I'd suggest going back one version of drivers.|

For the Radeon HD series, the most recent is 11.5. I was having similar issues, and when I uninstalled those and installed 11.4 they disappeared.
Thanks, I'll give that a shot, see how things turn out.
Something else I realised I should mention in case it's significant - I frequently run two accounts on the same computer, and it's possible for one of those to hang but the other to be completely unaffected.

I had this issue with both the 11.5 and 11.4 drivers but have yet to have any problems using the 11.3s.

11.5 is working ok for me
Still seem to be getting the same issues with 11.4, I'll try 11.3 and see how that goes.

After stepping back to 11.3 I haven't had any problems yet. I can't say for sure if it's fixed, but going by my previous rate I'm hopeful.

I have a thread a couple steps further down this forum. I also went from 11.5 down to 11.3 and so far, so good.|

Of course, I've not tested it much in teams. One BAF, and then I went and found the most graphic-intensive mess I could by taking my fire/fire tanker on a x8 map with enemies who self-rez and use bunches of fire effects.
I'm so pleased that someone designed a mission just to stress-test graphic capabilities in the AE. It was quite kind of them.

Just throwing this out there in case someone is able to help me with a problem I've been having. When playing CoH within the past week or so I've been getting a lot of hanging problems. I wasn't really paying attention to exactly when they started, around the same time as the most recent patch but that could be a coincidence.
The game doesn't actually crash per se (no "City of Heroes has encountered an error and needs to close"), but it stops responding at random times. It seems more likely to happen when zoning, but it's happened plenty of times when I'm just running along a corridor doing nothing.
Given enough time, a generic Windows error pops up saying the program has stopped responding, I copied the most recent one here:
A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.

CoH seems to be the only program affected so far, no other games I play have had any issues. Anyone got any ideas?
