Wow man it works and runs at about 95% and that's good enough for me, so thank you for your awesome work, but i have 1 issue and that is when i go to the ghost hide out it freezes and even if i try to save it also freezes and lock up, could you help me with this please?


My System:

Win 7 - 32 bit
Intel? Core? Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz
Gigabyte 965P-DQ6 - 6-Quad M/board
4GB duel kit
ATI HD5970 2GB GDDR5 Memory, PCI E - 16

Thanks for giving me credit Trooper; very much appreciated.

An update though: I will be changing the picture that shows the settings I use. I just found out several things after the tweaks I made:

1. I can run the game at 1024 resolution without the game degenerating into a stuttering mess
2. I can now apply 2x anti-aliasing without the game degenerating into a stuttering mess
3. I can now activate Texture Cache --- this is highly dependent on your system though (it's dependent on video RAM according to the Nvidia article)
4. The Texture Cache setting is bugged for me (I don't know about other users): every time I load the game up, it reverts to "Small." Setting it back to "High" produces no problem (for me) so that' what I do every time I load the game up.

I can run the game at 1152 resolution but I notice my eyes get tired fast. There's a discernible amount of stutter whenever I set it to that level.

The reason it reverts to Small is because you have it set to Small in Config or Launch Application or even maybe in your Rage.exe Shortcut.

My Catalyst Version is 11.10

following Rob UK's post i got RAGE to work (bizarre fix) and it truly looks amazing.
I've followed http://forums.bethso...63-bizarre-fix/ advices with a little change here and there:

step 1 : installing ati drivers
install CCC and ati drivers 11.9

step 2 estimated time 1 minute
go to program files
steam
steamApps
common
rage
right click on rage.exe
set compatibility mode "Win98/ME"

Not working for me. Still have 0 fps after intro video.

step 3 : estimated time 2 minutes
go to steam
rage
right click on rage
properties
set launch option
and add following line:

+cvaradd jobs_numThreads -1 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +seta com_allowconsole 1 +vt_maxPPF 8

(remark: here i use parameter +vt_maxPPF 8 that is for dual core processor, for quad core this should be +vt_maxPPF 16
the parameter gives better streaming textures for multi-core systems)


step 4 : creating the RageConfig file - estimated time : 5 minutes (**)

** props to user "ildamos" for the perfect tutorial and explanation:
check out http://imbacore.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-solve-rage-texture-streaming-pop.html for more info. (also for nvidia users)

here i give 2 options:
A ) option A : 4K textures: depending on your system! (for every user it will be a different : i first tried 4K which was ok but then i tried 8K and was blown away)
B ) option B : 8K textures : top of the notch, high end textures. It works for me on a 1 GB VRAM card. These textures blew me away and give a different feel to the game, kinda cartoonisch but very slick and sharp.
(1,5 gb vram is recommended but it works for me on a 1gb vram card so i guess it works in general? waiting for updates on that one)

1. Option A explained:

go to program files
steam
steamApps
common
rage
base
now right click in the folder
click on NEW
create text document with the name RageConfig.cfg
edit with text editor and add following lines:

vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 4096
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 4096
vt_pageimagesizeunique 4096
vt_pageimagesizevmtr 4096
vt_restart
vt_maxPPF 8

EXPLANATION:
the 4096 stands for the type of textures you wanna use, in this case 4K textures
the 8 in the last line is for dual core systems, make it 16 if you have a quad core system

save the file

2. Option B explained:

go to program files
steam
steamApps
common
rage
base
now right click in the folder
click on NEW
create text document with the name RageConfig.cfg
edit with text editor and add following lines:

vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192
vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192
vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192
vt_restart
vt_maxPPF 8

EXPLANATION:
the 8192 stands for the type of textures you wanna use, in this case 8K textures
the 8 in the last line is for dual core systems, make it 16 if you have a quad core system

save the file



start the game through steam
go to settings
video settings
turn Vsync ON (you can leave it off, but i turned it on to get rid of image tearing (horizontal lines while looking around in the game world within rage)
play the game

F5 and escape key work again ingame and everything seems to work fine.
Textures load in good, although a tiny little bit slower than perfect, but maybe its just a small parameter i need to change? someone knows?

good luck! I'm testing rage at the moment, updates on new issues follow later, if there are.

PS: steam says 5 hours gameplay, but i have none. I was fixing issues.

SPECS AGB VRAM XFX ATI 5870 XXX ON QUAD CORE INTEL 3,00Ghz
4gig ram
amd 11.9 drivers for ati



issues after testing:
- inbetween levels, while loading, the game sometimes freezes.
-other than that everything seems to work fine with a little bit slower texture loads.
F5 and escape to menu works and doesnt cause crashes anymore

fix dosnt work for me at all. followed directions to the letter. experiencing freezing in loading as reported, and corrupted textures still.

specs :

AMD Phenom X4 3,2 Ghz
4 GB RAM
ATI 5770 HD

Try it with the 11.10 driver, that's what I did. I had the same problem as you at first.
Also set the Steam programs affinity to real time.....that stopped the lag.

Good luck

doesnt work for me, all the graphics are gray and black squares.....
please help me !






i5 2500
hd 6950
4 g ram
windows 32 bit

Works for me but the only problem now is that everytime I go into a new area or if a new area loads, there is texture corruption.

I get that in 2 out 5 or so loads. Reloading promptly fixes the problem since the game autosaves every time you enter a new area. Cheers.
