i've installed it and play it.. but it run poorly.. and it says my intel graphic card problem
im running this game on my laptop with nvidia optimus technology, i've set the launcher and the coh.exe to high performance nvidia, but it keep running on intel gpu...
somebody know how to fix this?
also, i've updated to the newest driver of my nvidia.

You're likely going to have to go into power management to set it for maximum performance, disabling the battery saving optimus technology, to get ti to work until they release a driver that fixes it.

They may already have an up to date driver. Have you checked within the last week? today?

something like this was mentioned elsewhere and apparantly a system BIOS update fixed the issue. Am tired so no links atm.

Updating the driver may be your issue. Depending on your computer, you may have installed a driver that is not compatible with your make/model of computer. Take, for instance, my laptop (sig). It is an Alienware, therefore, I can only run official Alienware drivers from Dell.

I could disable my hybrid graphics and then update to new shiny Nvidia drivers, but I lose the features that come with the official drivers. If you are running a laptop that uses specific drivers, you may need to go directly to your manufacture, not Nvidia, for drivers.

I am still running the original 196.xx Nvidia drivers that Dell originally released and am not having any issues with CoH.

(I still get the pop-up saying my drivers are out of date, but the game runs great regardless.)

I have never seen that, and up until about a week ago I was running 285.xx drivers. lol
Weird.

I get the pop once I start CoH from NCSoft Launcher after a patch, otherwise its just in bold red letters at the top of the CoH Login screen. Doesn't bug me any though.

I just don't know why that would happen, unless there is some option in City of Heroes where you have "asked it" to check for driver signing or whatever every time you login. Which I would disable because I know better if my drivers are up to date or not than a program designed to play a game, not update the computer.
