etc.) things have improved considerably. I’ve found that turning off AA/AF and changing to performance settings on card increased FPS at the expense of further graphics corruption. So what’s working best now is keeping texture setting on quality, turning AA and AF down to 2x and vsync on.
I can now play the quick missions. Regular missions are still problematic. Over water I average 30-40 fps and over land about 10 fps less. There is some stuttering in either case. Strangely, lowering the number of default planes doesn’t seem to have a tremendous affect on frame rate.
