I did a search and saw no post about issues with playing CoH on laptops that have Nvidia Optimus. Meaning they run Intel GPU when in 2D mode and auto switch to Nvidia GPU for games and the like.
My laptop plays the game great, but, and it is a big but, in the graphics options in CoH I only have the ability to turn on graphics options that the Intel GPU can support. My guess is when CoH looks at my laptop to see what GPU is there it does not look at the GPU running the game but looks at the Intel GPU for what ever reason.
This seemms like it would be a simple fix so I hope it can be addressed soon. As more and more laptops are shipping with Optimus tech it would be in CoH favor to run well on these systems.
I am also working with Nvidia tech support to see if this can be fixed from their side but so far they are saying it is up to each program, in this case CoH, to detect the GPU and they do not know why CoH is not fully seeing the GPU.
Hope you can help.
