Crossfire causing face flickering when using SKSE.INI tweak

[song414]

I get a face flickering issue when i make a skse.ini file and use the resolution increase setting with crossfire. Apparently this issue affects many crossfire issues. I have the latest beta drivers. Is there a fix for this?

curses! i've got two 4870x2s in crossfire... no solution yet?

I'm jumpin' in to bump this.

 

I've searched the crap out of this flickering face problem. Most threads are a year old but they point to a problem with Crossfire. Supposedly updating Catalyst drivers to 12.1 would fix it. My driver is current [13.8]. It didn't fix mine. Supposedly, turning Crossfire off and running on a single card would fix it. It didn't. One thread said it was connected to a SKSE tweak but I'm not using the tweak. [as far as I know] Another said to change a setting in the INI file; didn't work.

 

I haven't seen any comments about this being mod/conflict related to CharGen mods. Does anyone know if this problem exists with vanilla? When I played the vanilla version I was in first person. It wasn't until after I modded the game and wanted to see my character that I found the problem. Unchecking all my mods won't give me a true vanilla but I'm gonna start there.

 

It sucks to spend hours modding the game into a visual paradise and your character walks around with their face flashing like a bad neon light.

I have this issue as well.

I'm still having the same issue. Can we just remove the itint tweak, or do I have to disable Crossfire?

I just deleted the line in the INI which solved my issue. I just run with;

ClearInvalidRegistrations=1

seems to work just fine, I get this in my skse_loader in mydocuments so the patch seems to work and I get no more flicker no more.

No one besides us two are having this problem???

I am..

3 years later and the issue still persists. I just deleted the line from skse.ini and it stops the face flickering

I know this is an old topic, but there is a workaround for this:

 

Go to ATI settings and create a profile for TESV.exe (there is a default one, but you'll want to override that)

 

In settings:

 

Wait for Vertical Refresh -> On, unless application specifies

OpenGL Triple Buffering -> On

Frame Pacing -> On

CrossFireX Mode -> Optimize 1x1

Should get rid of the flicker whilst using tintmasks..

..the reason I decided to post this is because I recently re-installed Oldrim LE and a bunch of mods and had the issue. Took me a while to figure it out again after not playing it for several years.. :happy:
