I’m having a similar problem. I’m running An Athlon XP with 1.35 GHz and 512 MB of DDR RAM. The video card is a Radeon 7000 (QY) with Internal DAC (300MHz) and 32 MB of RAM. Here’s what I’m getting. I’m using the ATI drivers from Jan 19, 2004 with up to date Windows fixes. Is my video card just too old or is there a fix?

Your video card BARELY meets the minimum requirements to play the game. But…

From the README.TXT:

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ATI® RADEON™ VIDEO CARD USERS: Call of Duty™ was tested and certified to work on ATI® Radeon™ cards running the Catalyst 3.7 drivers. Subsequent driver versions may cause unforeseen issues.

  1. ATI® Radeon™ 7200 Texture Corruption

Users playing Call of Duty™ on an ATI® Radeon™ 7200 video card, with settings to Low detail and 16-bit textures, may see black boxes appearing on distant textures. They also may see graphical corruption on some textures. These errors are specific to the Radeon™ 7200 video card.

  1. ATI® Radeon™ 7200 32MB Sky Texture Corruption at 1024x768 Resolution

Users playing Call of Duty™ on an ATI® Radeon™ 7200 32MB video card at an in-game resolution of 1024x768 may see corrupted or “blocky” sky textures in a few levels. To remedy this, either play the game in Safe Mode, or reset your system settings to “Optimal.” These errors are specific to the Radeon™ 7200 32MB card.
