I've search for the last couple of days in an attempt to try and figure out when I continue to have this issue. My computer is new (not quite two months old, i believe) and I started having this issue about 2-3 weeks ago.
What happens is, when I fire up my computer and load CoH, I am working off of my left monitor. The game opens up on my right monitor (which is how i have things set up), but when i click on the game/right monitor for the first time, everything freezes for a few (20-30) seconds. If I try and switch back to the left monitor (to run vent, Itunes, Chrome or anything else) I get the same freeze again.
If I don't start the game when i start up my computer, I can click back and forth between the two monitors without any issues or freezing, which leads me to believe that the issue is with CoH.
Here's my information and I'll be great-full for any help.
