Infinity_Pariah

but then why is it /only/ in missions and /only/ when the cursor changes? If it was a graphics card that can't push the game I shouldn't be able to run it on decent specs without any framerate drop or anything

Nobody have any ideas?

Well like I said, I had to put it on my Girlfriends laptop because mine is broken, and her dad gave her this one for free so I can't complain. But regardless the game runs fine with the graphics settings I have it on besides the freaking clipping thing. I've tried lowering all the settings, booting the game itself in safe-mode and everything. And I un-installed the driver, ran the sweeper, then installed the Intel driver, which seems to have helped, but now i have a wierder problem...

It still does the clipping thing, but only when my mouse changes... I.E. when I mouse over an enemy, or at the edge of a window (thus changing it into the little sideways arrows to re-size) or over an object... in fact now it is only clipping when my mouse has to change from the default cursor... But again it still does it /only/ when I am in a mission and mouse over something...

Well I've tried booting it in safe-mode and everything now, but it still seems to have the problem once i zone into missions, and here is the CoH helper data

Ok... So I recently put CoH on my Girlfriends laptop (mine bit the big one) and it runs GREAT... As a matter of fact it runs better than it did on my laptop, The graphics can be turned up, no framerate drops, nothing... but I'm having a slight problem.

Anytime I zone into a mission map, I get this weird Clipping/Tearing issue, where the screen flickers and I get freaky images of other parts of the map, and even occasionally a square of said image will get 'stuck' where my mouse is, and i'll be moving around a block of the level... Can anyone give me some help on this? Cause i've tried tweaking everything about the video settings I can, and nothing seems to work.
