I've reinstalled the CoX games last night only to find out on my new comp, that windows 7 is not allowing the game to load correctly. Does anyone know of a patch from the game or windows themself to help out?

The game loads fine, once sign in screen appears screen starts to flicker very fast. I have messed with screen res and refresh rates, no changes and can only assume that it is windows 7. Any kind of help would be appreciated. thank you.

Video drivers is what I would look at.

I had the same problem with an older PC running win 7. Had to go looking for a legacy driver that would work.

Please post the output from CoH Helper. Specifically, check your video card's drivers (that's what it sounds most like). It's likely that if you have a new computer fresh from the OEM, that the drivers are horribly out of date (most are VERY lazy about updating them, even if nvidia/amd have released new ones).

CoH has some funky behavior with UAC (or did, back when Vista was new), but nothing at all like that.

yeah, sounds like a driver issue if the screen's going out of wack.
