PC - Flashing lights in game remain after April 10th patch (AMD Crossfire)

Oddly enough same issue, and I built this machine to handle BF4 which it does quite well.  60fps in battle 100+ in terrain.  Haven't tried disabling Crossfire to see if that fixes the issue, but we shouldn't have to either.

Hey guys so after the April 10 patch Crossfire now works without all the graphical artefacts on screen but some have remained. I am getting flashing lights in game when you're inside a building. I mean flashing from actual lights on the ceilings & walls etc. Outside where there are no or few lights the game looks just fine.

I know its a Crossfire issue because if I disable Crossfire then I don't get any of the above.

Any suggestions?

So after plenty of research, it appears we're going to have to wait until they come out with a patch for Crossfire, and SLI support.  I also just disabled Crossfire to check and what do you know, perfect...

Thought you gents might be interested to try out a workaround I discovered... after EA's (terrible) tech support's insistence, I did a clean boot and deleted my windows TEMP cache - this actually appeared to fix the problem, until I made literally any changes to the graphics settings (resolution, AA, textures, FOV...). This, along with "Hey, it seems to have something to do with the lighting effects" (I know, I'm such a genius, durr) made me start messing with specific graphics settings, one at a time. Dropped shadows to medium, no changes. Low? Flicker's gone.

Whaaaa?!

I'm running 2x 7970 and this has consistently removed the flickering for me. I still get some low fps sometimes (that seems crossfire independent and just a seperate issue) and it's by no means a "fix" to be forced to turn down the lighting on a computer that should frankly wipe the floor with this game, but in general I seem to have better performance, and I'm able to jack up all the other settings pretty easily.

I'm really curious to see whether you two are experiencing the same or not.

Did anyone else get forced into EA's troubleshooting for >4 hours just to be told it was a "known issue" by their "emails specialists" and to wait for a patch? What a scam.

Confirmed, Low shadows = no flicker.  Thanks for the tip CronaTronic.😕mileyhappy:
