How does it fare on the consoles? do they have any of the problems we are having?

I mean it's obvious we just got a straight port from the looks of things but from the sheer amount of bugs/glitches ect it's as if it was ported and never tested.

Stuff like this goes a long way towards convincing me to avoid all pre-orders from now on. far too many games are released is a shoddy state lately.

Friend has PS3 version said whilst it does have texture popping he finds it very enjoyable he did try PC version also and said that in comparison PC is far far worse. His rig isnt super high but still more than capeable of playing new/high-end ish games.
 
I'm not going to play this until they patch it, I'm so disappointed. One of the reasons I buy for pc is the superior graphics.
 
So he is basically trying to use excuses and get out of the mess he has made? Whilst consols arent as powerfull they have many great looking games in there own right.

ALL devs have become lazy to the PC over recent years which is a shame but when a PC game is done right there extremly hard to beat

Is that config file actually working? coz for me it does nothing it seems to be ignoring rageconfig.cfg :(

It makes an ever so slight difference, the main thing I've noticed is that there is no tearing if I force vsync on in the cfg (global setting to app pref in nvidia panel).
If I try to change textures to 16k my game crashes when loading into the the level so I think some settings are doing something at least.

My frame rate is stuck at 60fps so the set limit in the cfg obviously does nothing either :(

Theres definately been some recycling from Doom 3 in this game. Anyone else noticed the combat shotgun uses the same reload animations? Same for the authority machingun, it even looks like a modified version of the machinegun in doom 3, the p90 wannabe. The rocket launcher again seems to be taken from doom 3 and shrunk slightly.
 
Well I have finally got my games working and the textures no longer pop up at the sides. Now I have played abit I can say it is a great shooter. It is the first time I have seen animations on the enemies where they actually react to every bullet that hits them. I have been wanting to see this for years.
 
Using a 5870 + 3.4ghz C2Q and the rage drivers, the game runs smooth at a near constant 60fps at 1920x1080 with 4xaa. I get slight fps drops when entering new areas, but on the whole performance seems very good and consistent, like most idsoftware titles in the past.

Unfortunately the game has clearly been released unfinished. The texture pop in is ridiculous and a much bigger problem than the blurry texture. I mean wtf were they using to test this game - a 12" vga crt? Either that, or they forgot that they were developing the game for a PC.

Also the vsync implementation is broke and I get ridiculous amounts of tearing, even though the fps counter reads 60fps. I also think it's absurd that we PC users now have to scavenge around the installation files to change basic graphics settings - it should be an extra avenue for configuration not the only one! From a long standing PC developer like id software, it's pretty damn disappointing.

As a result I'm going to hold off till they patch this. Yes, I know there are fixes/tweaks, but I feel it's not really my job to fix stuff I just bought new. I can tolerate certain bugs/glitches in games, but this has clearly crossed the line.

Such a shame, as the game clearly has some jaw dropping attention to detail in some areas.

to fix fov add to your launch options
default is 80 so the below options add to this.

+cvaradd g_fov 10 for 4:3
+cvaradd g_fov 20 for 16:9
