The RAGE Megathread

[helloWorld]

Another question, for the 8k textures, it says that I would most likely require 1.5GB VRAM. Now, I have two video cards in SLI, each has 1280 MB of dedicated VRAM. Would the both of combined be enough, or is it looking for each individual card to have 1.5 GB ram?

When cards are in dual configurations the video ram is not combined. So you only have 1280mb.

Would there be any benefit to 4GB patching it, or would you just lose Steam achievements?

for some reason i cant get this game to work..its driving me MAD

I have noticed that the Textures are alittle bit worse with the new drivers. I really don't care though. I figure once all the bugs are worked out they will release a high texture pack for us Pc guys (at least I hope) I'm just happy it's working now.

I'm using a 1gb card with 8k textures and it works just fine. Do it.

Erocker's peer pressure, just do it, it won't hurt you!

Can some one point how to fix poor textures ?
I`v tried creating rageconfig.cfg in base folder inside the game but won`t work for some reason. In the file it has enable console command that work and nothing else from the list work skip intro and larger textures also don`t work.
By the way I`m amazed how much John Carmack talked about the textures. And in the end they look like crap. I mean look at Doom it has 100 times better textures.
And yes forgot about tearing, forcing vsync from nvidia cpanel won`t work. Any ideas ?

 

[helloWorld]

From the vanilla disc install, how large of a patch will i be looking to download?

 

[Black Haru]

Do you think Rage 2 is on the way ?

count on it.

Tried that. Has no effect what so ever.

 

[erocker]

Weird. Definitely a difference for me.

Even tried manually from the console exec rageconfig.cfg it is saying that is executed the screen is redrawn but still blurry textures.

Anyone with an AMD card having slight pauses when they walk around? It's really annoying!

I'll let you know Innocent, I can't wait to try this game.....so bloody hooked on FIFA though

Some of the videos and screenies I have seen look mint.

I'd appreciate that.

90% of the game looks jaw-dropping (especially with the larger textures enabled). It's just this pissing stuttering I can't seem to shift. Almost game ruining. It's been a very long time since I've been disappointed with AMD/ATi's drivers. Still, on the flip side I guess it gives me something to look forward to.

 

[Pandora's Box]

Do you think Rage 2 is on the way ?

judging from the ending, yes.

 

[InnocentCriminal]

judging from the ending, yes.

Thanks for not putting that into spoiler tag nob'ead.

Well I'm pissed off. After I finished a race mission, my game went to a black screen and all of my saved games are now corrupt and I have to start the bastard thing all over.

Weird. Definitely a difference for me.

I loaded it up, run this config:

vt_useCudaTranscode 2
vt_cudaBudget 16
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192
vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192
vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192
vt_restart
vt_maxaniso 4
image_anisotropy 4

and get absolutely superb play. It's unbelievably unstressful on my gfx card (doesn't go above 50 degrees).

Close up textures are awful* though compared to the actual large texture outdoor scenery (bootiful).

*I would say though that all the textures look 'ready' for tesselation. Things look like they're waiting to be brought to life. Unless this is what some people have been talking about with idtech 5 being used completely for Doom 4 (this game being a test run)?

 

[Raijian]

Wow, lots of people with problems. That sucks. Looks like this release is sort of a flop :\

Hate to say it but after Dead Island, BF3 and this I'm losing interest in PC gaming.

dead island is a great game that released spectacularly well - bf3 will be a HUGE release, and is already huge before it's even released. and RAGE is a quality old-style shooter. it really is akin to Doom and Quake of yester-year.

what exactly is it about pc gaming that is so horrible atm? honestly if the current state makes you lose interest, good riddance imo.

Don't lose faith; Dead Island has been patched, BF3 is a beta and Rage will... hopefully get patched.

They patched the game, now is smooth and graphics/light effects are amazing... things that I did not notice yesterday
