I bought Rage on day 1 and have been holding off playing it because when I walked outside at the start of the game and looked down at the railing, it was as if the texture hadn't loaded, or was stuck on some 600x400 version.

I followed the general issues people were having with the game ie texture streaming and what have you, my game seems fine in those areas, just not in this one. Here is a screenshot to show what i'm talking about.

Well forget that, apparently I do not have permission to post links. Suffice to say i'm talking about the orange rusty railing in front of you as soon as you step outside at the beginning of the game.




I noticed when Mr. Carmack tweeted something about a fix coming for blurry textures, and there was some sharpening option added in a patch, however when i open up the game today this railing still looks like it's been ripped straight out of 1998. Combined with other blurryness that i'm sure has been discussed extensively (you can see some on the distant walls and parts of the ground in the opening area) I just wasn't up for playing the game if it was going to be giving me that kind of discrepancy as other aspects looked great - I loved the skybox.

I don't think this is a technical problem as such (as far as I can work out the railing is supposed to look like that) so i decided to post in general. I just want to know if there are any solutions to make it look better, whether through nvidia control panel, custom cfgs or maybe some mod.

Thanks
