Wow, thanks to randomly seeing "+jobs_numThreads 0" the game now actually runs! So poor cpu optimisation then? Absolutely disgusted with id.

Now just need to sort out the FOV, but at least I can play the damned thing!

Even worse quite a few sites are using +jobs_numThreads 4 as a tweak

so anyone using those configs from the off will have problems. +jobs_numThreads 1 should in theory produce better results than 0 on dual cores but I've not tested it.

I've increased the FOV by 20 with the following launch command-

Looks much better.

You should be able to use +g_fov 90 or +g_fov 100 now with the latest patch.

Some of the larger ones in dead city disappear a couple of seconds after theyve been dropped, its annoying this happens as its one of the main complaints of doom 3 that everything felt sterile with the bodies magically vanishing. Obviously they listened to feedback 0_o.

My initial thought was that maybe they chose to conserve resources on the consoles, and disappearing bodies was perhaps one of those choices that were made. However, it didn't take me long to remember that one of the many apects I liked about Doom on the PS1, was that when you retraced your steps you could still see all the havok and carnage that you had been responsible for.

Seems fine now. constant 60fps and no crashes. still texture popping in tho.

Rroff · 9 Oct 2011 at 19:29

Couple of tweaks worth playing with are vt_lodbias and image_lodbias, setting them one lower than default can sharpen things up nicely but might cause noticeable mipmap shimmering.

image_lodbias -1 sharpens up foliage nicely at a distance and vt_lodbias -3 may produce nicer results on distant terrain tho depending on settings as I mentioned might produce distracting shimmer.

Say what you like about id, but they sure do know how to give you the willies. I'm on a mission to upgrade my defib in the sewers and the atmosphere created by the music and sound effects scares the Be-Jebus out of me.

Great art work from id, classic oil painting

, fun shooter. VSYNC is allways off, won't stick on or smart.

The sounds and music are some of the best I have ever seen in a game. It matches the stuff you expect to see in high end Hollywood productions.

Did I mention my speakers love this game?

JUMPURS · 9 Oct 2011 at 19:50

Since the patch i can now launch the game, but it loads with no textures at all.

Then when you press the esc key it doesn't bring up the menu it take syou back to the very first Rage 'press enter' screen.

If you have V-Sync forced in the graphics driver control panel it wont change in game.

hedgey · 9 Oct 2011 at 19:55

fov 90 looks miles better.

Nvidia CP is at default settings, apllication decides VSYNC state. Have tried online and offline in steam but just can't get VSYNC any other way than off. No big deal though, just curious why it won't stick/stay on or smart?. Good fun game though.

I have decided to wait on this game, give it about a month to mature abit.

Patches and drivers.

Anyone had a problem playing rage with SLI had to turn mine off as the graphics where rubbish with 470 sli on steam

I had it forced in Nvidia CP and it wouldn't stay on or smart, so turned it back to application controlled in CP and now it works in game.

I don't think SLI or crossfire are yet fully supported.

"+jobs_numThreads 1" gives me the_frozen_for_several_seconds_experience every 0.5 seconds

"+g_fov 90" works an absolute treat though. Although have decided to play on my m11x, as it plays far better than my main desktop. hohum!

Cheers, Paul.

hedgey · 9 Oct 2011 at 20:15

it doesnt NEED sli. 60fps on a 5850 with a c2d cpu at 1920x1200.

Aedus · 9 Oct 2011 at 20:16

Not followed this thread closely, honest opinions of this game?
Are the textures as bad as people made out on release or have the issues been fixed with configs and the patch?

Debating whether to get it to tide me over till BF3.

hedgey · 9 Oct 2011 at 20:28

my opinion - once you fix all the errors its worth playing. i think the word is perseverance.
