Shadow flickering on AMD Crossfire cards

Users with AMD crossfire cards with crossfire enabled would experience flickering shadows whilst playing the game. This issue has now been fixed in AMD's Version 12.1 CAP 3 drivers.

Alternatively, disabling Catalyst A.I. would fix this issue

Textures are pitch black/transparent on AMD cards

In the Catalyst Control Center, go to the AA Tab under 3D settings. If "Use Application settings" is unchecked, this will cause the textures in the game to appear pitch black. Checking this field again will resolve the issue.
