Hi there,
After searching numerous forums without a solution, I've decided to post my issues here.
I'm experiencing, and have been experiencing problems running Battlefield 3 since the beginning.
My setup:
Windows 8
Asus P8 z67 deluxe
Intel Core i7
Corsair 8GB DDR3 2000MHz (2x4)
2 x Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 in CrossFire
My problem:
Using any other drivers than the Battlefield 3 Beta drivers (believe is 11.8) for AMD, makes my game crash. I'm experiencing two different kinds of crashes: (1) The game crashes just at the end of loading screen - either to desktop with a DirectX error "GetDeviceRemovedReason" or completely crashes the computer, unable to do anything, or (2) Game launches and I can play for a few minutes, with flickering pixel display, until it either crashes to desktop or the whole computer.
What I've tried:
I've reinstalled 4 times now, both with Windows 7 and 8 without any result. The only drivers that seems to be working is the old 11.8. Using the newest drivers 13.1 all other games seems to be working fine and CrossFire is working as well.
I've just installed a fresh version of Windows 8 with the new 13.1 drivers, but the problems seems to persist. I've tried an uninstall of the drivers without luck.
I hope anyone has tried something similar and came up with a solution, because I'm lost for ideas on how to proceed.
Best regards
