It would be fascinating to hear some results from this one. From the look of the release notes it's entirely possible that AMD could leapfrog NVIDIA as the hardware of choice for Rage - assuming that they've got it right this time, of course. That would be a nice surprise - getting some more genuine GPU vendor competition going is always a good thing for customers.

Just played for an hour. This driver is as stable as 11.10 Preview 2, and no texture corruption.

I′ve read this driver is for AMD cards of the 5000 and 6000 series. I own a Radeon HD 4850. Can anybody confirm improvements for this type of AMD cards as well?

unbelievable! for the first time since rage came out, i can play the game without any issues on my primary machine.. no freezing while quicksaving, no crashes while changing levels and no texture corruption.
maybe it's to early to celebrate, but to me it looks like ati/amd has finally fixed the damn opengl driver, at least for rage.

Yeehaw!!!!!!!! I′ve almost given up on this game BUT 11.11a seems to have finally put an end to the clusterf*ck of the recent weeks. RAGE now runs on high resolution without artefacts, popping textures and all the issues I had with the game.
Oh happy day....

Guys, I have a 4830. If it says it works on 5000 and 6000, you can install it for a 4000 series and it will work just the same, relax ;)

Looks like a good result then. Happy days for AMD folks. :)

Any definite confirmation from the 4000 owners? Can someone actually say "I installed it and it worked"?

Hi All
I am about to test to see if this driver allows me to play Rage finally
I noticed I was running in Safe Mode so I went to the Steam launch options and deleted the default line ,now Rage wont start at all . What should be in the Steam Launch Options in a default installation of Rage ?
Thanks

Steam launch options are empty by default. If you have a rageconfig file you should delete or rename it as the options you have in it may not be needed for (or may cause trouble with) the new driver. Once you've done this, you should probably run in safe mode once to reset all cvars back to their defaults, then put launch options back to empty.

Seems i spoke to soon.
The crashes when i save are gone, but the game still crashes when im changing zones.
Strangly though the game saves after changing zones now so when i load up it carrys on from the new zone which didnt happen before.
Ah well, keep waiting i guess.

To be honest, i blame ATI for thier continuos lack of driver support. So i'm now saving to buy a Nvidia card. Rage is not the first game ATI has had issues with, anyone that uses CF will probably know that Driver and support are two words ATI dont understand. Yes nvidia has had its issues too, but they are quite fast in producing Beta drivers, i had few issues with SLI.
Can't say as I'm interested in ever buying anything AMD or ATI now. Always had problems in the past, and doesn't seem to be getting better.

I also blame ID, they should have made sure the ATI drivers they were working with, were actually going to be the same drivers ravailable on release day..... and that they work. what about backwards compatibility. yes the consoles are a much bigger market, crap like this happening to PC's dont help with the PC market. i'll be seriously thinking twice before i go out to buy anything ID has had dealings with, game engine included.

as much as i know Betheseda are also to blame, i have noticed all ad's for Rage have discontinued in our country, they do have this forum for us and i haven't seen any sign of mass censorship to hide the fact the PC version of rage is a flop.
guilty by asociation and i cant say i can trust them, from the looks of things, Skyrim is also plagued with issues.

Add the fact i cant trust Funcom either, i'm running out of gaming options, where to from here? .........Blizzard?

Oh and yes, i agree, there may be a day the game will actually be playable, i haven't paid money for an unplayable game that will never work. but by the time it does work, the game will be found in the local bargain bin for 80% less
So thanks Bethesda for releasing a largely unplayable game
thanks ID for thinking towards your future and forgetting about our present and your past.
Thanks ATIAMD for staying true to yourself and just failing at providing useful support.



BTW, the game is still unplayable for me, my 6950 just declines to work as it should. new install of windows 7 x64, many versions of ATI drivers, alot of "patches".
i even tried a friends 4890, it kind of works but still crashes and glitches. The issue i'm having with rage definilty isnt due to faulty hardware either, PSU has plenty of juice, problems persist on friends computer and this forum confirms the problems i have are widespread. look forward to seeing the outcome with a GTX580

time to go find a console to burn
