CoH not working on Windows 7

A good friend of mine said that when he loads CoH on windows 7 it take a realy long time to load. When it does and he logs in and selects his character the game then takes a long time to load then when it gets 3/4 of the way it freezes.

Anyone know of a fix for this? He tried reinstalling game and updating drivers.

This is fairly similar to the problems I am having, although it sometimes load in minimum graphics (despite me setting it to high graphics), but the last few times I have tried it does not load at all.

A Windows 7 compatible City of Heroes would be nice :-)

It is compatible. The issue most likely lies with one of your settings.

Right click on the City Of Heroes shortcut on your desktop and click on properties.

Go to the Compatibility tab and make sure "Run this program in compatibility mode" is unchecked. Look down a bit further and make sure "Run this program as an administrator" is checked.

If the problem persists after you've done that, try reinstalling your drivers. Posting a CoH Helper log may be helpful as well. There are a lot of people who are running City Of Heroes just fine under Windows 7, including myself.

We'll see....
