How to enable AMD Crossfire for Shadow of Mordor (OUTDATED)

EDIT: This guide is outdated, as AMD added crossfire support for this game.
This guide walks the user through the steps necessary to enable AMD CrossfireX in game. The solution is not perfect, but it is the best we have until AMD updates their drivers to include a profile for Shadow of Mordor.

Introduction and thanks

First, I would like to thank Weeddrunken님이 작성 for his awesome guide on how to enable SLI for this game. His guide gave me the idea to search for a similar solution for AMD Crossfire users. If you have Nvidia SLI, I highly reccomend his guide.

This solution is not perfect. It causes menu options to glitch out and flicker between different text options. It does not seem to cause any errors in the rendering of the actual game. The flickering does not seem to affect menu options that are highlighted. This is the best solution I could find. Im sure AMD will have new drivers with a profile for this game soon enough. Until then, its a small price to pay for crossfire permormance.

How to enable AMD Crossfire for Shadow of Mordor

1. First, right click on the desktop and left click on AMD Catalyst Control Center.


2. Next, ensure that AMD CrossFireX is enabled by expanding the gaming tab on the left hand side of the menu and selecting AMD CrossFireX.


3. Click on 3D Application settings direclty above the AMD CrossFireX menu option. Then under application settings, click on "+ Add."


4. Navigate to ShadowOfMordor.exe located in the steam directory at: "//Steam\SteamApps\common\ShadowOfMordor\x64"


Note: I am running a 64 bit OS. I am not sure if the directory is different if you are on a 32 bit OS. If someone could verify the direct on an x86 system I would appreciate it.

5. In the newly created "ShadowOfMordor.exe" profile, scroll down to the AMD CrossFireX settings. In the AMD CrossFireX Mode setting, select "Use AMD pre-defined profile." In the table below, select "BatmanOrigins.exe" and click on save. Click Okay if a window pops up asking if you want to overwrite the profile.


6. Crossfire is now enabled. Go forth and slay orcs!

FYI - to anyone else that reads this guide: as opf at least the 14.12 'Omega' drivers (likely earlier), they included a Crossfire profile for the game.

But kudos to the OP

so i did this and i get incredibly bad fps any ideas on how to fix this (i have 2 270x's) by the way

i dont have crosfire, i have one amd 7950, i use eyefinity in other games, but does not work in this game, it is possible to configure to work?

thanks

i don't have the "AMD crossfireX" option under "gaming", can someone help?

[Moosticles]

I have a 7850 and a r9 270 in Crossfire. The above solution helps get high fps across the board. Wish i saw this before i finished the game though. Thanks for the guide anways

My crossfire 5970's get much better performance using this profile.
(I was previously using the "AFR Friendly" mode which was working but causing textures and text to flicker).

Unlike below post, I don't seem to be getting low(er) fps with this workaround.

Thanks for this guide!.

CrossFire workarounds only degrade my performance by introducing extreme frame dips with R9 290's, but maybe you'll get better results in case the card is already running at low framerates.

Sure you may get higher framerates at the benchmark, but the ingame frames just keep on hitting this -100fps brick wall.
