CoH with 2 graphics cards...

Hi,

I'm running Vista with the 175.19 nvidia drivers. I have a GeForce 8800 GTS 512 that I use my main monitor and I have my old gfx card, a 7600 GT running the second monitor for stuff like Herostats, Mids, web browser, music player etc...

All other games work fine with this setup, but for some reason CoH refuses to start up, getting very confused. I've left it for over 15 minutes and it just sits there at the loading screen ( pre logon ).

Has anyone else tried running CoH with 2 graphics cards?


@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.

Coh has issues with dual monitor setups. Close on of them down and it should be fine. Long standing issue I'm afraid.

I am running CoX in a triple monitor setup with 2 GFX cards.
Never had a problem.I have a feeling the issue could be with the use of 2 different GFX cards on vista.Not 100% sure tho.

Nvidia have recently had some issues with drivers as an ATI man no idea what the fix is but search the CoH forums for 'Nvidia drivers' and hopefully some furher insight will be available.

I had issues with running two monitors, although it was limited to CoH automatically disabling the second monitor when it's fullscreen on the first.

Try disabling the other card temporarily, setting CoH to run in a window, then re-enabling it again. That worked for me...

Windowed mode works on 2 monitors
but whenever i switch back to fullscreen, my 2nd monitor cuts out again

I run a dual display system on XP with a 8800GT for one display and a FX5200 for the other. The only trouble I have is that if I focus on almost any program on the secondary display while zoning, CoH fires off a couple of random keys when CoH gets focus again.

You could try this trick. Maybe that will help.

That's what I thought - I've had to stay running in windowed mode, but because I have my start menu hidden I barely notice it.
