And for the record, the ATI 11.5 "Fix" drivers broke FSAA in IL2. I needed to revert back to older drivers to get it to work again.. The driver companies play with the standards trying to gain an edge, and when they play fast and loose with the specs you get unintended consequences.. its very complicated..

This is especially true with older or niche games that are not played as much as the newer titles. They probably check out how the new drivers work with the 20 most popular game engines and call it a day. Going back and testing with games that were released a decade ago just isn't feasible.

The latest ATI drivers 11.5b broke IL2 1946 OGL (flickering landscape texture showing where there should be water) It caused a massive 50% increase in FPS at the same time though, ATI must have changed something major for this kind of increase and such a major bug. Im not surprised AA is broken in COD!

You can see how many problems game devs have with graphics drivers just by browsing the patch log, unfortunately high sale games like Witcher2 get all the resources to get them going well, CoD would be way down the list.

really how do you know that?

I have a two questions though:

1. where is are new community rep
2. are they going to actually going to fix fullscreen so it is fullscreen (your more likely to get an epileptic fit watching the screen flash between desktop and game than sunlight on debris)

Just incase anyone says fullscreen is fixed, test another game out then try cod, its not fixed by anymeans, you should not be able to control desktop functions while ingame such as volume dials on keyboards, the splash screen is not ment to be overlayed on desktop im sure of it, as you see the splash a total of three times with flickers in between each. Also another way to test this is key inputs, if you try to make an input into a box that wont allow input etc windows gives you a warning sound, this happens when input is made to the controls, that means that windows is having a problem knowing what window is ontop, ie not full screen.
