Paragon Studios did nothing special (that we know of) to the game. Running in SLI was entirely an Nvidia driver tweak, as evidenced by those updating drivers and having SLI work before Issue 19 was launched or any other patches were made.
You can get in contact with Nvidia at www.nvidia.com
i'm going to call cop out - every other game I have that supports sli runs gangbusters. I updated after i19 when I heard it was actually running sli - there had to be some code changes on both ends.
Since the forum is not rampant with "sli broke" posts I can only guess it affects newer gtx
Actually, je_saist is right.
Check this thread for details on the SLI things.

And refer to the Issue 19 patch notes for a complete lack of any mention of SLI

Now I'm not exactly a repository of all knowledge in the universe.. but from what I know of SLI, it can work in several ways. The way mentioned in the aforelisted thread is based on nVidia's driver. The driver (and attached nVidia software) notice that City of Heroes is running, and gives you the option of using low level, inefficient, SLI to boost your performance. Any code that nVidia has in there, is likely not seeing CoH properly since we're a whole issue newer than what the driver update was made to address.
It is quite likely the failure of your SLI is caused by other things also. Try posting a CoH Helper and HijackThis log for us?
You can find a detailed guide on how to do just that over here. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=231628

One side uses mind police and will "disappear" you and the other uses poison gas and bombs on civilians. Hamidon? He'll just have a tree eat you. Much simpler. If we're all going to be oppressed and/or killed by someone, it might as well be the walking trees. At least they don't speak in annoying code or doublespeak. They just devour you. |
actually mystery solved... it appears that sli for whatever reason (nvidia or coh) only seems to "work" in full screen. If you run windowed mode, which I do..or well..did...it causes the frame rates to bottom out.
