It seems that the issue is gone since I've had replaced my single core AMD
Athlon 64 3500+ by an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+!

Now all persons are rendered correctly, but the game is much slower than before
(with invisible persons).

So please check what's the source of the issue.
Because CoD4 does not explicitly require a multi core CPU.

I am experiencing the same issues with missing characters.  No bodies, just
weapons, helmets, etc.  The last version that seemed to work for me was 1.3.18,
as several versions after this had the glitch (v1.3 patch 21, 23, 29, 36,
v1.2.3, and v1.4.0 or later).  Version 1.3 patches 19, 20, and 36 all failed to
run the program as a whole, no graphical errors but instead just "PnkbstrB.exe"
and "wineserver" running.  I am running on an Athlon 3700+ and GeForce 7600GT
(very similar specs).

What's the exact version for COD4? There seem to be reports in the appdb where
that game works fine ( see
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5934 ), even
with pretty similar hardware. You may run a regression test to find the patch
which broke it (http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting/). Do you have any
special settings in COD4 that may trigger the problem?

@nomessage89
What's your OS? What's your gpu driver version? The 3700+ is a single core cpu?
Does the demo have the same problem?

Not sure if you wanted me to answer these too, but here you go anyway:
What's the exact version for COD4?
-I'm running v1.7 of COD4
There seem to be reports in the appdb where that game works fine ( see

which broke it (http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting/). Do you have any
special settings in COD4 that may trigger the problem?
-Never done a regression test before, looks a little complicated just from
skimming the page you linked.  May try this when I have some more free time. 
It says you may run into complications with a 64 bit processor?  I'm on an
Athlon 64 but running 32 bit OS.  Do you think that warning in the instructions
would still be relevant?

I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 LTS 32 bit.  Current driver is Nvidia 302.17,
although this issue was still present pre-300 version drivers (from what I
recall--seems consistent with Hardy's findings).  3700+ is a single core stock
2.2GHz which I've overclocked to 2.4GHz.  Haven't tried running the demo
version.  May try that first before regression test, or may run COD4 without
any patches.

The game looks fine here and the bodies could be seen with a C2Q and a radeon
(2.1 Mesa 8.0.3, Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV710). I also tried taskset to 1 and
kernel parameter maxcpus=1, both without success in replicating the issue.

I get the feeling, that the combination of the cpu / gpu (driver) makes the
trouble. It would be nice, if we could check if the problem happens with
combinations like (Athlon 64 and (radeon, intel gma or gforce>8000)) or (Intel
cpu and geforce 7xxx). You also may give nouveau a try, but I'm not sure it
will run the game at all.

If it is a regression, the regression test will show the faulty commit and will
show a lot faster where the problem might come from. I don't expect much more
trouble for the regression test, because you use a 32bit system (even if the
cpu is capable of running 64bit, it runs in 32bit mode). Trouble may happen if
you use a 64bit system. Though compiling wine on a single core cpu may take a
while.

@Hardy Schumacher
Could you try to limit the max number of cpus to 1 and see if the problem shows
up again?

Rico,
I finally got around to running a regression test.  I compiled Wine via your
instructions and altered the command "sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3" by
changing '1.3' to '1.4'.  I moved my existing Wine folder also and reinstalled
CoD4.  After it completed, I got a Wine crash and the following error:
"Exception Exception in module CoD4.exe at 0017DE3F.  Error creating object. 
Please verify that the Microsoft Data Access Components 2.1 (or later) have
been properly installed."

I first installed to .wine by just running setup.exe with the Wine application,
but soon after realized this would use standard packages rather than the git
package.  So I deleted the new .wine folder I made and re-ran from the CD with
"/home/xxxx/wine-git/wine setup.exe".  I'm hoping that's the right way to do
it?  Anyways, this also resulted in a crash after it asked me whether I wanted
to install Punkbuster.  Any ideas on how to get it to work?  This is my first
time working with a git setup, so I'm still kind of confused about how I'm
ultimately supposed to get this to work.  Output below, got a pop-up about
"Wine internal errors".

PS: I've tried running CoD4 on my laptop with newer multicore processor and AMD
integrated graphics from an APU.  Theoretically this should run rather easily
compared to my current setup on my desktop.  However, running both the same
version of Wine (1.3.18) as well as 1.4 stable is unbearably slow and locks up
the system.  I run Linux Mint 13 MATE 32 bit with the latest Catalyst drivers
for APUs on the laptop.  I took a stab at open-source Radeon a couple of times,
but this actually seemed worse since it wasn't drawing to the screen correctly
on Battlefield 2 and was also unbearably slow.  :/

I can't reproduce with the demo and the full game (v1.7) using my setup
(archlinux x86_64 / wine 1.7.37 / i7-4600U and the IGP with the
xf86-video-intel-driver). 
Actually, I've never seen this bug with cod4 and I've tested all wine releases
from 1.7.28 to 37.

Hello folks,

there is conflicting information here (even from OP), but at least some people
reported it working for them, resolving 'FIXED'.
