    Constant flashing

    I am running an i5 2500k and crossfire amd 7950 cards. I seem to get this CONSTANT flashing of what appears to be the "shadows" but also on a variety of objects and my weapon. I have tried nearly every video setting change still seem to be getting the same thing. I have scoured the internet and was wondering if anyone else was having this problem or better yet had been able to fix it. I would love to play the game, even at a lower framerate but this constant flashing gives me a headache.

    SO I guess my question, as asked earlier is:
    Is there a fix for this?
    OR
    Are others at least having the same problem?

    Apparently there are significant issues for shadow and light rendering related to ambient occlusion, anti aliasing, and SLI/Corssfire,,,,,however bad they may be for any individual player; they are reportedly worse in the NE area of Kyrat; once you've unlocked it. That's been my experience as well; though from many other posts..........................what I've got to deal with isn't all that bad compared to many others. Sadly...................you're not the Lone Ranger.

    Thanks, at least I know that I am not alone. Even though FC4 was the ONLY game i cared to play this holiday season since my rig is decent enough I guess I will wait a little longer in hopes that it gets better. I finished act 1 but even playing in coop in different areas I will try to stick it out until they patch and I progress any further. Honestly as bad as it is at least I know that I am not alone in this and because I want the BEST FC4 experience as I loved FC3 so much I will just wait and hope for the best. Thanks.

    Feel your pain.... I'm running 560 ti's in SLI and HBAO+ msaa2 and tripple buffering .. vsync off...blur off ....fur on then high everything else ....using FC3 sli bits and modified gameprofile fix...

    Running pretty smooth most of the time... the flashing keeps coming back at startup but I change the resolution from my default 1080p to 1600 x 900 and the flashing usually stops even when I go back to 1080p... sometimes I have to just do it more than once...but works eventually and stays fine for hours once I get rid of it....worth a shot...best luck...

    BTW: I have to start game from exe file or it tries to re install... so here is my shortcut with intro skipped...
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Far Cry 4\bin\FarCry4.exe" -skipintr

    Best luck....
