Hi Guys,

i've just bouth Rage through Steam and as many other users, I can't play the game (I'm ATI owner). After watch the intro video, the game runs terrible slow (less than 1fps) and even freeze. I have tried to disable the Catalyst A. I. and then the game runs perfectly (60fps) but then appears teerible bad textures. I have also tried to update my drivers (11.10, 11.11, 11.11a, 11.11b and now 11.11c) without any success. I also have try different launch options like +jobs_numThreads 0 , etc.

This is an example how my game looks like:

Anybody has solve this problem?

My system specs are:

AMD Radeon 6790 HD with Catalyst Control Center 11.11c
Intel Quad Core q6600 2,66Ghz

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Not much you can do except wait for working drivers, or buy and Nivida card (that now works flawless with no pop in if you use the latest beta driver)

I didnt make a guide per say, but this is all the things I did in order to make the game work:
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1299955-another-fix-that-worked-for-me-ati-cards/
it will take you some reading and some time to do, but if you do there is a good chance it will run smooth.
I want to ask you that if you take the time and try it out and it works for you, give back by making a manual.
I already spent at least 5 hours reading and writing fixes that I am just tired of it, and now I play the game with no problems.

Thanks for the quick reply. Tomorrow I will try as soons as I arrive home. Thank you

After read all of your guide, the game continues freezing when I start. Seems that we will hace to still waiting...

I am sorry it didnt work out for you as well it did for me. perhaps your willing to add me on msn skype or just steam, I will try to go with you step by step on what I did. I am not an expert or anything just a gamer who tried things out, but I will do my best. send any of your contact information via pm.

work for me ati 6870,but still looking terrible texture

Yeah the fix I did on my machine didnt exactly boost the looks, but it got the game running with no lags or freezes, from here you can try and increase the grafics using the config file or ccc, and even game video options, but I havent tried it myself, I hope it will remain smooth when you mannage to fix the textures. I didnt do it myself since I dont want to break it again, and my machine is a bit older than most.

The game running smoothly in my machine,but I hate the terrible looks,I found this site , http://donotargue.com/cfg-makers/rage/,IThey got many option to configure and generate config file for rage in click of buttons, but It still not like 2011 game,maybe I have to wait for texture patch

ok I have try config file method and texture looks better,here is my config hopefully this will help some one:
name of config file: rageconfig.cfg
location:rage dir/base

Well, I have a 5830, so I dont know if it will help or not. But after turning off the catalyst ai (in the profiles.xml file) I placed the atioglxx.dll from the 11.9 drivers in the rage directory and that sorted out the texture problems.

Its not a perfect solution, the game crashed in a couple of places, (like every time I left the mutant bash section,) but you can get round that by careful saves or using the atioglxx.dll from the 11.6 drivers, ( I didnt use 11.6 all the time as the light had a strong glare effect when indoors.)
