SS 6.3 and 6.4 with CrossfireX

[Comandante]

It doesnt seem like my crossfirex is activating with stainless steel, nor does msi on-screen display. On the amd control panel I tried to use the kingdoms.exe xfire profile with the ss_launcher.exe but still no luck.
Is there a work around on this? my xfire works great with thirdage, and vanilla but it wont work with stainless steel.

I have a 5970 and It works for me.

Are you sure both GPUs are running with SS 6.4, Ferdiad? Well, I am using two 6970s in Xfire mode and the secondary GPU will not run. I'm not sure why yours could work, maybe you did some modifications to it or simply because it's a dual GPU card, maybe even something else.

I did alittle more digging and I found the solution for my Xfire and msi on screen display. It turns out you have to disable the border-less window in the default.cfg for SS6.4.
I think it has something to do with crossfire not working in windowed/border-less mode. I understand SS 6.4 enables border-less mode to switch in and out during the changing turns.
Found the info over here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1633731

This is what I changed to get my xfire working properly, from the default.cfg in ss6.3 folder.

I have no idea. The game runs fine either way so It doesn't really matter.

It does make a difference I gotta say. both my cards are running at just about 90% usage in battles, though I do miss the windowed mode.
