Same issue with flickering. Disabling Crossfire X doesn't help. Can't run at Eyefinity resolutions with a single GPU. Forced to run on a single screen in windowed mode. Running Steam version.

Guys I think I found a temp fix. This is what I did to stop the flickering and it worked. Before this I tried the rift rename with poor performance and windowed mode with poor performance. I'm using a 5970 and I have the retail cd of Crysis2. I think this fix reverts crysis 2 back to version 1.0 and you should have no flicker with good performance.
1. Put your Crysis cd in your drive go to the bin32 directory and copy over your crysis 2 exe from the cd to the install directory of your drive.
2. Start crysis up and enjoy.
This worked for me. Keep in mind i haven't tested multiplayer but if this patch reverts back to 1.0 I doubt you will be able to play online.
Let me know if this work's for anyone.
Specs:
i7 920
5970
6Gb of Ram
Regards,

It seems SLI is messing up the post-processing in more ways than just the flickering, if you see the screenshots of the differences in the Motion-blur with and without SLI I posted up a bit earlier.
Hopefully Crytek can come up with something, disabling SLI is a workaround, but I am used to crazy fast FPS with this set-up and dropping down to one card and 50-60 FPS isn't ideal, not to mention all the extra input lag I notice with the lower FPS.

I can also confirm that after a Crysis 2 uninstall, then installing again while disabling the internet to bypass the update does fix the problem!! But you can NOT play multiplayer online without updating.
This IS a temporary fix.
So the REAL problem here is the forced update!!

Cool.
All I have to do is install the application profiles twice, reinstall the driver, then move my monitor connection from one DVI out to another DVI out. BAM! problem fixed. Like it was never there. [sarcasm, k?\
Utter crap game: can't use multi-gpu, motion blur=the suck+lag, textures are wolfenstein3d quality. Ugh.
Crytek, I didn't download the leak or pirate your new game because Cry1 was so good.
I wish I had.
Shame on you.

Disregard last post, forgot that Crossfire is disabled after the driver install, still flickers after reboot. Mea Cupla!

*******You guys must have missed my post!!!!

This IS a temporary fix for the campaign flickering.
