FusedCore has only tried to help people play a stable game of Rage and you give him a hard time ... just sad . I don't know FusedCore but I have to agree w/ him .......You seriously need to get a Hobby other then trolling. And you are trolling all one has to do is read this page to see it sad just sad :nono:

even though many people solved their problems, there are still lots of people who have problems whether they installed new driver or tweak some configure. as this result, it's not driver or configure issues. the game has critical problem since it didn't design for directX. openGL causes tons of trouble. tell me which game uses fully openGL rather than directX today? ID software applied wrong formula to make the game. they think that it would be innovative. we don't need innovation as consumers. we need stability, and reliability. when they think that it needs still works, then they are not supposed to do. it's only lab work. we don't want to be beta testers anymore. I am sick & tired.

I'm fairly certain this game requires direct-X... Wouldn't have been much point in steam forcing me to update it when I installed the game if it didn't, now would there?

Either way, I can actually get in game now, just... whenever I try to get into the buggy at the beginning, the game crashes. I've heard similar reports about vehicles causing crashes from others. I'm guessing their games worked before this patch.

Also, I'm guessing this is the second patch now? Since I did redownload the game, I'm guessing it got patched between when I downloaded it first and when I finished downloading it this time? I ask because last time I tried playing, it would crash immediately after the opening cinematic, but now it only crashes when I get into the buggy :P

I used the config file and modified it a little for my system. Everything indeed looks better, but still nowhere on par with a next gen game. I was really expecting something to task my system.
I have a i7-2600k running at 5GHz asus matrix gtx580 running at 1000MHz, and 16GB ram. The game generally uses only 50-60% of my GPU and 20-25% of my cpu. pretty weak considering the graphics could still be cranked up significantly.
I don't have any major issues with game playability. A lot of graphical lameness though. I notice the lines where some objects aren't lined up very well. And I can see them on the NPC's as well. You have your top config labeled as ULTRA which I wouldn't really state that. Curious though, why would you suggest to set number of threads as low as possible? I've got a quad core with 8 threads, I set the cfg to 8 and I haven't noticed any problems. The lighting in this game is lame too. It's using the same trickery that was in Doom 3, which was a great idea for the time as cards weren't really capable of the lighting we have today. The sky never moves, the light sources never change, and the light rays are just objects placed to look like lighting effects. I'm getting rather off track here but It's hard to let go of the fact that the game I have been looking forward to for so long has graphics on par with my 5 year old console. At the very least though the cfg is a work around that gets me playing the game. I was so dissapointed with the low quality graphics that I quit playing after 2hrs.

Rage No Config vs the HD(Ultra) Config v2.1.1 Comparison Screenshots here:
Pic1: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/88960
Pic2: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/88960/picture:1
Pic3: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/88960/picture:2

Your 'no config' screenshots are suspiciously blurry.

I took my screenshot with 8x AA and a large texture cache. No special config file was used. You very obviously sabotaged your 'no config' screenshots with a small texture cache to make them look bad.

FusedCore , I am asking for your help on something , I am running the game very smooth (40 FPS) With no texture pop-ins or artifacts at all after installing the 11.10 Preview 3 Driver (ATI) , However .. I am having very bright glares that just blind me when i look to them that make the game unplayable for me , They don't disappear no matter where i go or what i stand behind , Here is an Example :

I have already made a thread about this but no one seems to know a fix , Do you happen to know any fix for this? or maybe you can recommend some command line that can help fix this? I am really desperate to find a fix for this since its the only thing between me and playing RAGE :(

Funny how all the newcomers talk him as some kind of mastermind, thank him he's the actual real PC guy trying to help ... but i don't like overpraising.


I would have posted the same thing if i would liked to.

But my game hasn't arrived almost a week before the release, and currently im not playing due to issues and i don't want to be spoiled... but i am using first level for testing.


As a matter of fact ... im doing something neat as we speak ...


as you can see .... this game just ain't good enough for the PC master race ... they just aren't here until the editor is released or some kind of super quality pack.
