I bought the game through steam, and according to Crytek, steam was suppose to keep the game automatically updated... Well, my game is still flickering severely and the manual patch on this website still isn't working... so wtf Crytek.

My graphics card is an ATI Dual 1GB 5900 series

try this if you have an ati gpu
