Hey

OK, so the Official Rage Thread is doing the rounds, here, http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18303596 but it's currently 53 pages long and I fear a config may soon disappear. Hence my new thread. :)

So, at first I found Rage to be a graphical nightmare. I'm not far into the game but I've got flashing flag textures, I can see all the edges of the textures and some textures look a bit low res. I came across a config by "FusedCore" here, http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2156747 and used the "High-Definition" config.

I've since tweaked it ever so slightly and below are 3 quick screenshots. So far, it's looking very nice! :cool:

(Screenshots downsized from 1920x1200 to 1024x640)

Here are my small tweaks, everything else as is in the "High-Definition" config. I've upped the RAM and cache from 1024 to 2048 as I run a 6970 and I've upped the texture quality from 8k textures to 16k. I've also reduced mega texture max ansio from 4 to 2 to help reduce any graphical glitches:-

Code: 
seta com_videoRam "2048"
seta image_cacheMegs "2048" 
seta vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 "16384"
seta vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly "16384"
seta vt_pageimagesizeunique "16384"
seta vt_pageimagesizevmtr "16384"
seta vt_cacheMegs "2048"
seta vt_maxaniso "2"
Hope this helps some people out, like I say, it's not my config so please visit the link at the top of my post. But I'm (so far) more than happy with the results!

If you have a tweak that works, perhaps post it in here?

EDIT: Here are my CCC settings as well:-

Happy gaming! :cool:

Running textures at 16K is meaningless because their maximum size is 8K anyway.

I run the game at 1920*1200, 8*AA, GPU Transcode enabled, plus this rageconfig:

vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192
vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192
vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192
vt_restart
vt_maxaniso 4
image_anisotropy 4

+ the cache recreation tweak.

Game looks beautiful (when not examining textures from up close) and those buttery smooth 60fps are utterly gloooorious.
No texture pop-in or any other problems whatsoever.

What is the cache recreation tweak? :)

This is my config, from someone over on the Steam forums. I have a 1280mb 470 GTX and it runs smooth and looks great, texture popup is barely noticeable.

Just using a config consisting of

vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192
vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192
vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192
vt_restart
vt_maxaniso 4
image_anisotropy 4
Click to expand...

and launch options of

+cvaradd g_fov 20 +set com_skipIntroVideo 1
Click to expand...

Still having some minor pop in but overall it looks really nice, only played 15 minutes so far though.

Constant 60 FPS with an ageing 5850.

Could someone post an idiot's guide to locating the config file that needs to be changed & how to make the changes. I'm using an MSI GTX 560Ti with 2048RAM. Thanks.
 
I followed all the tips in the video above but still getting pop in - not too bad but still there; forced vsync and thankfully no more screen tearing.

How do you create a config file? Its quite a while since I had to tweak something so much to get running right.

Particularly interested in the 8k textures tweak. Thanks.
 
is it just a case of adding a text document called rageconfig.cfg to Rages base folders and then editing with notepad to add the configs?

Cos thats what i did and now i just get a black screen when loading the games :confused: Even when the rageconfig.cfg files have been deleted :mad:
