CoH DVI compatible?

What version of the graphics driver are you using? That happened with me one driver version ago (I've always used DVI). Upgrading to the latest NVIDIA driver fixed it, as did rolling back to 185.85. I'm running Windows 7 RC but I know the "black screen CoH" issue happens on Vista as well, just not XP.

I was on 186.XX. I just upgraded to 190.XX and now it works great. Thanks!!
Yeah, the 186 drivers exhibited this issue with CoH, the 185s do not, and the 190s do not. Glad I could help.

Mine works so-so in DVI mode but what you described happens to me when I switch to HDMI (I have a nVidia 295). I can play in DVI but with some options turned off and image flickering.
