Installed RAGE yesterday and i'm getting texture artifacts when playing the game, so distracting its unplayable.

This video (not mine) shows what kind of texture artifacts i'm getting. As I'm running XP i can't install the 'AMD Catalyst Rage Performance driver' as its a windows 7 only driver.

Is there any solution to this?


system specs are

AMD Phenom II x4 965

ATI Radeon HD 4800 running catalyst 11.9

Have the same problem with my 4850

On my system, enabling catalyst A.I. solves the textures but makes my framerate drop to 2-3, so the choice is: high framerate or proper textures.
Any idea how to solve this?

you have an ATI card why do you think you can play this game?

Yes i find turning on the catalyst AI helps,also turning off any sort of vertical refresh/ vsync reduces the artifacting(still happens though) but doing so adds annoying flickering.

Yes, I know. But this flickering in my case is 1-2 frames per 10s! It's unplayable.

im running AMD Phenom II x4 965 with 2x HD6850`s using Catalyst 11.9 RAGE drivers with teh launch settings that are under teh support section of the forum, and am getting constant 60fps, so far have only had teh odd character flashing lol, but other than that its running fine here and am enjoying it .

From looking around on other forums this texture checkering issue seems to happen on the Radeon HD 4000 series. The 5000 and 6000 seems to be working okay.

HD 5770 here, same problem.
Tried numerous fixes but nothing has worked so far, usually every 'fix' just made it worse. Losing all patience =/

ALso on my HD3650 AGP, when i tun AI off i cant even play the game its locks when loading is complete and spwaning world, but with it it plays really smooth, but with random tiles cover the entire playground.
