So, what's the cure against flickering shadows (ATi)

[Codex]

Just remember everyone, the latest patch release is still beta, it wont stay like this forever. Luthier will get the team to fix the ATI issues.

It isn't unique to ATI, also it has been like this from release so it has nothing to do with the beta.

look at the shadows in cockpit, to get an idea of what is going on with building shadow flicker (saw tooth edgings)

Well I must be the odd one out because I haven't had any flickering problems until installing the April 27 beta patch. And because the only significant change to the code, graphically for me, was the implementation of Crossfire I suspect CoD has a sync issue between the two cards or hasn't used the right Crossfire mode. When I disable Crossfire the flickering disappears.

I'm with you Codex, no real probs till this latest patch, however with a 5970 card I don't have the option to disable crossfire

You need to have two or more GPU's installed for the menu option to be visible

DOH! Just noticed you've got the 5-9-70.

Well I think I have a work around for dual GPU cards like my 5970.... in conf.ini change Render=D3D10_0 to Render=D3D11_0 .....for me no more crossfire logo in the top corner and stuttering and tearing have goneskey

Hopefully this helps others with dual GPU cards

Cheers

@Goanna

I experimented with setting DRD11_0 quite some time ago but I have to say I'm seriously doubting whether it actually renders in DX11 or in fact reverts to DX9, I don't see an actual difference to be honest.

....We have a similar system and the same card, I will try your conf.ini change. I was about to try a reinstall and go back to last patch. Could you share your card and ingame settings? I have tried all combos since patch and it just wont return to flyable FPS. Would be most appreciated!

I haven't installed any beta patch, and I'm still getting flicker...it seems a bit better now after checking out the shadowmaps, but it's still there.
