What is going on here?

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 7:44 am

I have:
AMD Sapphire HD4850
Intel Core2 Quad Q6600
4GB DDR2 RAM
Windows 7 32-bit

I bought the game last night, and I've been suffering crashes and freezes nonstop. I got the v2 preview drivers from AMD's website, but all that did was make it worse. So, I tried to play onward, but now I get this:

What the crap is this? How do I fix it?

I had the same problem with that driver , but I uninstalled it and installed the RAGE amd driver , it sorts out the graphics brilliantly but when you goto a new area the game crashes , we will just have to wait for an updated patch yet again :(

I had tried the Rage Performance driver, but it does the same thing.

I had that happen originally. The textures looked fine when it would load from a save, but then when I left the area I was in, they were all monocolored.

That is from disabling Catalyst A.I.

Try turning it back on or setting the Catalyst A.I. to "Standard" or "Advanced"

At least you can actually play the game, it takes me over 10 minutes just to get out of the damn cryogenic pod due to immense lag, and I have no clue whatsoever how to solve it, ive downloaded the nvidia update multiple times, but steam repeatedly tells me its not up to date even though nvidia does, and even with the update and doing what people are posting will help doesnt help me

Sorry to inform you but for now Dual core or Core 2 duo users are [censored] :( (I also have dual core)

If you use AI (ON) you get epic mother[censored]in freezing , If you dont use AI (OFF) you get epic mother[censored]in [censored] up textures like the ones in ur pics...

All we can do is sit and hope ati releases a driver for this soon .. but dont hold your breath though .. they first gonna release CF drivers.

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1238991-proper-fix-for-hd-4000-series-with-dual-core-processors/ helped me a little. It fixed the texture problem from loading, but once I cross to a new level, the textures look monocolored again.

That doesn't make sense that duel core processors would mess up. What was Carmack using when he made this? A Pentium 4?

Also http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1238209-low-end-ati-hd-card-game-fixed/ and that didn't help much.

You can't play without CatalystAI textures will be corrupted. What you need to do is to set variable jobs_numThreads to 0. You can do that by adding following as a command option:
+cvaradd jobs_numThreads -1
Make sure you use latest AMD_Catalyst_11.10_preview2_Win7_Vista driver as it increase framerate big time. Also you can search steam forums for some custom config files to fine tune the game to your hardware.

I tried doing that. Every time I go to load another level, the graphics glitch out to monocolored textures, and then if I go to the menu it crashes.

What's annoying is this game came out on the 4th, and it's now the 9th, 5 days later and there's still problems. What a waste of 60 bucks this game was.

I had this problem non-stop until I started a brand new game. See this tread > http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1239172-artifacts-unloaded-or-wrong-textures-start-a-new-game/

patched, preview v2 drivers, all catalyst settings back to default, no rageconfig.cfg, no launch conditions, started a brand new game.

Prior to that, I had launched the space shuttle several times with no luck.

I have tried many times to restart the game, and every time I do, it either crashes or goes monotexture when I go into the bandit layer.

Damn, then I'm going to agree with the first 62% of Danglee's comment.

Yardwasted, even if your response starts with 'TROLL', you still lose by posting. :wink_smile:

Is this going to be the same what happed with BioShock? Developer will deny anything was wrong with their game, then make 4 or 5 patches that do absolutely nothing?

in game development denial seems to be 9/10ths of thier law.

if the gamers keep falling for it,then you cant really blame the devs for pulling the shill game constantly.


whats making me laugh is the trolls are saying it works perfectly,when we all know the actual game is broken and unfinished,so either the trolls are fixing thier own copy or...errrrm lying.

Its real , Here is notes from the patch :

"If you have an AMD graphics card with a dual core CPU system you may experience severe hitching and low frame rates. This has been identified as a driver problem. We are actively working with AMD on a solution to this problem. As a temporary workaround you may add the following to the RAGE launch options in Steam:

+jobs_numThreads 0

The launch options can be found by right-clicking on RAGE in Steam and selecting "Properties". Then click on "Set Launch Options" in the dialog that pops up."

The numthreads did not help me a bit , Game still locks/freezes if AI on and get ur problem if AI Off , So as i mentioned before .. i am gonna wait for a new driver .
