The screen flicker when Crossfire enabled. Disabling Crossfire solves problem, but is there any solution to play the game and keep Crossfire enabled?

OS: Vista 64bit
Driver: Catalyst 9.4 and 9.5beta
CPU: i7 920
GFX: 2x HD4890

Now there is no such solution. Maybe it will be fixed in the upcoming patch.

Upcoming patch means: a newer patch than 1.7 right?

I hope so, at least it appears to have been recognized as a problem :)

Well they should also fix the major DEP crash issue in Windows Vista.

For anyone seeing this problem, here is the the solution just for the record:

Disable Catalyst AI. It appears the driver optimizations do not work properly in Crossfire on certain setups. I did not notice any significant performance loss in doing so either. Disabling this also solved some texture flickering issues I had seen in Fallout 3 and Crysis too.
