So with the latest patch xfire works quite well and I can get ~60fps with v sync on, which is good :D

However sometimes I connect to a game and have everything but the cockpit flashing from a bright to a darker shade, now I have to set the options from fullscreen to pseudo to stop the flashing. Obviously by doing this crossfire is turned off and I am now reduced to 30 fps near the ground.

To get the good fps I have to change back to fullscreen and hope the flashing has gone, if not turn off fullscreen launch the game and try again this can take a very long time as you can imagine.

So does anyone else have this problem and has it been highlighted to the devs?

Mods please leave this here for a day before moving to the sub forum, thanks

Salute Krupi ,I to get this quite a bit ,I've found 2 things that help 1st one is go back into loadout , repick your plane an loadout , then hit create (helps most of the time) If not back out of game , go into your ATI control panel an disable crossfire then enable again, Seems to fix it every time. I know as soon as i get into game if crossfire working, Like you my fps are halfed BTW i'm running 2 xfx 6870 black ed. hope this helps Dawg P.S. think game trys to shut it off or doesn't recognize you have crossfire enabled

Hey Krupi , When my game is loading , when Red square thing comes , about halfway through my screen starts flashing (like when you enabe ,disable crossfire ) 2 maybe 3 times . Then the red square is blue ( I think thats the point it see or it don't) Let me know if your seeing what i'm seeing ? Salute

[JG52Krupi]

Well I see the red square flash blue once, but I using your methods I have not being able to get Xfire working :(... what DX10 profile do you use?

I don't know why I can't get Xfire to work at all now :(

[JG52Krupi]

Oh and before anyone ask epilepsy is not on and does not stop the issue :P

I have 2x 6950's. I get this issue when I forget to limit my frame rate.
I fly with vsync on so I use dxtory to limit the frames to 58. It negates input lag and it prevents cpu and gpu spiking, which I suspect is the cause of that problem.

[JG52Krupi]

I will have to give that a go thanks for the tip Hippy.

[Hippy Druid]

Oh, I should add, that in CCC > Gaming > 3d Application settings > AMD CrossFireX Mode for 3d Applications > Use AMD pre-defined Profile. I use the Lost Planet dx10 profile. (LostPlanetDx10.exe).
All the other settings in that screen you should be able to adjust to your preference.

Basically everytime I run Launcher.exe now, it slaps the Lostplanet Crossfire profile on. If it actually makes a difference or it's just a placebo, I am not exactly sure. But I don't get the above-mentioned issues anymore.
The game flys really smooth, with minimal micro-stuttering when I'm looking around frantically whilst doing high speed turns over London.

Worth a crack anyhoo.

Good luck!

[JG52Krupi]

Yes I use the lost planet dx10 exe as well.

Hey m8 , WOW Did a little checking around last night, I saw some pics ,1 had open gl prob ,other was corrupt drivers, 1 was even game was corrupt. Also might want to check an make sure each vid card is working, Also check each stick of ram. But i would start with drivers

[JG52Krupi]

Thanks dude installing 12.6 beta drivers now :D

[JG52Krupi]

That didn't work unfortunately so am now redownloading the game and patches.

Update, downloaded and patched still not working :(

[JG52Krupi]

Okay so I managed to get around the problem by loading the Two Worlds 2 DX10 profile instead of the Lost Planets DX10 profile.

Performance wise I am not entirely sure which one is better, Two Worlds 2 might have the edge of the Lost Planets profile, but I cant exactly make an unbiased opinion with the problems I get using it.

Maybe someone else could try it out?
