Well, so far this game has a big thumbs down from me in terms of the PC release.

I can some what understand the lack of multi-screen support. However the intolerable oversight is the lack of SLI or Crossfire support AT ALL, even for a single screen.

To get the game to work you completely have to disable either SLI or crossfire. Something that is way... beyond a bad oversight. Even single screen gamers uses these technologies.

The AMD 11.5a hotfix drivers have a note about improving Brink performance:


AMD Catalyst™ Driver 11.5a Hotfix Feature:

Includes performance optimizations and resolves various quality issues for the upcoming release of Brink™
Resolves transcoding video lagging issues seen when converting multiple H.264 clips to MPEG2 Blu-ray video
Resolves the intermittent mouse cursor lag issue seen by some users
Resolves intermittent flickering issues seen in the following applications in a system using an AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 series graphics card with DDR3 memory and running in DirectX® 9 mode:
Civilization 5
Dead Rising 2
Fallout 3
Mafia 2
NBA 2010
ShenGuiChuanQi
Starcraft 2
Warcraft III
World of Warcraft

You can find them here: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst115ahotfix.aspx

Edit: although I suppose it needs a CAP update too.

I have pre-ordered on Steam cos there is a big push from my clan, this looks like an excellent game to scrim with all the tools included. So I hope that a) SLI support is updated and b) MM res is added. I wonder if it is a WSFixer possibility or ini edit type thing? Any clever chaps looking into this?

Q. How can I setup Brink for ATI Eyefinity/Nvidia Surround/triple screen?
A. You need to edit the following commands to match your setup specifics, and put them into your autoexec.cfg (find your aspect ratio here):
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_customWidth "5760"
seta r_customHeight "1080"
seta r_aspectRatio "-1"
seta r_customAspectRatioH "16"
seta r_customAspectRatioV "3"

Sadly, since SLI bombs the game on launch, I can't even try this >.<

So, we will have the surround, but not with the SLI FPS boost?

Nope if you disable SLI you don't get surround. So multi mon only for Ati at the moment, I guess.

Well, EVGA released some sort of SLI patch for Brink. I'm going to give it a try.

Good luck, give us a quick result when you've tried it (not that it unlocks for another 2 or so days here)

Have any of you tried to create a profile for NVidia for Brink to get SLI to work? Works most the time I tried it with a bit of trial and error to get the settings right, but I have ATI now which doesn't come with its own inbuilt profile manager, so when I do get Brink I'll be playing with Radeon Pro while I record me video.
