    the game runs fin right up until the second mission when it crashes. i played through with SLI off, saved my game, turned SLI on and tried to load in and it just crashes again,
    i have the updated drivers from laptopvideo2go for my 8800M GTX SLI, the COD 5 V1.1 patch but still can't play with SLI on.
    anyone else have this problem or a fix?

    I have the exact same problem, crashes in the same place. I am currently running Dox 180.43 w/ SLi ini. I am looking right now at some other driver versions. What driver version are you running?
    I will post if I get something working

    Fixed it, but had to revert to the old 178.24 drivers
    I was running the 180.43 drivers

    Cool, Thanks. Dox recommended the same version. What kind of FPS are you getting?
