Hi

hope the topic is self-describing. Will Rage be or not be restricted?
(little story for comparison) Got FalloutNV,yesterday....it was 32bit restricted. So i assume Rage will be too.

Could you plz insert a switch for people who use a 64bit sys and have the proper amout of ram.

Yes i know i can cause trouble, never did for me, it always "did the trick"

Cause i would not be able to use the 4gb-patch-prog ( ntcore"dot"com) for FalloutNV,
if a modder would`nt have made an own version,which is working with Steam.
Yes Steam, the platform Rage will use too (omg in heaven hell and elswhere help us all)
plz dont get me wrong Steam is a good thing, but telling me how-to start a game and where i have to install it
(even if i can move the whole steam-folder to an other HDD) is a very bad thing (i guess)
because steam check the exe before starting and i dont understand why a change in a header of the exe is such a big problem.
I assume there have been a lot of people before asking Steam to change that.

and i think writing this in an email to mr carmack or someone who can do this would help? ^^(yeah i never know until...)

They said something along the lines of NOT shipping initially the 64-bit version, but that it could come with a patch, including the mod tools.

hi
i read and heard that too
but i thought they mean a different version u use for develop mods ...isnt it called SDK o.O?
i mean the game-version they offer first
maybe after a patche game-version and SDK are the same version ^^

Didn't i already said don't worry about this.


First of all - Fallout has nothing to do with Rage - they aren't the same developer - not the same house - not the same city and not the same state. But they're both part of the Zenimax Media and that's why ID is using Bethesda's logo for publishing.


Second i don't even understand what this 32bit restriction is ? What restriction. You can play the game on 32bit OS or 64bit OS there's no difference. The only thing is it's not playing in x64 mode if the game doesn't have x64 compiled executables and DLLs.

Then - it's already been confirmed that there are 2 PC versions of rage - one x32 and the other x64.

The x64 version of RAGE will support developer-console. x32 will not. ID studio application only has x64 executables and so you will not be able to run it on x32 OS.


Essentially - hate to say it - but x32 version of Rage is a barebone PC game "console port". While the actual PC stuff is ALL and ONLY on the x64 version. An x64 bit WINDOWS is REQUIRED.

There is absolutely nothing that has to do about with anything like fallout or anything else at all.

Will the 64-bit patch release right after the games release or will it take a couple months?
