Blubb , Can you give me the Config and Launch parameters you use? I used your fix and while it did work , the FPS is sorta low like on 11.6 unlike the 11.10 45-55 FPS that i get, I was wondering maybe i can improve my FPS by using configs like yours?Also did you need to resort to configs to make it run smooth or it ran smooth without them?

I used so many different configs ... But they had no influence on this problem. I believe the frames werent perfect, but under the circumstances of 3 days of eye-pain with the config tweaks the fps seemed perfect....

I want to add, with the patch AND the 11.10 driver (with catalyst ON and no shenanigans) the game runs even smoother than my previous posted solution.

Im now using only the "official" solution and it works perfectly fine now.

I had this exact same problem, I had the game patched and im using the preview 2 driver from ATI
I tried a few config files from the steam forums but nothing helped untill I came across another config on this forum

what im using now is:

for launch option I added

 +jobs_numThreads -1 +set com_skipIntroVideo 1 +vt_maxPPF 8

And my config file is like this:

seta com_videoRam "1024"seta image_anisotropy "4"seta image_usecompression "0"seta image_lodbias "-1"seta image_useCache "1"seta image_cacheMegs "200"seta image_cacheMinK "50"seta m_smooth "0"seta vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 "8192"seta vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly "8192"seta vt_pageimagesizeunique "8192"seta vt_maxPPF "8"seta vt_lodBias "-1"seta vt_minlod "-1"seta vt_maxaniso "2"

I have a E8400 dual core processor clocked at 3Ghz
and a ATI 6950 2GB

I hope this will help some of you

Isn't the "seta com_videoRam" the memory your graphics card has? Seeing as you have a 2GB card, wouldn't you want to set it to 2048, not 1024? Correct me if I'm mistaken though, just an observation from what I've seen from other posters

Alright guys. I just registered to post you my solution. I had the exact same problems. And i tried everything. the 11.6 driver solution was OKish, but way too low fps and looked like crap. With the 11.10 Driver i had the smoothest game, but artifacts all over the place. I did everything posted here, but nothing worked really good ...and then i had it right

Im running it on a E8400 dual core with ATI HD6000er on win7 64.

It looks perfect now, and constantly high fps without any stuttering.

I′ll give you a rough idea what you have to do:
______________________________

-Uninstall your current ATI Driver in windows - software

-Use Driver Cleaner to delete any relics of the driver

--Download the official 11.9 driver from AMD. This is IMPORTANT. This is the only driver who worked fine for me with my config.

-Now, restart and install the 11.9 driver --> restart.

-open the catalyst graphic options and put everything to "use application settings" / triple buffer off/ Force VSync ON / (blabla i think thats not the important part)

-Go to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE/Profiles.xml and EDIT. Search for "Catalyst" and you find one entry for the catalyst AI. Change it the "enable" to "Disable"

Now RESTART again.

When windows is up again, you go to the Task manager and Shut down "CCC.exe" and "MOM.exe".

Now you any config for rage which is around, its all nice and stuff.

Run the game and enjoy your sunday
______________________________

Key element is: MOM.EXE and CCC.exe seems to be responsible for the 100% CPU Usage on the rage exe. and the 11.9 driver is the only one which worked for me (without AI). The rest is like all the other guys already said and explained. You can use whatever rageconfig or commands on your rage.exe.

I needed 3 days to get to this result, and i want to thank everyone who posted here, it helped me alot because i used every idea from a lot of threads and finally it worked for me

I hope this fixes it for some more guys here.

Greetings!
