Rage Loading Icon

Post » Fri May 04, 2012 9:41 am

Here's a small thing that's bugging me - the wingstick loading icon seems to freeze whenever it's loading a level on windows.
I know it's probably the most insignificant thing to care about, but it still annoys me how what's supposed to be a rotating icon of a wingstick just stays still.

This 'issue' doesn't seem to occour on the consoles or the mac version.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I was thinking something along the lines of the HDD acces time not being fast enough, but that wouldn't explain why it would work fine on a DVD version of Rage on Xbox.
I guess it could also be because of the game being installed to the same drive as the OS.

It's just confusing me, as certain other games have the same 'behaviour' such as Crysis, while many others don't such as (, Battlefield, Call of Duty series..)

On a side note: Most Unreal Engine 3 games seem to then freeze mid-game when streaming occours (typically freezes for 200-400 miliseconds, usually multiple frames)

Yeah, i noticed this too. Back when the game was newer i remember people here saying that it started or stopped after the update and things like that, but for me it never animated. Ever. I have win 7 64 installed on a ocz vertex ssd and RAGE installed on another vertex ssd, so it can't have anything to do with that. Also RAGE has always ran fabulous for me at 60 fps at 1920 x 1080 with 4x AA and 16X AF on an ATI 5770. Not sure why the loading icon does not animate, but meh. With games on an ssd the loading screens fly by anyways...

Love and Peace!
