For example i had issues logging inside the inn room if logging out from inn room using crossfire, black screen. I had to log disabling crossfire, move out from inn room, re enable crossfire.
24 hours later the problem disappeared. Live hotfix. Fancy huh?
It's not a particular time or place for one. For two it's likely not squares problem, and for three it's exactly how I was able to open a one on one dialogue with an nvidia employee and have my bug patched by the next driver release.

Unfortunately posting along with the other bazillions may or may not help, and if it does it will take god knows how long and will be snuck it at some point with little to know info on if or when it's coming.

I guess people could go your way which is the way people have been going since the beginning of time, the same way I had no SLI at all on a game that's been around in one form or another for years, with a tech that has been around for years, and on an OS that has been around for what's going on... Years now.

The minute I spoke up directly to someone is the point in which it was fixed within weeks. He asked me for details and data which I provided. He asked the questions the QA department needed specific answers to in order to address it, all in contrast to blindly submitting a report.

To be fair, my "call to arms" for lack of a better phrase could be just that. Simply submitting a bug report or making a post. Many people assume they either know about it, or someone else has or is already raising the issue. Nvidia has made it clear several times now, generally they need to hear it en masse before anything is done. It's exactly why ffxiv wasn't even part of GFE until a few weeks back.

Regardless of chosen medium, get it out there. Posting on random forums asking peers for a fix is one thing when it is something potentially fixable by peers, however this is not.
