I just saw that new drivers were released today, 195.62. I tried them out, and they have the same issue. If trying drivers out, be sure to reboot before testing. the 195.55 and 195.62 both work perfectly after installing without a reboot, but after a reboot, the problem was back. Roll-back to the 185.85 driver solved it for me on a GeForce 8800GT.

I've had this issue for months now. For me, it's a driver issue. Using the Nvidia 185.85 drivers, CoH does NOT disable desktop composition, it stays in Aero mode, and alt-tab'ing and window focus work exactly like they should. Any newer driver up to the 195.55 I have now causes Windows to disable Desktop Composition, and the alt-tab issue to happen. Try rolling back to 185.85 and see what happens.

Suggestion: PvE base raids.

Make it a supergroup team mission, where the base has to be defended from several waves of NPC enemies, ending in perhaps an AV/Hero attacking the base. Use the current GM level code as it is applied to Rikti during the invasion, so that all members can contribute. This could be a part of a trial or task force, or a spawnable event all it's own. It would allow one SG do it's own event witout the need to schedule with another group of players to do the raiding, and allows players who don't enjoy PvP to join in on the fun, and makes bases more than just a transportation hub.
