    I have the M17xR2 with two 5870s. I want to play Darksiders in Crossfire but it won't work unless I rename DarksidersPC.exe to Timeshift.exe.
    I am trying to figure out how to configure RadeonPro so that when i run Timeshift.exe, the computer sees that I am running DarksidersPC.exe.
    Any help is welcome and appreciated in how to achieve this.
    Thank you much.

    I am using 10.12 from AMD. I had the profile (10.12) installed and removed. ATI disabled crossfire for this game. You can have crossfire enabled but it's not using both video cards. Do you see both cards are loaded and getting warm together? As far as I know, ATI disabled crossfire for Darksiders claiming it's not working well in crossfire. Personally, I think they are just dodging the bullet instead of doing some real work because I can trick the drivers by changing the name DarksidersPC.exe to Timeshift.exe and get crossfire working with FPS rise.
