» Fri Dec 31, 2010 3:27 am just wanted to share this sweet little solution with you. I am running Crysis 2 with an ATI 6990 (5970 before) and had the same flickering problems everybody had. However - accidentally - I found a solution to this problem.
I have a multi monitor setup with different monitors and I wanted to try out how Crysis 2 perfoms with 3 displays.
In order to get this to work I am using a software called SoftTH. When I first started it, I couldn't believe my eyes: the flickering was gone! I rechecked it over and over, but it really solved the problem - with BOTH GPUs running!
You don't have to use multiple displays to get this to work. I will run you right through this easy setup, so you can check it out for yourselves!
1. get the SoftTH tool - go to http://softth.com/?page_id=92 and download the latest beta version of the software. make sure you download the 32bit version, because this always depends on the game and NOT on the OS you are running.
2. setup a config file - easy stuff. you can either go here: http://softth.com/config-creator.html - it's a small java program that helps you create a setup or you can either copy this default setup:
Code:
[main]
renderResolution=2560x1600
nonlocalFormat=RGB32
keepComposition=0
smoothing=1
debugD3D=0
zClear=0
vsync=0
tripleBuffer=0
screenshotFormat=jpg
dllPathD3D9=auto
dllPathDXGI=auto
dllPathD3D11=auto
[overrides]
forceResolution=0
antialiasing=0
processAffinity=0
FOVForceHorizontal=0
FOVForceVertical=0
[head_primary]
sourceRect=0,0,2560,1600
screenMode=2560x1600
MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THE RESOLUTION SETTINGS! I play at 2560 x 1600 - so you might want to change this to the resolution you are playing in.
3 - Last step - copy both files (d3d9.dll + config.SOFTTHCONFIG) to the binary folder of your crysis 2 installation. e.g. C:\Games\crysis2\bin32 (whereever you have crysis installed)
Now launch the game and enjoy flicker free entertainment!
btw: bad job Crytek for not being able to solve this in a timely manner!
