I tried to go back to these areas once I beat them for some side quests and to unlock some locked doors, but I can't now I crash every time I load into these areas. The loading spinner never turns and I have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to see a Rage has stopped responding message. Sometimes the auto save will allow me to enter some areas when I crash, like Races or the Fist main city hub (wellspring), but the some areas have stopped working entirely (Wasted Garage, Ghost Town, Scorched Basin). I have changed drivers, created cache folders, and edited the rageconfig.cfg to try and fix it and nothing seems to work.

Well, after being branded as a "whiner" after having this issue yesterday and pointing it out on several other forums looking for a fix, I am glad to see (but not glad for those having the problems) that it isn't just me. id, please fix your game, and stop leaving it up to us to use voodoo scattershot video settings to try to fix your game. PLEASE!

Hi,

i had the same problem; disabling my second monitor fixed it for me.
Hope this helps someone.

Best

Same here but now with adding the new drivers i cannot even get into the saved game. Straight to black screen and then crash.

Ghost Hideout continues to fail when trying to enter. Tried all the fixes and updates for drivers and game looks great, no hitching, but still cannot load into this area. As well trying to do back to back races or retry a mission ends in ctd.

Can't seem to get past the mutant bash part...everytime i finsih it and i go to exit it crashes....not a fan...and yeah still have lots of graphic issues as well...fantastic

Hey i just found a way to enter Ghost Hideout and some other place..

Just quit the game...re-start...try...crash...quit...re-start...try until it work... do this 2-3 time and it work...F$%? HATE THAT!!!!

But the sad thing it's really working for me...

Edit: Mutant bash lag as hell and crash 3 time lol

updating the drivers has nothing to do with this problem... this problem is within the game ...id needs to fix

This solved partialy my problems

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1237093-loading-screen-crashes-and-graphics-fix/

yeah can't even quit out of Muntant Bash casue thats the first place i saved...can either restart muntant bash, crash. Quit muntant bash, Crash. finish muntant bash make money, crash....so tired of this.

Find it funny that a Beta doesn't crash yet has slight graphic problems but a released game is just utterly f*cked

Actually I believe it does. The only people having this problem now are ATI users. I was having problems crashing when I brought up the menu system after exiting the Ark so I rolled back the driver. After doing that and starting the game the graphics were messed up of coarse but I could get to the menu and I could walk in and out of zones without it crashing. So I uninstalled all my ATI software and then installed the fix for Rage. Menus worked but now I can't leave Ghost Town. Crashes everytime. So unfortunately I think we'll have to wait until they get a fix for the drivers or patch the game to resolve this problem.

I have random crashes after entering some areas. For example, game crashed when I wanted to enter first quest area. I've tried again and game didn't crash, but all the graphics were completely blurred.
I also had problems saving game - game crashed.

EDIT: Yes, used hotfix for - that made possible for me to launch a game. Resolution: 2560x1440.

Count me in as well. Crashing when trying to load the Dusty 8 race track or the Shrouded Bunker area. Running a Radeon HD 5770 if that matters. Sure is hard to play this game when it seems almost no Q&A whatsoever was done on the final release candidate. You're slipping John...

I had this problem as soon as I tried the user fix with the Steam config file mentioned elsewhere on my first attempt to enter the Wasted Garage area. Tried it twice, then removed the config and it loaded fine. I'm running the updated Rage driver released yesterday. So its probably related to graphical settings/tweaks/etc.

I get crashes trying to re-enter ghost town and trying to enter the sewers for the first time. I also get crashes trying to start the second and third race in Wellspring.

Using rage config file and the updated driver (Oct. 4th, gpu-121 article), forced vsync through CCC. I also created the folder to allow Rage to make a cache file on my C:, and I am using the following startup strings: "+fc_maxcachememoryMB 1024 +vt_maxPPF 16 +set com_skipIntroVideo 1" This is NOT my only issue. I still get intermittent freezes that increase in severity and frequency the longer I play.

add me to the list

at first I thought it was just MB TV but now I cant even get back into the lab of that old dude. Always, crashes, on loading screen.

ive got a 100% crash on trying to enter the wasted garage ( the british raiders) for a side quest.

I earlier had no issues getting into the Wasted Garage when doing the first go through, at least once I dropped the config fix. But now I'm seeing the loading crash whenever I try to return to do the optional quests whether I have the config fix enabled or not. I have been able to make other loading transitions, though, so it seems to be related to just some areas.

So it looks like I fixed my problems.

To go back to the beginning, the 11.8 drivers have been solid for me from the start. Too much pop-in, but nothing else. 11.9 was a mess of artifacts, as was 11.10. 11.8 served me just fine but I installed the Rage specific driver over top of it (and I'm guessing it just replaced some files) to see if I got even better results. But I strongly suggest that driver is behind the failure to load issues, because that is when my troubles with that started. I completely went back to straight 11.8 and everything loads for me again. I'll try the config fix on top of that (I was using it on top of the 11.8/Rage combo earlier) to see if that fixes the pop-in, but at this point I'll live with the pop-in textures until a more complete driver comes along.

Hopefully this helps others. I'm running a HD 6850 card, FWIW.

Edit: Looks like I spoke too soon. The rollback to 11.8 allowed me into Wasted Garage and back out, but I still can't get into Ghost Town. And it wouldn't let me into Mutant Bash either, though the autosave put me in when I reloaded. But now it crashed when I tried to leave, so my autosave is still at the beginning.

Had random crashes here and there. Got about 3/4 of the main quest in and got a Job Board quest to Re-enter the Ark Sewer and clean sewer again. Now Ark Sewer has crashed on my 5 times. Reload game and try again and same thing.

Have tried older saves and gone directly to sewer, have tried enter other zones and then coming back out and enter Sewers and no joy!

Think a zone gets corrupted and just doesn't fix itself.
