Just got the game, but noticed CF isn't working. I'm running Catalyst version 13.1, should I be running 13.2 b7 and are there any known bugs in b7 I should be worried about?

It's not running too bad off just one 7970 actually, I'm getting a playable 35fps @6002x1080 with no TressFX or AA and everything else maxed.
 
You will most likely need to create a crossfire profile for the game yourself since it just came out and those are beta drivers. I had the same issue with World Of Tanks in the past.
 
Drat. I'm actually downloading this game now, running 13.2 beta 4 hopefully my crossfire works..
 
Crossfire, and the game in general, works without issues for me running 13.2 b7. I was having trouble getting crossfire working until I realised you have to keep the 'exclusive full screen' mode enabled.

Hmm I turned that off cause I thought it would improve performance, will try enabling it first and see what happens.
 
I confirmed it by using the setting in Catalyst that shows an icon in the top right when Crossfire is working. Exclusive full screen off - no icon, exclusive full screen on - crossfire icon (and a big jump in performance).

I've never come across an exclusive full screen setting in a game before. Perhaps with it off you are in some borderless windowed mode since it is well known that crossfire doesn't work in windowed mode http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1633731
 
Yeah, Exclusive Fullscreen off = borderless window mode. You need 13.2 beta 7 for the game to run well in crossfire

Bolts, where is this setting you mentioned about showing an Icon when crossfire is working?
 
Right-click on the Catalyst icon in the notification area of the taskbar. Move to the first graphics card entry listed (mine has 'AMD Radeon HD 6900 series' listed 6 times, I guess one for each display output) , then AMD CrossfireX settings (this might show up under a different entry depending on your monitor set up - I don't know), then tick 'Show AMD CrossfireX Status Icon (where applicable)'.

Yep, enabling exclusive full screen made CF work :) Bit confusing since there's "full screen" and "exclusive full screen" options.

Any idea of the performance increase with 13.2 beta 7?
 
Driver 14.4

2x 7950@925-1300

Same results...90-93 fps with or without crossfire.

WTH, AMD ?!?
