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:
