I've filled this out months ago. I have come to the conclusion that nothing will ever be done about this.

I have just downloaded the new NVIDIA drivers and I have no problems

I decided to test out a theory I had about this.

First I was running the latest drivers with Nvidia on Vista-64 bit

result:

Invisible cities, trees, boats, ect..

I then heard none of these problems existed in Windows7. So I bought windows7 and upgraded my Vista to 7. After about a 6 hour install program and looking for the correct sound drivers. I started up ETW and.... IT WORKS!!! Same rig, same Nvidia drivers but now I can see everything.

So I don't know who to blame for this whole invisible city bug nonsense

CA- for not trying to fix it

MS- For making Vista so crappy

Nvidia - for not fixing it

Either way I still see it in CA's best interest to fix this issue for XP/Vista users even if it isn't their fault since other 2008-2010 games I own ran just fine under Vista, this was the only exception.
