Throwing it out there to see if anyone else has this problem and if they have fixed it. Every so often I get a flash of the log in screen for 1/2 a second while in game play.Runnig on windows 7 intel 3 a Nvedia 1g video card macafe antivirus. Hoping I have a wrong setting. I upgraded the driver like I was told by support did not help.It's not happening on my old pent 4 xp 256 video card computer. Would apreacte any help I can get.

Take a look up in the Technical forums for the latest nvidia driver that works with the game. Just updating to the brand spanking newest driver out there doesn't mean the driver and the game are compatible.

  1. Go here:
  2. Follow the instructions.
  3. Paste the results back here.
Also, is this the same monitor for both machines?

Curious: why would you think it has *anything* to do with his monitor?

I'd be inclined to think it is a cross-linked file issue based on his description of what is happening. If it is, a chkdsk /f would repair it.

I would guess the question was targeted at narrowing variables, more than diagnosing.

I get that too sometimes but not during play it's during zone or sometimes if I use /unloadgfx to clean out the video buffers. I have a pair of nvidia 9600 in sli mode I think they have 512 ram not sure right now.

I've had some bad lag going on since freedom, starting to suspect the video cards but I didn't have any problems before freedom went live. I just put 8 more gig ram in the box so up to 12 from 4 now..someone had said 7 can be a bit piggy if you only have 4 gig and want to run coh. I see a little difference but still get lag. I update drivers rather obsessively so i've got all the newest drivers for cards, chipset, all of the above and even newest bios.
