Try going into the ATI control panel and turning on application control for everything; don't let the card's software handle anything at all. Also turn off the catalyst AI.
I had the same problems as you and that fixed the issue.
Active (Freedom): Setna (Ice/Psi Dom), Arram (WP/KM Tank), Tesmiel (Elec/SS Tank), Astredax (Robot/Dark Mastermind), Operative Vidali (melee fortunata)
Retired (Virtue): Gaav (Inv/EM Tank), Baqra (Fire/SS Tank)
I have the same problem with my HD6970, it most commonly happens to me on leaving a mission but once in a while it happens in a mission.
I'll try changing the settings like the last suggestion.
Thanks Tsuji, I'll give that a try. I don't even remember seeing the AI option before you mentioned it. On a related note, I did revert to driver version 11.1 which also resolved the issues. Just in case Tsuji's suggestion doesn't work for you Outa.
I'm having the same problem with the HD 5750
I've tried everything I can think of. I've never had this problem till I upgraded my drivers a few days ago. There do seem to be several problems similar to this recently, but they seem related to leagues.
It really helps if you give us more info to work on.

I've found 11.5b to be buggy and I would crash in 10-20 minutes 11.3 seems fairly stable. I have a 6870 and 5770. YMMV
H: Blaster 50, Defender 50, Tank 50, Scrapper 50, Controller 50, PB 50, WS 50
V: Brute 50, Corruptor 50, MM 50, Dominator 50, Stalker 50, AW 50, AS 50
Top 4: Controller, Brute, Scrapper, Corruptor
Bottom 4: (Peacebringer) way below everything else, Mastermind, Dominator, Blaster
CoH in WQHD
11.3 solved all of my problems the game no longer locks up. thanks for the suggestion.
I have a Radeon HD 5770, and right now I'm running the game on recommended settings with advanced options turned off(after trying various setups with advanced options on; nothing worked here). /showfps command reports 60ish fps.
The other day I was able to play fine with older drivers. Don't remember which ones. Then I updated to 11.5 yesterday, and the textures would glitch out after a bit. Also experienced shadow flickering. I installed the 11.5b hotfix, which got rid of the texture and shadow issues, but now the framerate stutters every few steps and ultimately freezes after about 10 minutes of play, give or take a few. I've tried uninstalling the drivers and using an older version, but then the texture and shadow issues come back. This is the ONLY game I've ever had a problem with since I've had my current computer/video card(if it matters at all in terms of comparison, I can run Rift at mid-high settings with no problems). I also never had these issues back when I played before(played at release of both CoH and CoV).
Anyone have any insights? Something I might not have thought to try?
edit: I should also note, the problems I've been happening only occur in the outdoor areas. Mission maps have so far not been affected.
edit2: ran the repair tool from the NCSoft launcher. No improvement.
edit3: rolled a villain after reading a topic about people having some performance issues in Praetoria(character I was having the above issues with was Praetorian). With graphics set to recommended things seem to be running smoothly so far. Bumping it up to quality setting caused a freeze within maybe 30-60 seconds, however.
