Anyone running CoD under Windows XP ?

[SEE]

I have a bottom end spec

4Gb Ram - XPsp3 - GTS250 (512mb) - Dual Core E5400 2,7Ghz

Screen Res 1280x768

Nvidia control panel set to default (no triple buffering, etc)

VideoSettings Low except for Model Detail/Effects which are medium. Trees, grass, roads, shadows all off.

I have a minor artifact that suddenly shows up all the time (ringed in the pic below) and can be seen in the other screenshots. Nothing major and runs well enough untill the fixes and upgraded CPU/GFX card are fitted.

Combat over Sea is acceptable and, as can be seen, fps drops as ac get closer and debris starts to fly off. These are momentary drops and still acceptable. Switch mirrors 'off' and FPS increases but not necessary most of the time.

i am usiing the dx9 that came with the game, no luck, tried runing the game in a window, no luck, i tried drivers, settings, visability distance, nothing gets rid of green sea and general texture corruption

I had the green sea to (win XP, latest catalyst, HD6870). With the settings as attached in the message the game has no green see/ corrupt textures. AA / AF all turned off.

I didn't touch my config but noticed that my Nvidea driver is the one that came with the GTS250 v182....your driver is much newer than mine. Not sure that can help but the FAQ say that rolling back to an earlier driver can help with graphic glitches. All the best, it must be infuriating....

my conf is back to default as nothing helped, i have tried countless nvidia drivers and even now have directx 10 on my windows xp, the game still wont work. i ordered win 7 64 bit and a new cpu yesterday, i have been thinking of upgrading for a while and this has pushed me towards it. i have read that most people using win 7 64 bit are playing the game ok, i just hope i can join them

I installed it under 32-bit Win XP and it ran so badly as to be useless. Last night I installed 64-bit Win 7 and it runs much, much better.

I haven't had a chance to benchmark it, but the FPS is much improved and I can fly over the water quite smoothly. Flying over the land is still a FPS killer but can be done for sightseeing with the settings turned down.

If you are serious about continuing with CloD, I would suggest Win 7 as a good way forward. But we really need some optimisation!

Cheers,

I posted my conf.ini at the end of my original post (page 3)

My conf.ini does not include the sound part as I did not touch it at all.
