AMD users keep an eye on @CatalystCreator on Twitter. He posts updates regularly.

Rage3d has the new CAP2's... CAP's with new Crysis 2 profile (retail and steam) TBA.

Wow. This is just getting on my nerves now. This is more than likely my LAST Crytek engine game. Hope you enjoy my $60. It's the LAST time I give you one red cent.

Without any doubt is a game issue, not a driver problem, because simply using the crysis2.exe version 1.0.0 the game is perfect without any flicker!
The problem come in with the first patch 1.1.0 and also with the 1.2.0 but NOT with 1.0.0

It's so random. I tried rolling back to 1.0 but it was still broken for me.

The closest I've come to fixing it was to disable my physX GPU in the device manager, this controlled the flickering and all, but the performance still takes unexplained nosedives around certain sources of bloom.

This game could kill an epileptic person. I wonder why Crytek hasn't gotten sued yet.

I mean, Crysis was a god to people who are hardware freaks, and yet they haven fixed a Crossfire/SLI bug?

Pathetic.

This game was supposed to last me till Battlefield 3, and I just want to say this will be a long 9 months (thats what she said). Maybe the console version is better, which is disappointing. Crysis was an amazing PC exclusive. Now Crytek is being lackadaisical with the bug patches ON KEY BUGS. This should have been fixed with yesterdays patch at the latest, and to see this all continue just goes to show why being a PC gamer isn't worth it in the long run as companies continue to go to console.

hey guys so the issue is with multi GPU's and the ati 5970 even though being one card is virtually 2 gpus in one case so i still get the flickering

the fix i was using is running it in a window BUT this degrades the Anti aliasing, degrades the graphics and is just bich **** annoying, anyway i came across a fix that allows full screen mode WITH OUT flickering and makes the game look 20% better

this MAY NOT work for your computer but it does for mine. so if your using 5970 and having these issues, try this

1-use the amd GPU driver update with in STEAM (unfortunately), dont use the AMD website version.
2-let it do its thing... then play the game and BANG it works ?..
restarting your computer undoes this fix and you need to reinstall (doesnt make any sence but hey it works)
so run your pc as long as you can because i need to reinstall the drivers each time after restart for it to work.

also go into the 3D app settings in CCC. and set everything to FULL. turn ON use application settings and turn ON morphological filtering

i get a great frame rate and it looks amazing, hope this helps !

DX 11 announcement is great. But an update on fixing this multi GPU flickering issue would have been preferred

I've had this game since thursday 24 march and as of yet been unable to play it

any miracle fix in this thread or others have not resolved this problem
any driver or cap update from ATI have not resolved this problem

16 days and counting. This really must be fixed before the release of DX11.
Imagine releasing DX11 and not letting your high-end users try it!!

Please for the love of pete have you guys even found the cause of this bug yet?

so any fix yet, or at least a date for one?

I can't believe that after having troubles with Crossfire/SLI in Crysis1, Crysis2 is also having issues with it... really

And looks like we still need to wait "weeks" to see this problem solved...

*yawn*

Dear Crytek. we're still here. can we get an update please?

thanks

*snooze*

fix for crossfire
remove patch folder from game and start and voala it works

Holy Sh**, this seems to be working...

Im on a 5970 with 11.3 CAP2 non-steam

fix for crossfire
remove patch folder from game and start and voala it works

no, it doesn't.

why no effin' comments from Crytek though? nothing nothing nothing. I've been in EA live support chats twice now and on each occasion I was told EA has no idea this issue is happening "it's the first we hear of this"
Their only solutions (after waiting 30 mins for them to read through this forum) is the same miracle fixes found in this and other threads (which blatantly do not work)

Who supports crysis 2? crytek or EA? am I barking at the wrong tree?

I've opened new separate threads hoping to catch the attention of a Crytek mod, but they close those threads and refer me back to this thread.

game bought on 24 march and as of yet STILL NOT ABLE TO PLAY and your communication svckS

Finally, after installing CAP2 the flickering is finally gone for me.. 2 weeks after release and I finally get to play this game

Mine still doesn't work right.

Bought the game on release day like a svcker, too.

I still got the problem. wtf... why ain't this being taken care of?

i feel you bro :<

I got on release and part of the reason I upgraded my gfx cards was for crysis 2

Finally, after installing CAP2 the flickering is finally gone for me.. 2 weeks after release and I finally get to play this game

11.3 CAP 2 does not include a Crysis 2 working profile (that fixes crossfire flickering), so it's improbable it actually fixed your copy of the game.

Hi there, thanks for posting the vid in the OP, it's handy to have that kind of information.

We are aware of this issue and are working towards resolving it ASAP so that you can enjoy the huge SLI frame rates!

Someone needs to tell the Cry-Team what ASAP means.
