Thanks for your help Rufio,

It would appear looking at the release notes, my issues are with single GPU performance and release 3 may be more suited so will try them.

One final questions, these are pre-release drivers not beta yeah?

Not sure on the status of the driver, all i know is that preview version 3 are almost the same as officials which will be released on the 31st according to http://twitter.com/#!/CatalystCreator.

Does anyone have any information on some decent configs or anything to help increase the graphics of this game?

Rroff · 24 Oct 2011 at 19:34

Aside from the 8k texture page size and dropping the lodbias a little theres not much that can be done to increase the graphic quality.

Just updated version 3 looks and feels more comfortable playing. I went back to the vault where I noticed the problems in the first place and def an improvement. I notice still a very slight lag in texture loading.. Is this what the small/large cache is for?

I notice no difference also between Low and High AF.

Good question that. PC|G magazine used to be good at providing this information on new releases. The file are normally in an .ini for .cfg file in the bin directory..

Just had a look in Steam>SteamApps>Common>rage>base>

6 x 360 config files - says it all doesn't it? :rolleyes:

Oh how the apple has fell very very far from the tree.

They're just the pre-set Xbox pad configs.

I don't see the issue there tbh, it's not like it's some relic that they've left in from the Xbox version of the game. :confused:

Yeah that is what small/large cache is for. I myself only get texture pop in when i first load the game up, after that it is really smooth, i use large texture cache with a 1gb 5770, rest of my system is almost the same as yours.

It's the same game on all platforms is it not?. Well, the pc version appears no differenct than its console counterparts so why would anything xbox in the pc folder make any difference really?. Imho

Admiral Huddy · 25 Oct 2011 at 10:08

I wasn't saying they do or don't make a difference. Just the fact they are there which highlights further the the port.

I 'd quite like to see more diverse settings for the PC based version for AF, textures and so forth. This was the only point I was making.

I some places, it looks great but in other.. well it looks more like MoH AA. I'm just looking the Garage area.. Very low object details.

can this be downloaded from any where else apart from steam ? cheaper

Whut?

They're pad configurations that allow people to use an Xbox pad on the PC version of the game natively and aren't references to the console versions in any way at all. Are you say that any PC game that offers a choice of anything but mouse and keyboard to it's players has to be a console port?

It's not been ported from the consoles as has been mentioned repeatedly. It's always been developed for multiple platforms from the beginning.

Most games do the very same thing, even Crysis Warhead, as I posted comparison shots here

Is anyone playing this at 2560x1600. I've got a gtx 580, latest beta nvidia drivers and the game is patched up to date. I've tried vsync on/off but I get monster tearing/wave effect when I look up and down. Is there some config file I can download or am I resigned to not being able to play this game for a while longer.

Boxed copy will be cheaper, its Steamworks anyway.

I think there are 4 main missions in the Subway. Though it's worth doing the Abandoned Distillery missions you get from Dietrich as well.
