Gigabyte 6850 Crossfire issues

Alright, I recently added another 6850 to my i7 2600 setup and so far there are some issues. And I'm using the latest driver, 11.1a or whatever its called.

First issue that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 keeps on crashing, it just exits to the desktop without any message.

Second, there are scaling issues with Lost Planet 2 on DX11. DX9 runs perfect, I get over 110FPS most of the time, however in DX11 it runs like shit, I get less than 40FPS and in most areas its very laggy. Is this normal or a driver issue?

Third, I noticed Windows Live Movie Maker 2011 won't start when Crossfire is enabled. I have to disable Crossfire in order to get it working.

I would prefer to find a workaround for Bad Company 2.
 
What Catalyst driver are you using? I'm using 10.10 with no issues. 10.11 and 10.12 crashed out and rebooted all the time. haven't tried the 11.1 yet but I see similar issues in the forums with those. I'm running two of those Gigabyte bad boys and haven't had an issue since I stepped back the drivers. Before you install/reinstall the drivers use Drive Sweeper and then manually delete the folders containing anything ATI on your hard drive.
 
Using the latest 11.1a hot fix drivers, and believe me, they are completely shit, it works fine with a single GPU but once Crossfire is enabled, games will start crashing. WTF ATI, I wasted my money and I can't get my money's worth because of poor drivers. Fix this shit ATI, this isn't funny.
