I really wish you guys would start specifying these as hotfix drivers so I don't have to go looking for a driver that I can't use.

Hoping that crossfire will work now in BF1. I still don't think it's supported in DX12 mode. I've seen some say that they can't even get it working in DX11.

Trying these out, surprisingly enough BF1 runs exremely well on my 295x2 but I've been so busy playing I haven't had time to tweak the settings, getting some crashes to desktop with dx not responding on 16.1 though, hope these help.

My xfire 290x setup has been pretty good with these. I get some weirdness in multiplayer sometimes but that's about it, haven't really experienced it in campaign. Water starts flickering... next thing you know my fps drops from 70-90(freesync) down to 40s. No rhyme or reason... it usually lasts a minute or so in the 40s then jumps right back up. Specs in sig and BF1 is on Ultra @ 2560x1440.

BF1 been running great on my 280x xfire setup in DX11, DX12 I get that same directX error, as does a friend with an Nvidia setup, so I'm thinking its not the drivers
