Would it be too much to ask for DICE/EA to acknowledge the issues with SLI after the game update today? I'm running 2 x GTX 1080 and have massive flickering, only solved by disabling SLI. In the forum we are now at 17 pages of feedback from people with the same issue, and no word from DICE or EA. https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/58545/flickering-blinking-after-update-updates-in-op#latest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg7XbGEQWHU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE1gyTk5z0I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3odkEQfANQ Please, give us some feedback.

I have the same issue. 2 x GTX970ti in SLI. Its really odd, as only certain things flicker. For instance in the main menu. All the "M"s appear to be "interlaced", most of the rest of the white text appears normal. I didn't update my GFX driver, this happened upon updating BF1. And updating GFX driver afterwards hasn't solved the issue.

I spent an hour on the phone to EA support for them to feel just disable sli. Apparently they don't officially support sli in battlefield 1, but wait a second it worked perfect before the update. Therefore the update has broken something. All the support team said was they will pass on my system info and I will just have to wait for a future update. That better be fast or I will never buy another EA game.

Seeing the same issue -- it's a really sloppy one and I'd be surprised if they don't fix it. They should absolutely acknowledge it, though. Given how common SLI is, I'd be shocked if they didn't fix soon. If they don't, they're getting a chargeback.

I will let Nvidia know, but the flickering is also happening with older driver versions, and it is happening in crossfire too!

same problem here, after i update battlefield2x 780 SLI, FX 9370, WIN10 64also after the nvidia driver update (today) 375.86 (2x 780 SLI)

It's most likely up to Nvidia to fix and acknowledge. If it doesn't work using the 375.86 driver remember to give that feedback to Nvidia:

I had this problem..Tried everything and solved my problem by going into the nvidia dashboard and disabled my sli setup and played a few games with only one gtx780Ti instead of 2..while i was playing the game I noticed I was playing with DX11 so I switched to DX12 in the video settings and reset the game by quitting...I then decided to open the Nvidia dashboard once again and enable sli ..Opened the game again and fingers crossed its working ok with no flicker on the menu screen...I hope this helps

I am pretty sure that DX12 disables SLI - it does for everyone else, so my guess is that it does for you too!

You are right friend the nvidia dashboard says that SLI is on but truth be known it's not working properly or DX12 doesn't support nvidia cards in Sli which is a shame. So sorry for wasting your time..Hope EA and Dice fix the problem soon.
