Im confused... I get this extreme flicked in heavy metal which I dont see on the other maps at all, ever! It isn't the black flicker that we see sometimes, more of a faster flicker confined to certain parts of the screen. Has anyone else noticed this? Ps im using crossfire 6950's.
BFBC2 Heavy Metal flickers like hell!!!

Latest Nvidia drivers gave me strobe-effect flickering on all maps, constantly! The older drivers don’t but I still find myself running into certain areas on certain maps (not confined to one map) and getting the very annoying occasional-flickering-of-death i.e. you get killed because you can’t see what’s going on.

This the black screen flickering? As it's pretty easy to fix that.

Its the black screen flickering on steroids! Very intense strobing, does my head in after about 5 seconds.
How do you fix it? Is this the bloom setting in the ini? Because that doesn't even fix the 'normal' random flickering for me...
Every Catalyst since 11.1 has had this nasty flickering issue in certain games, Fallout 3 and DCS A-10 for example. The flickering disappears if I disable Crossfire, but thats no use to anyone with 2 cards. I've also noticed that there's no option to disable the Catalyst AI in the latest drivers, unless you manually edit the .xml file.
Add this to the other widespread issues of GPU 2 sticking permanently at 99% usage after 10 minutes of gameplay and the 'sticky' mouse in the top right of the screen. AMD, please fix your drivers!!!
On topic: Hope your issue with BC2 gets sorted soon

How do you fix this?
I get this too, my comp also started blue screening so I've reinstalled Windows today as it was happening outside the game. I was hoping the flickering would also stop as at one point it got really bad and I had to play the game on it's lowest settings.

The black flickering is fixable by disabling bloom in the settings.ini in the following folder:
C:\Users\username\Documents\BFBC2
change to:
Bloom=false
I understand it is caused by playing what is essentially a DX9 game using DX11 which all DX11 GPU's will cause the game to switch to.
I haven't tried this but you can change the dxversion in the settings.ini from "auto" to "9" which may help also.
The texture flickering is incurable, I have read many forums and tried every solution, none work.
It is bad mapping and should only effect Heavy Metal and Harvest Day (the new maps)
Some have reported that switching HBAO off when it happens in game fixes this temporarily but I have not. I just ignore it and hope that BF3 maps have been mapped better.
