Please make game playable!

Win7 Ult 32bit
Radeon HD 5770 1gb gddr5
2gb ram
p4 660 3.6ghz

using AMD/ATI Rage performance beta driver

I was gonna buy the game, but a family member gifted it to me (YAY); pre-loaded, launched, I can't even walk around in the ark because i'll move like half a foot, then game stops for 2-3 seconds... this continued til I made it out the door, then I have the same texture problems everyone else is having

I can't play it... can't move, can't look around... HELP!

Also have PS3 controller w/ drivers; but in game GAMEPAD option uses 360 controller and doesn't recognize my controller?

Please make game playable!

For using the Playstation 3 controller with the PC I recommend using the MotionJoy DS3 Tool. This will make it be able to be recognized as a 360 controller, and RAGE was able to detect it just fine for me wireless and wired. As for the graphics issues we just need to wait for them to fix it...

Seems to be an issue with ATi drivers as I have not seen an owner of a nvidia card complain yet...

Game is unplayable. Someone posted a youtube video he looked around, textures were constantly re-loading... I can't even "LOOK" around. its really bad. 1440x900 btw

I am using the Motionjoy 6.0004 or w/e latest drivers, wired, What do you have your L2/R2 set as in motionjoy? it was set as "axis" I set them to buttons 14/15

Also my motionjoy always opens in spanish? very annoying. I figured out where the button was to make it english on accident but why won't it "save" english (i clicked save)

Why didn't my RAGE recognize the controller? I set gamepad enabled. Does it not work in the menu?

I just set motionjoy to Enable 360 emulation and it works in most modern games, unfortunately it seems most games are only supporting Xinput and 360 gamepads mainly.

Darn near everyone is being affected. If it's not low framrates then it's terrible ugly texture pop-ins.

Yea it's really bad can't even play with all the flickering and graphics look like [censored] nothing like gameplay videos. Has to be wrong version! NEED PATCH!

do I need a second driver to run 360 emulator? On the TEST menu it shows DPAD like anolog stick area of test for DS3 test.

also shows buttons 5 and 6 always pressed. didn't see testing for anolog sticks and when i clicked "enable" my pc said drivers found or hardware installed or something

I am not sure how related my issue is but for me it seems the biggest reason the game is unplayable is that when I start the game my poor core 2 duo immediately goes to 100% and stays there, really heating things up. It doesn't make sense to me that from before even getting to the main menu a 2.6 ghz dual core should be at 100 load. I'd checked drivers and restarted etc but the issue just seems to be the game causing this. Other people I've talked to with quad cores around 3.3-3.6ghz at the title screen are using around 40% cpu.

Anyone else with similar issue? Yea I know my processor is old but it was minimum for the game so I should at least be able to play it in some way ... honestly seems like the game thinks I have a quad core or something.

I have a pentium 4 660 prescott 3.6ghz it stays at 100% with this game, only uses 40% ram? ... =/

I have radeon 6950 2gb vid card and 12 gig ram and i'm only getting 10-20 fps, along with the texture pop ins. It is unplayable. my other games do not interest me at the moment, i only want to play RAGE.

I too have a core 2 duo, a e6750 to be exact, and the same problem happens to me. After the movie you‘re in the ark and the game starts and stops every 3-4 seconds or so. I had just updated to the Catalyst 11.9 drivers expecting they’d be ‘optimized’ for the game, but definitely not. I downgraded to 11.8 and then actually got perhaps 2-3 fps. Tried unchecking “Enable surface format optimization” and OpenGL “Triple Buffering”. Also, no go.

I even overclocked my 2.6 to 3.2, and no FPS difference or change in the texture loading. Also went as far as dropping the resolution, *gasp*, to 800x600 and still unplayable. I don't know what you're using for a video card but I've got an HD6870 which should be enough to run this game.

After looking through the forums it looks like many of the problems are related to the OpenGL stack being outdated for ATI's CatalystControl suite. According to their twitter account @CatalystCreator, updated drivers should be available in a few hours, that post was made 2 hours ago..

this morning i had a radeon 4890 1gb vid card and 4 gb ram. i uprgraded to the specs in my above post and i still get the exact same performance.

reinstalled all drivers, + updated rage performance driver, running gamebooster 3.0 and prio (to help...)

Game is SOOOO bad, it took 21 MINUTES (timed) to get to where you open the door of the ark (after video...)

so much freezing its unplayable, CPU still at 100%, RAM was at 52 instead of 40%

ran slightly better, but better doesn't mean squat. Cannot Play. Needs 100x fixed driver improvement or Patch (optimization)

Yup. i have a C2D E8400 @ 4ghz. And use 8xAA. 17-30 fps. only between 15 and 30% GPU Load. but always 100% CPU load.
And every 10-20 seconds the game freezes for 2-3 seconds ! unplayeable.

will they fix this game? I can't even move in the ark! Less than 1 FPS

I'm in the exact situation. Running a Radeon 4650. Not the greatest card but it should play this game at lower settings just fine. Have you heard if there is any truth to Steam accepting refunds for this game?

Hey ppl with the high processor usage problems, the fixes in this thread addressed those for me. Went from using 100% CPU in the menus to only 12-15% and only 75-80% in game.

i'm going to try this right now.

i disabled CCC and MOM in task manager and set DISABLE in profile of ati/ace text or cfg
