He upgraded from vista 64 to 7 - which I did on two pcs. First one was a laptop using beta and I get better performance with coh now. (at 8200 video) and a desktop which seems to have fixed my driver not responding with my 260 gtx and updated nvidia win 7 drivers.

I would get the latest cat drivers from amd for win 7 64 bit. Also check your coh.exe to see if it is running with admin rights (i think it needs to). I have not had one issue with win 7 beta or now rc that I can see and I can actually run up to 4 instances of coh smoothly. (granted it is an i7 with 9 GB ram)

Grabbed the latest Cat drivers for win 7 (didn't even know they had them available!) but alas, same issue.

Let me add some details, see if anyone can point me to any possible resolutions:

Running CoH on a laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics card. Ran smooth as butter in Vista 64...everything maxed out, not a single glitch ever.

Did an upgrade install of Windows 7 on top of my existing OS. Everything went swimmingly, no errors at all, all devices recognized and running fine. Only app that does not run correctly is CoH. Every time I would try and launch it, it would spin for a few seconds, and then come back with a "City of Heroes is being shut down" error.

I made sure all of my drivers were updated. They looked fine, using Windows Update. I tried all of the various switches I could find, and none of them made a difference.

So I upgraded my drivers to the catalyst Vista 64 drivers. Now I could get CoH to launch, but I got strobing video (flashing all over the place. I could get on, log on, everything worked, but video wise it was unplayable.)

This point I did a fresh install of CoH. Same issue. So I rolled back the driver to the Windows 7 driver version. Now I can get the game to launch, but I still have the strobing video problem.

So, before i go back and re-format and re-install everything again, does anyone have any ideas about what may be wrong? I think that since I'm going to be re-formatting and re-installing, I may go ahead and do a completely clean install of Windows 7 instead of an upgrade before i go back to Vista. But any advice would be appreciated!

I appear to be one of the poor saps that is having a problem after install. Every time I try and launch CoH, it shuts down before I get to the logon screen. I've tried various switches and starting in safe mode, but so far nothing has helped at all.

I'm thinking about doing a fresh install, but if anyone has any suggestions before I re-install CoH, I'd appreciate it!

After trying to show the new wormhole to some of my SG mates, my jaw dropped when the power didn't scatter the mobs to the four winds from knockback - it piled them up neatly into a disoriented, knockdown-ed heap!

I was actually kind of stunned for a bit - looks like I can really use this as a control power. No need for a wall/obstacle to push the mobs against even, like we had to on test. It's quite powerful and manipulable in it's current live form.

And I have a respec so I can figure out how to work teleport foe into my build again.

Huh. Not what I experienced last night. I was scattering foes to the four winds with Wormhole. But I only used it a few times, I'll play some more tonight, see what's up.

As a recent wormhole newbie, I'm still trying to get a handle on the best way to use it...seems like a very involved power to use: Obtain Target, activate, target destination, cross fingers, click. But I was using it quite effectively tonight against FFG in the Respec Mission. So I for one would like to see Wormhole remain as is, and I would love to see the Propel with the AoE disorientate at target spot. That just sounds so cool!

But, I now have my respec, so we'll see what the future brings...

Dangit...now you have my Alt-itis itching...just when I was making headway with my controller...
