!!**Official RAGE Thread**!!

After a few hours of RAGE I must say I do think its pretty good, runs fine now and I think it looks more than fine.

Does feel a little old fashioned though, keep expecting to level up :)
 
I've only had to use my fists and pistol so far >< Maybe I should have set it to something harder than normal...

Mutants are terribly easy, just stand there and punch when they jump at you. Their head explodes!

This is ridiculous. I installed cat 11.10 and it's no better than 11.9, game just keeps freezing for several seconds about every 5 seconds. 11.8 worked but with stupidly low framerate. Is there some patch?
Also, why isn't it possible to skip the opening scene?

Here's how I got mine working, after the freezing fest of late that you just described. Number 3 is really important, as is the custom config. As I got the game to stop freezing up with job_numThreads 0, and got the game smooth with the config.

1. Game was patched via Steam to new version
2. Installed 11.10 preview 2 drivers
3. Added Rage launch options in Steam with: +set com_skipIntroVideo 1 +jobs_numThreads 0
4. Created a new "rageconfig.cfg" in steamapps\common\rage\base
5. Put the following into the rageconfig.cfg

vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192
vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192
vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192
vt_restart
vt_maxaniso 16
image_anisotropy 16
seta vt_lodBias "-1"
seta image_anisotropy "16"
seta image_usecompression 0
seta image_lodbias "-1"
seta image_ignoreLowQuality "1"
seta image_ignoreHighQuality "0"
seta image_useCache "1"
seta com_videoRam "1024"

6. Save, close, and run Rage.

I wouldn't be so sure, the mutants seemed to be (mostly) a 1 punch kill even on Hard. Hell I just ran up behind an Authority Sniper and 3 combo punched him into the dirt despite the fact he's wearing a full suit of armour.

If you're even reasonably competant at shooters you should probably go for Hard or just straight to Nightmare.
 
Gave this game another try, most problems have been fixed apart from something that I want to call screen tearing but can't be...i tried vsyn on off smart through nvidia panel nothing helps but anyways.

download nvidia inspector and clock on the icon of 2 tools then edit the RAGE profile and click apply by default its forcing vsync to off
 
As much as I quite like this game, I seem to get bored very easily of it. It doesnt seem very "different" at all. Although I have only played it for 4 hours. Does it improve? Cos I want to enjoy it more
 
I'd agree with the sentiment that Normal isn't a challenge, Hard is probably best for most people... that said I've yet to die after 10 hours play.

In all my time on hard (just left Wellspring after ~10 hours) I've only died twice. Once was being a little reckless in the presence of a heavy who didn't die quite as fast as I'd hoped and the other was a surprise dropship right next to me in the open while I was being a little suicidal.

Anyone know what the difficulties effect? Like how much harder Nightmare is than hard?
 
People say its working flawlessley, well it doesnt work with sli or crossfire. So that's defo wrong. You have do disable the other card to get it to work with 2.

True enough that SLI isn't supported yet, I'll admit I was slightly disappointed at not being able to use both my cards.

One card eats it for breakfast and plays flawlessly anyway. So I got over it pretty quickly…

A friend of mine that works for Nvidia says that a driver with Sli support is in the works and should be out soon.

To be fair, for the amount of processing power the game requires, xfire or SLI won't be of any benefit.

Yea was thinkinking the same but its annoying having to turn xfire off and on between games so if it ran the same as a single gpu with xfire on, id be happy :)

Going to have a gd session on this tnite! So do u have to make a config file in the rage folder for these 16k textures? Couldnt find the config file last night!
