It's at least playable, but when you run the textures are not detailed and wehn you stay it's great!

So I did this whole process, thanks by the way, and my game is playable. Amazing, bro. I do have the textures popping in but considering that I couldn't even get out of the first room before I'm not complaining. This is not perfect by any means but acceptable until a patch comes.

Now if a patch does come do I need to revert all this stuff back to "normal"?


So after using this fix I get a message that achievements are disabled because the console is running, any way to fix this? Not a deal-breaker for me but achievements are fun.

Yes, to disable the console just remove the line +com_allowconsole 1 from your shortcut properties -OR- change the value to "0".

I have a 4670 and it worked pretty well here. Textures seems fine now and the game stopped freezing.

I get around 15-20 fps so the game is playable now.

Do u also get around 15 fps?

Thanks, really helped.

LOAD NEW AREA CRASH WORKAROUND ( i hope ) :)


Remember the cache folder we made in appdata\local\id software\rage ?

Before starting the game, Delete the 2 files in the rage folder ....

This does not stop it totally from crashing, but after a while ....

I was able to load BashTV and complete it and exit .... just to be safe i did BTV 3 times in a row but crashed on the 4th time through at the exit of BashTV

I even mad a batch file on my desktop for it :)

Open a notepad copy and paste the following into the notepad...

cd..
cd..
cd..
cd C:\Users\ZanBarBone\AppData\Local\id software\rage
Del /q *.*


Then SAVE AS RageCacheClear ( or whatever floats yer boat) but you must save it as .bat

I also set the config file to +com_allowconsole 0

I also found out you need to start a new game in order for achievements to turn back on. I guess using the console at any point during a particular save game makes it a no go.

I did everything, and was happy to see that the game was finally running properly for me. Still some minor texture pop in, but nothing that was any worse than the xb360 version. The only problem is I'm still getting game crashes. I'll be playing (using a gamepad), and then the game will lock up, and the mouse cursor is on the screen. I have to alt+tab out of it, and then I see the "Rage has stopped working" box so I have to close it.\

Has anyone else had this problem? any potential solution? the game is fully playable and works otherwise, but these crashes make me wanna save every 30 seconds.

I've used all the tips in this thread and my game is working well, no crashes etc. Just curious, has anyone has gone back and updated drivers since the patch went live? I'm still seeing the textures load in as I look around in-game and would like to reduce this at some point.

Right click on rage in steam in your list of games, then choose properties.
Then choose "Set Launch Options"

LOL. I will wait for a patch rather than doing this space shuttle launch sequence. :blink:

It's called proper PC maintenance. Welcome :)

It's been that for years ... and still is wther you like it or not, until lazy mainstreamers invaded, and they have to dumb things down.


Just as i said in one of my threads, 40% of problems on low ends is due to inexperience in PC maintenance , less but still some on high ends , there are many richy boys with parents buying them top hardware but they never got real experience working on PCs before. I started with a very basic office PC that ran only AOE2 , Dune2000 , NFS4 , duckshots and bombermans. I had no idea what it could run since didn't knew any more games at that point (no net) , but it was very non-gaming , it was broken 2 times.
