AMD drivers + Rage = fucked up. Somehow I managed to fuck my drivers nicely. My second gpu is not even recognized, sigh.....

I couldn't enable CrossFire and then saw that the AMD External Events service had crashed. Tried to restart the service but no dice. Restarted my machine and then everything was recognized and enabled in CCC.Doc Holliday said:

I played and beat a review copy over the weekend (360) and here's how I feel: *slight spoilers ahead*
The game is pretty good.
-The gunplay feels awesome in the beginning of the game, the hit reactions on regular enemies is amazing - people buckle, wince, trip, etc. It looks awesome, especially when you hit them with some of the heavier weapons and ammo. Unfortunately, this fucks up later on because a ton of the enemies are boring bullet sponges. You're supposed to use special ammo types to circumvent this but they still take a lot of hits.
-Side quests are useless. Most of them feature you going back to a story mission and doing it again with tougher enemies, sans any kind of story. It's boring padding.
-The driving feels great getting from place to place (except the ATV - it feels weirdly sticky) but it doesn't really feel right for racing. The controls are sort of finicky and some of the tracks have stupid invisible walls that you can snag on if you go off the track or ramp too high in the air. Car combat is fun though.
-The story is tripe. There's pretty much no motivation to keep moving forward, and things really drop off when you go to the second hub. By then you'll have most of the weapons, access to tons of cash to buy mats and ammo, and you'll have two or three levels of armor upgrade.

break to warn of ultra spoilers!
On the second disc, you migrate from a red desert to... a gray desert. It was pretty disappointing. The second hub town is pretty cool though.
Highlight here to return to gameplay related mini spoilers:
-The world is actually fairly small.
-The guns are all pretty awesome, in particular the shotguns and the crossbow.
-There are minigames, but other than a novel little Magic: The Gathering knockoff they're pretty forgettable. The best part of the game is shooting dudes in the face and looking at the gorgeous graphics.
-It IS amazing on 360. The image quality, framerate, animation... gobsmacking. Probably the best looking console game I've played this year.

My review will be going up tomorrow morning, so if people are interested I'll link it.

Well, I decided to uninstall my drivers after trying to "Rage hotfix", and then ran Driver Sweeper. I rebooted and installed the 11.6 Catalyst drivers (what I was using this morning), and now the flickering/screen tearing problem is completely gone!
The horrible texture pop-in (spinning around is hilariously bad) and relatively poor framerate are still present, though.

So are all (or the vast majority of) the pc users freaking out owners of ati cards? I played the game for about an hour, the only issue I experienced was the annoying screen tearing, which I took care of by forcing vsync through the nvidia control panel. I've noticed some minor texture pop-in if I spin around fast enough, but nothing as heinous as that youtube video a page or two back.
Game seems to get off on a slow burn after the opening, about the only strong opinion I have at this point is that guns and enemy reactions to being hit feel really satisfying. I love going for a headshot, watching the bandits helmet pop off as he staggers back. I also love the movement patterns of the melee-centric enemies that bound and roll around, wish the a.i. was a little on the brighter side though.

Maybe this is a pre-load issue with Steam? Has anyone here having issue's done a retail copy install?

Took a leap of probably dumb and impossible faith, but asked for a refund from Steam. Should have just waited for a sale, but the hype got to me! Nothing against RAGE (besides the aforementioned glitches and such), but just too many games to play to pay $60 for this game at this time.
*fingers cross*

Please tell me how stupid I am for thinking Steam will refund me

They'll probably (99%) tell you no, but if you reply but I've hardly played it blah blah, there are a lot of people who experience issues, etc there's a chance, they'll say alright.
Brink is the only true stand out as being a real piece of shit on launch day, imo (from pre orders that i bought) ...but it was also fucked on consoles from what i hear.
Dead Island was a little shaky, but nothing right terrible. was patched up quick at least.
Brink was the worst i've seen anyway.
Rage is working good for me. i just completed the first quest.
am i the only one not having any real issues here?

I don't complain often but Rage's release on PC is a clusterfuck (got the Steam version). There's massive screen tearing (and I am usually not even that sensitive to it), and way too much pop-in. The only option to customize the graphics is antialiasing (2x, 4x) and resolution, there's not even a choice of what type of AA. This wouldn't be a big deal if the visuals weren't so buggy. I'll wait for the patch before playing more. The game looks fantastic though. I mean, incredibly fantastic. Best looking game I've played hands down. If they can just fix these issues, I can't wait to get back into it. The gameplay and the world feels really good so far. Love driving that little 4x4.
Can't believe they released the game in this state though. I hope the console versions are better.
I am a bit tired of publishers releasing games with the notion that they can just patch it later.
Again, aside from these issues my first impressions are very, very good.
