MAJOR PERFORMANCE FIX

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 8:41 am

entire config lists for high/med/low end computers.

Add this also to your config (if Low/Med PC) it wasn't in their list

seta fc_maxcachememoryMB "1024"

seta vt_maxPPF "8"
seta com_allowConsole "1"
seta com_skipIntroVideo "1"

seta cg_usecompression "0"
seta cg_useprecompressedtextures "0"

1/2 of those values listed there arent even valid entries...
For example there is no r_useMotionBlur on my system.
Likewise for many others. I wonder where that person is getting those entries from or if it is system specific.

I think all the ones listed below arent even there.
You can see whats there or whats not there by actually typing the value out without the seta or set, and it will show that these are invalid.


seta com_videoRam "1024" //sets the Video Card memory Set this to the amount you have in MB
seta com_maxfps "60" //limits the frames to 60 can be changed to what you desire
seta image_preload "1" //Use preload images when ever possible
seta image_ignoreHighQuality "0" //Sets up for using HQ gfx
seta image_ignoreLowQuality "1" //ignores the low textures
seta image_useCache "1" //Enabled Cache to allow the textures to load properly without popping
seta image_cacheMegs "125" //Cache size in Megabytes
seta image_cacheMinK "50" //Cache minimum size in kilobytes
seta r_useHighQualityPostProcess "1" //Fore High Quality post proccessing
seta r_shadowsHighQuality "1" //Fore High Quality shadows
seta r_displayRefresh "0" //keep it so the engine doesn't double render a frame
seta r_renderer "best" //highest rendering options
seta r_useHBAO "1" //Ambient occlusion
seta r_useRenderThread "0" // 0 Disable or 1 Enable threaded rendering useful for newer cards to increase performance.
seta r_visDistMult "1"
seta r_useMotionBlur "1" //use blur
seta r_skipBump "0"
seta r_skipSpecular "0"
seta r_skipNewAmbient "0"
seta r_cgFragmentProfile "best"
seta r_cgVertexProfile "best"

Did it and it bumped me up to 60 fps and everything looked great... then I entered Wellsprings and everyone there looked like Max Headroom (tons of flickering). I am just going to wait for a patch and a driver update.

Tried the medium systems settings and the game still locks up/freezes intermittently for me every 2-3 seconds. Horrible frame rates.

My system can play most games just find and do so eyefinity as well. There's no reason why I shouldn't be able to play this game.

My game doesn't load/use this cfg ??? I put 20 times and don't see difference

my game used it twice, then stopped loading the config. because the intro videos returned, yet console was still enabled.

I put the commands back into my STEAM Launch options.

Right click RAGE, then Properties, then SET LAUNCH OPTIONS

copy/paste:

+cvaradd g_fov 12 +fs_cachepath +fc_maxcachememoryMB 1024 +vt_maxPPF 8 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +cg_usecompression 0 +cg_useprecompressedtextures 0 +image_anisotropy 8 +image_preload 1 +image_useCache 1 +vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192 +vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192 +vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192 +vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192 +com_videoRam 1024 +com_maxfps 60 +image_usecompression 0 +image_filter "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR" +r_useHBAO 0 +r_swapInterval 0 +r_multiSamples 8 +r_shadows 0

I'm testing these 2 commands right now, because when i input the WHOLE new config, something made it not as "better" as this fix had started to work
//+image_cacheMegs 125 +image_cacheMinK 50

(i'm not running rage performance driver as well) but i'm hoping the increase performance from the new config, and the increase performance from the performance driver will combine (and make the game playable?) I'm suffering from freezes/lockups 100% CPU Use stuttering pop-in, everything but CRASHING. game runs at 13 Frames a minute without fixes =/ 30 frames a minute with fixes... if I can get a frame a second i'll be doing good LOL

None of the config fixes, performance patches, clean installs of anything seems to fix the texture load issue and screen tearing. I freakin give up on this game.

these two gave me double artifacting and triple/quadruple time during a "stutter/freeze/lockup"

+image_cacheMegs 125 +image_cacheMinK 50

I also have not been able to get my game to make a file in the appdata/local/id software/rage folder, i'm using Win 7 Ult 32bit any help?

i'm trying +r_displayRefresh 0 to check for increase.

I have had CCC and MOM and Catalyst disabled. AND IT HELPED.
