!!

So what you are saying is that its all Ubi's fault after all!!!!

What drivers are you on? Could you check to see if your card is clocking properly so we can maybe start to identify what you've done that we've not? What's your full system spec? CCC settings? Maybe try helping instead of gloating?[/QUOTE]

I wasn't gloating in the least, try not having an attitude and take your ATI cards out of Xfire until they support it

100% works for me. Renaming the Ubisoft logo so it doesn't load up fixed the issue. Looks like Maddox Games would be better off using something more recognised like Bink to play the logo. The flash video has terrible interlacing anyway.

If you have flash video acceleration enabled and running at the same time as running a game then it will be locked at 400Mhz as that is what the UVD uses and it cannot go any higher.

No idea. Disabling HA didn't work for me either. I can only assume (since I'm not mega-technical) that whatever plays the ubi splash must be triggering the UVD and locking the clock speed. No video - no lock, CloD runs at 850 right off the bat and suddenly I can bring the settings up to make the game look decent and still get 30ish fps

Fair enough, no offence meant. FYI I only run a single card for CloD, I'm well aware xfire isn't supported. Just glad it's fixed

Just as an update, seen a few posts to say my Ubi splash fix has solved their underclocking problem, which is great. However, one thing I have noticed since doing this is that I now get little glitchy lines coming from the 'target arrows' on the HUD, similar to several screenshots I've seen here. I'm pretty sure the two aren't related as I've noticed the same when trying to play at lower resolutions before solving the underclock problem.

Anyone else getting the same, post fix?

Me two, I would like a way to turn them off, but not to important at the moment.

Bigger fish to fry; let’s get the game fully optimized first.

Keep up the good work guys
