Frequent post-patch crashes/reboots from game

What do you have your Visual Effects and Damage decals set to?

No, I don't like it either - just says, "Aaaaggghhhhh, massive computer trauma" to me!

I now have VE and DD set to medium; shading to low; also turned roads off (which I don't like, because it detracts quite a bit from the lanscape IMO).

I tried setting the res to 1680x1050@60 instead of 59 (because my monitor's native refresh rate is 60, but CoD seemed to default to 59), but that seemed to incur more frequent reboots, so I've turned it back to 59.

Don't understand that at all.

Regarding the patch, I'm not sure how it will help people in our position, because I'm not sure anyone understands what the problem is - after all there are many out there with systems (and particularly GPUs like ours), who aren't experiencing these terrible reboots, and yet there aren't that many respondants to this thread.

Fingers crossed though.

I still feel I'm going to have to throw €300+ at a new GPU, although I don't know which one to go for.

Good luck your side after the patch - I'll let you know how it affects my system/gaming, if you want.
