[BLUS30012] Call of Duty 3 textures flashing

[RicardsRikmanis]

Quick summary

Textures are briefly flashing on specific surfaces and models randomly. On some levels it's worse than the others.

Details

On some levels it's worse than the others. A good example is Chapter Five: Falaise Road. After the turret section there are serval checkpoints from which you can load in and experience the flashing frequently.

I have a small video recorded of the flashing in action, but it seems GitHub does not like uploading mp4 files, so here is a screenshot from it.

Tried running with default config, default config + wiki config suggestions (disable anti-aliasing), strict rendering, bunch of other setting permutations - the result is the same.

Side note, the patch for extending FoV in Call of Duty 3 is not working. Did A/B test before and after applying - same FoV. The main issue about flashing colors is present regardless if the patch is used.
