    ...use DirectX 7, not 9. Open CoD2 MP, go to "Options", then "Graphics" and choose DirectX 7 on the left.

    Although some of you might not have that option... Some of my mates in France don't have that option. Still looking into it...

    Christ! He knows his tweaks! Wonder if these tweaks have similar effects with DirectX 7... I'll have a look tonight!

    Thanks CyberGhost! :D

    I've noticed some stuttering in dx7 mode with the new drivers. Didn't really have anything running in the background so it very well could be the drivers.

    Why have direct X 9 in it at all if it cant even run well on Drappers hi end card. The game will be dead befoire we all have cards that can run Dx9 well COD 4 will be out by then.

    max I've got is about 60 fps (all up high)

    but average is about 40.

    They should rename the DX7 option to " Make COD2 look like COD 1" button
