Do you two use autoexecs ???

If you haven't noticed when running sli now you have custom settings created automatically when you enter game. If you change these back to extreme, you will get full screen flicker.

I think it's just the "Post Processing" setting that gets set to some custom value that makes it work better with ATI crossfire.

After Patch 1.8 with the advanced graphics option, I set all to extreme and my SLI gtx580 starts to make the graphics flicker. Makes me impossible to continue the multiplayer.

Any help is appriciated.
P.s i updated to the latest nvidia graphics out by 1st June still not helping.

Same problem with the gtx480 SLI. Game auto set all Advanced Options to "Extreme" except Post Processing which it set to "Custom"

Anybody know which of the settings is the problem???????

I am experiencing the same problem with Quad GTX 295. I played few rounds without problem.

Wait, started with a Blue Screen Crash just after download. Downloaded nVidia's newest drivers 275.33. Played a few rounds on one of two North American servers that had received patch for server.

Shadow resolving incorrectly, and black screen when going toggling weapon sights. Later, began to flicker badly.

I uninstalled newest drivers, and clean installed 270.61 with enhancement 39 for SLI. Still no change. Game flickers badly.

All this began with EA patch 1.8.

Don't change the settings that have "custom" next to them in graphics options. Issue solved.

This sounds like the key.

https://secure.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=29620 Restart to establish "custom" settings.

https://secure.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=10994 Post-processing a known issue for multi-gpu.

https://secure.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=13689 Post-processing work around innovative, and clarifies problem.

THE FIX; What I did after reading tips above. Restart the Game. Go to your Advance Settings and Graphix Options. After restarting game you should have "Custom" in category. Save/Apply those custom settings. Try restarting game, or in my case reboot computer. Game seems fine now.

Good Luck.

[edit] Clean installed 275.33, and uninstalled SLI enhancement 39. Grafix seem normal, at this time.

I get this error also when I manually switch post processing from custom to Extreme. I could take some screens later too if anyone cares.

In the mean time, I just leave it on the default config where post processing is set to custom.

Gtx 470 SLI

/merged a few threads & changed thread title.

It appears as though if you change PostProcessing to "Extreme" on a multi-GPU system then it will cause flickering. We will investigate the cause of this and provide more information ASAP.

Thanks to everyone who's contributed useful suggestions so far!

You've known about the flickering for months, we have a 127 page thread on this issue and still you guys don't know the cause of this flicker bug?

I am still waiting patiently to play this game months later... will hopefully get to play this year.

It needs to be said.

This is easily the most dissapointing PC release since Halo.
