CoH not too smooth

[biff]

I'm starting to get into CoH and even just playing the training missions with nothing really going on I notice the graphics/panning is pretty jerky, I admit I do have everything on max. I would've thought my rig could handle it with ease but it appears not. Is there something I'm missing?

I'm playing it on the comp in my sig and it gets ~14k 3DMark06 scores so it's not really a slouch although not a powerhouse either.

Start messing around with the settings. When I first installed the game on my Vista system it defaulted to DX10 rendering which will slow things down to a crawl. It is also VERY important to install the latest patches since there was one from about 3 months ago that really improved frame rates across the spectrum.

When I installed the game I had to do numerous updates, about 300Mb worth or so. Every time I boot the game it says that it needs an update to run higher resolutions on Vista which I let it do. Maybe something with that... I'll look into it. Thanks for the heads-up on the DX10, I'll try that too.

I run CoH and CoH:OF in dx10 mode and get 30+ frames a second at 1680x1050 on roughly high settings.

What res are you running it at?

If you want, I'll post up my settings and save you the time of having to play around with them?

I took out the DX10 and it made a big difference, runs like butter now. I'm running 1920x1200 BTW.
