The new drivers still don't work with Rage???
WTF did Carmack do to screw AMD?
You think he would actually be able to fix his damn engine.
Every other game, new and old works flawlessy except for Rage.

Thank you it works again really anoying that these bugs come and fu*k up RAGE

Id does not make the drivers. Id can't make the drivers. Their was no way for id to screw AMD. The engine is solid. Most other games use DX or very old versions of open GL 1 rage. Rage uses open GL 3.2. Open GL has been out for 2 years. ATI still does not correctly support it. ATI could have open sourced the drivers so every one can fix the issues, but they decided to keep them closed , even though they are to incompetent to fix the problem internally.

I have a pint glass.
Every day I put a pint of beer in it and it works great. Yummy beer.
One day I put a liter of beer in it and it overflowed, spilled all over the table, and made a mess.

Obviously the fault of the beer.

i suggest skyrim, no problems at all, hundreds of hours gameplay and fun. 11.11 driver still doesnt work, you start wondering what they have been doing. nobody talks about rage anymore, it's all BF3 , mw3 and skyrim, which is a great thing, we talk about balanced games.

It would seem unthinkable that they have been developing the game for so long without testing it on AMD cards or their newer drivers.

The story behind the AMD release day troubles as I understood it was that id tested it with 'fixed'/optimized drivers from AMD, but on Rage launch day AMD didn't manage to release the correct version. What happened after that I don't know, all I know is that only with 11.11 now finally released I can finally play Rage on my AMD GPU. I get the impression AMD's always been very slow to roll out 'fixes' (not neccesarily due to incompetence but maybe they have some elaborate release engineering process) and they already had to deal with releasing Battlefield 3 optimized drivers, maybe that screwed things up too. Not sure if I should blame id or AMD, clearly id shouldn't have made their game depend so heavily on some specific driver release without guarantees it would be available on launch day... but maybe they both deserve some heat.

As for the root cause of the issues, Rage being an OpenGL game and megatexturing being a somewhat unique technology, it's entirely possible neither Rage or the AMD driver had any actual bugs but Rage simply could have used the OpenGL api (which isn't used for Windows games very often anymore) in ways that aren't as optimized as could be om AMD's drivers.. that's pure speculation, but something that should be considered before you start pointing fingers

The story is much simpler: total chaos at the ATI drivers division at AMD! They messed up four drivers in a row!
