Couple of guides/fixes:

Config File Location

~\Steam\steamapps\common\rage\base\default.cfg

Enabling Console

In Steam launch options add +set com_allowconsole 1

Change FoV

Add the following line to the default.cfg file:

set g_fov 15

The above will add the number to 80 to produce the final fov. 80 + 15 = 95 fov.

Disable Mouse Accel

Add the following line to the default.cfg file:

set m_smooth 0

Texture Caching Issues

Cba summarising it
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=25497361#post25497361

Nvidia Card Issues

Disabling texture streaming in the graphics options can help if you're having artifacts and/or broken textures.

ATI Card Issues

Some are reporting that the 11.8 cats have the least issues with the game. Could be worth using until we get some new drivers.

AWPC IN SENSATIONALIST SHOCKER.

This why why I am glad I skipped this. Who cares how pretty it is (if your not having issues with the GPU transcoding most in the US are!):

"So, just to sum up my nine plus hours with the game so far:
•No story to speak of
•No characters that make an impression
•Linear
•Broken save system
•Dull mechanics
•Tedious quests
•Weak shooting
•Stock weapons
•Racing is fun
•Minigames are enjoyable
•Very pretty"

how pretty a game looks, brings you into a game.

i wouldn't want to play the latest shoot up in a 4 walled room with no outside skybox!

So cmon guys is it any good? graphically it looks stunning from vids i have seen but is it worth £30?

I'll probably be giving it a try after work via VPN.

The main issues at the moment seem to be the technical ones. These are kind of deal breakers if they are a problem for you. The actual game itself is getting relatively positive feedback for the most part.

•Broken save system

maybe only using checkpoints yeah but thank god for quicksaves.

I'm going to roll back my driver, do the config butchering etc and then try again.

Wow... You have to hope that those are due to some bug and are not the 'proper' textures.

 

[LeJosh]

That looks like a lighting issue to me.

And jesus that's an eye-botomy that thread.

That must be the auto-settings because mine doesn't look that bad, my background is way higher detail too!?

Some people just ignore me

The reason the recommendations are so low is because the textures are downsized/compressed a lot because of consoles. They couldn't do consoles and pc's seperately so console took priority. We was going to have much higher details but they couldn't do it.

Sounds quite feasible. I can't imagine even the sloppiest of QA would let that past.

 

[Jano]

Well, mixed reviews then. Certainly waiting a little while before making a choice on this one.

LOOOl ID you Fail. console took priority FUUUUUUU

That's what you get when you go multi-platform and focus on consoles as the lead in development, Carmack has admitted to this so it's no big surprise really.

Can you get some screen up, cheers.

Try the 11.8 drivers.

The OpenGL specific ones?
