Titanfall Multi-GPU Issues Workaround

Titanfall has just been released and it seems there are major issues with the PC version and multi-GPU systems. According to the company, the game does not support multiple GPUs and this issue will be fixed in an upcoming patch. Still, those with more than one GPU can go ahead and take a look at a temp workaround below:

1. Add bioshock infinite dx11 SLI bits to Titanfall or add Titanfall's executable file to bioshock infinite's profile (via Nvidia Inspector Tool).
2. Enable ambient occlusion and change it to 'performance' mode. Don't change any other AO settings, otherwise there will be graphical corruptions the moment you enable SLI)
3. Changed SLI settings to AFR2

Trying this as I reach home. I'm one of many who has experienced issues when using SLI . which is a norm for any new game really. Always have SLI / Crossfire issues at launch.

Single GPU ftw!

I only noticed some framerate drops when things get really hectic on screen, but I wasn't even aware that there were  multi-GPU issues.
It could be that the game was only utilizing one GPU, but I was having so much fun, I didn't notice. 

Some enthusiast-level investigations are definitely in order.



Didn't Nvidia tout their latest driver as 'Titanfall-ready'?

Their latest drivers ain't no titanfall ready, They latest driver supports 3D in Titnafall, but their are no SLI profiles for titanfall in the drivers.

So yes it may be titanfall ready, but not SLI ready.

Also, issues observed when using sli are as follows:

1. Black screen when screen loads if you try to access burn card menu too soon (happened to me)
2. White screen with weird textures at mission start (happened to me)
3. When Insane textures enabled, randomly maps load with rainbow colored overlayed on all textures (happened to me and berserk)
4. Random Crashes
5. Crashes when jump in escape plane

Dual SLI seems a bit stable. But out of the 5 above, I've experience the first 3 on Triple SLI .


Also, if you have an SLI rig, your 2nd/3rd/4th cards are actually doing nothing. So whatever performance you seeing form the game, is actually only 1 card it using. (yes, the game is THAT efficient).

P.S. AMD users are experience the same and different issues with Crossfire.

Interesting.

Seems like multi-GPU is not the only thing Titanfall is breaking... http://www.gamesradar.com/why-titanfall-and-forza-5-suffered-network-issues-same-time/ 

Seems like them '300,000 servers' need some more RAM.

Lol , I wouldn't put much thought behind that.

Issues didn't last long at all. The fact that MS was able to resolve them so quickly says a lot about their infrastructure and ability to provision more resources as needed. And is a new platform now getting hammered for the first time.
All in all I'm impressed. And i'm sure they are taking notes as to what to look out for and how to manage future blockbuster roll-outs.

GG.

Well my system has no SLI issues.  I confirmed that.


As for the skill-based matchmaking...




Yeah... there's that.  :/

[MessiaaH]

What you still doing on level 5 boy? you hardly play the game ... lol.

Run the campaign. Unlocks both Titans, Gives you a nice level to start up.

[MessiaaH]

Just checked SLI Status with NVIDIA inspector and confirmed that titanfall sli was not showing as enabled. Used the above fix and it displays as active and I can so far use insane settings without issues. More testing shall continue...

[Arcmanov]

What you still doing on level 5 boy? you hardly play the game

...well obviously.



because life, exams, kids, work, Battlefield 4.

You feel I ha time like allyuh young'ns orr?

[MessiaaH]

Aha, I see your problem, what b4 doing there? You have to sacrifice that for titanfal.
If wyatt could give up dota, who is you....

And I have them same categories as u, but I replace Killer Instinct with Titanfall.

Anyways....now finish ah swety match they:



Boom Bang!

[Arcmanov]

Actually, the two complement each other nicely...

Titanfall has that 'pick up and play' accessibility that you might prefer if you only have an hour or so to muck around.
Battlefield 4's epic scale still cannot be beat, however, and when it works, is still a totally different type of awesome.
Titanfall may see even less of me when that monstrously epic Naval Strike DLC drops. 

Battlefield 4 has nothing to worry about.

[TriniGamerShaq]

How long ah average match is in this?

[Arcmanov]

10 to 15 minutes on average.

Never even check because I be having too much fun. Last titan standing feels the longest though, when u have two even well coordinated teams, it feels longer.

[Agokillya]

This is Great news. Private Matches incoming.

With such a healthy roster of Trini peeps both on XBOX and the PC side, we need this option.
