The new beta has buggered things up for us with a dual GPU card again (or at least, those of us with a 5970). There is no way to disable Catalyst AI through CCC (I am using the new official ATI 11.4 drivers).

I did delete the cache etc... and made no changes to any of my in game settings pre and post this latest beta patch.

I have rolled back to the previous beta and I obviously hope this is sorted before the beta patch goes final.

Hope this feedback is of some help to the devs.

intel i7 950 @ 3.8
6 Gig 1600 RAM
Win 7 64bit
ATI 5970 with 11.4 drivers

This is from a very useful thread posted on these forums before:

• Disable CATALYST A.I - You must follow instructions below to disable Cat A.I. The slider settings are for enabled only, they've made it harder to disable it but here is how with latest drivers:

* Close down CCC.exe and MOM.exe via Taskmanager
* Navigate to <username> \AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\Profiles (for me C:\Users\Meh\Appdata\ etc
* Open Profiles.xml with Notepad
* Alt + F and search for "Catalyst"
* Change Value Enable to Disable for Catalyst A.I
* Save
* Restart

Just linking the rest of the thread, if you got bad stutters, follow their suggestions to hopefully sort em out as much as possible:

Game runs like a dream for me right now, smooth and Anti-Aliasing works good if I set it to override application settings in CCC. Only real problem I still have is the three blue lines on the horizon but I can live with those for now I suppose.

Thanks a bunch for the patch Luthier, game has come a looong way since first release version!

Thanks for that info mate...I had just found that thread and read the suggestions just a few minutes ago.

To be honest though, I don't know if I want to go down that track ...I play other games where the dual GPUs are needed to be used and I don't want to go having to chop and change that profiles file (and to be frank, nor should I) each time I want to play another game vs. play CoD. Not having a whinge, but that all seems rather impractical.

I will stick with the previous beta patch for now as I am able to play with it. If the current beta goes final with the current 5970 issues however, then I may have to try it. Wait and see I guess.

cheers anyway.

EDIT: at the end of the day, these are BETA patches so these sort of problems are ok in my book...I am very confident the devs are reading the feedback and will be able to fix the issues in due course.
