Crossfire issues on Dota 2? (gray flickering)

I've installed the 14.11.1 drivers this week, until now, I ran dota 2 flawlessly @ 100-120FPS with both my 7870. On 14.11.1, I've been experiencing some weird kind of flickering occuring the moment I launch the game(even at the valve logo, no -novid). The flickering itself is pretty weird, it's like my monitor is alternating between a grey screen and the game itself, I guess this in the game menus and the game itself. Is there any kind of fix or I simple have to go back to 14.11 or play on only one card? That issue started to happen maybe a day or two after installing the driver but I haven't noticed any dota 2 game update.

If the last driver worked just better roll back to it.

Shouldn't you be fine playing Dota 2 on one card? My league of legends was going nuts when I was using crossfire on it so I just switched it to borderless (uses one card). No point of using crossfire if you are able to play the game perfectly fine on one of your cards.

I know but just for the lulz of having more frames for no reason I guess, still getting the issue each time I'm launching it a second time, not the first time. In the case of LoL, I seemed to have gained more FPS with the recent driver.

What driver were you on before your latest update? AMD's beta drivers have been a nuisance lately in my experience. You might want to just stick with 14.9.
