Consolidated Tweaking Steps

Post » Wed Oct 05, 2011 8:10 pm

Hope this helps some people, but there are no guarantees in life.

(Commands for Steam/RAGE "Launch Options"): +cvaradd g_fov 12 +com_allowconsole 1 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +image_anisotropy 16 +image_usecompression 0 +g_showplayershadow 1 +m_smooth 0

(ATI Drivers for RAGE): http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU121AMDCatRagePerfDriver.aspx

(nVidia Drives for RAGE): http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-64bit-285.38-beta-driver.html

(Video to show some things to change, specifically the cache folder. NOT MY VIDEO): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ryK2PErQQc

(My video showing the game working. The quality is obviously better on my end in full 1080p, no youtube compression, or the FRAPs hit, but u get the idea): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEgAC3fPreQ

Also another tip, but I havent tested it since I have made some changes is that I disabled steam in game community and signed off of friends and it stopped some stuttering. I think this is a non issue now though. (worth a shot if need be)

For those that dont know. "Launch options" are in your steam games list. Just right click on RAGE, go to properites, and then hit launch options. Also, in most cases, Forcing AF in control panels can cause the "line issue" or "raging lines" to appear. So avoid that option.

Now you have a perfect RAGE (well not really, but hopefully improved)...though it work for me prior and I would like for someone to release a higher res texture pack.

Flame away if non of this helps, I will allow you to take your frustrations out on me ;) Thanks to any and everyone contributing to making this thing work.

Thank you for this.
Care to elaborate on this part:

(Commands for Steam/RAGE "Launch Options"): +cvaradd g_fov 12 +com_allowconsole 1 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +image_anisotropy 16 +image_usecompression 0 +g_showplayershadow 1 +m_smooth 0

I'm not used to steam and have no idea what that means. Other stuff was pretty staight foward.
