I pretty much agree with everything in this post. Often I'll go into an official thread, see people complaining about graphical issues, and think "Nah dudes, this game looks great, stop being so picky". Gears 3 has some pop-in during cutscenes - that i can deal with, who cares. This has constant pop-in, during gameplay, that is extremely distracting. Totally breaks immersion when I'm supposed to be staring at this beautiful world and it's just some grey globs that get detail over the course of a couple of seconds. And god forbid I look away from that vista and then back.. the textures are gone. The game is very smooth otherwise... but I can't help but be bothered by this major problem. It almost seems like a joke that the game is 60fps, you can run through areas before their textures load.

So any way to make the game not crash on start up? I get about a second of sound (no picture) then the game just stops. I installed those new ATI drivers but apparently they did nothing. System specs are:
ATI 6970
Intel 930 @ 3.6ghz
6 GB

So ya...installed it on the work PS3 and it was worse than the slim. And I did indeed get the disappearing textures on people. Only in the first town, and not in the battle scene after you leave town. But the moment I came back, John Goodman was missing his skin
As I am walking out of the office our lead tech comes in.
"Hey, that's not Rage is it?" He asks.
"ya I got it for the PS3 for work."
"I was just coming to play." He holds out his hand and has the 360 version. "Take this...its dangerous out there."
More of a nerd that I am
Fucking bastard hahahahah. I have to put in a return for work. Which is going to suck. The HR lady is a Bitch

Technical issues aside, this game is EXTREMELY fun.
Playing the PS3 version (after install and the launch day patch/extra content patched it)right now on an early Slim with a Momentus XT drive - only a couple instances of very minor texture pop in but the rest seems pretty damn good so far. Haven't seen one texture pop in since then.
Could've sworn I saw the dynamic framebuffer at work in one scene, but it very, very quickly recovered.
Really pretty game though. Framerate so far is really nice. Audio on PS3 so far is really good in surround.

it's a glitch that happens on a lot of installed games. there's a work around to stop it, but i forget what it is.~Kinggi~ said:
played this a bit more. yeah, textures continue to pop in as you turn. i'll get a frame drop if i turn my back to a settlement and then spin around to bring it into view... going to see if defragmenting my game cache will help with that... but performance in 'instances' is a perfect sixty.
and as expected, while the game design is a bit meh... the control and feel of the gameplay isn't. so far i like the enemies. they don't just run right at you. those with melee weapons leap and sidestep and shooting them out of the air is so good.
i love the way enemies will get knocked on their ass but continue to shoot at you. no surprises there though. ID's gunplay has never been an issue in any of their games. the sound of the weapons... the response and impact of bullets... they get it.
i'm playing on hard too. seems like a 'hard' kind of game.
No, not really. This game has been in development for 7 years. Are you telling me that only the very latest drivers are good enough? It should have been tested and working on ATI hardware during development, not relying on some driver that didn't yet exist.kamspy said:

i don't think that's fair. DX 11 games were in development long before DX11 was released. devs are obviously working with beta drivers, and beta versions of the APIs. if they have to wait until the API is locked down and released before making their game, then we'd always be years behind the APIs.dark10x said:
that'd suck.
it's a brand new engine, that runs on a brand new version of OGL, even if it's been in development forever. of course it's going to need the latest drivers... hasn't that been par from the course for every ID game?

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
It really is. Now that I have things running well, I'm actually playing the game, and loving it.
So I just finished the first hideout.
I can't decide if I like KB/M or controller more so far. They both handle well. Driving the ATV is much better on the controller, which I expected. I was thinking of using the controller just to drive but I might just go with it full time.
Weapons are bad ass. Desperately want to find more shotgun ammo because the double-barrel is sublime. The stupid monocular sight thing was a waste because I couldn't un-equip it, so I lost iron sights not just on the pistol, but on the double-barrel. That was pretty stupid, so I sold that shit right after I bought it. Besides that I pretty much am constantly looking for a reason to fire these things.
I love the AI and reactions from the enemies so far. One guy, I blew his knee out and he crawled behind some cover and tried to stay out of line of sight. The way they react to every shot is really satisfying.
It's funny that this time around the engine is not doing justice to the art. The first hideout alone is fucking gorgeous and every inch of it feels hand-crafted. If there's any justice id will be able to patch this game on PC because the assets their art team created for this game are amazing. Shame that we don't have less butchered textures; I hope id has learned from this because the console-parity ideal has proven to be a cancer on their development process.

Good to hear. Despite all this technical insanity I am really looking forward to playing this.
The gunplay looks fucking tasty.

Is the stuff in the Anarchy Edition download pack any good?

Found a video of it and I'm trying to reach that same area now. But from what I can tell my game so far isn't as bad as that video. I do see very few textures come in but it's like a jump from 3 to 4 instead of 1 to 4 (with 1 being super blurry to 4 being fully loaded ).
My slim's HDD is significantly faster than the stock drive though with a bigger cache. (from what I understand of Mega Texturing, this may have an impact on performance).

360 version is the way to go then? PS3 has too much texture pop-in and PC seems to be a mess?
When you get to Wellsprings you have to choose a set of armor (for the rest of the story, or so it sounds like), one makes you take lees damage, one gives up a discount at shop and one does something with item crafting. The preorder armor gives you all three advantages. The Rat rod is ok, seems to accelerate a lot faster than other vehicles.Wallach said:
So after totally uninstalling the radeon drivers, running driver sweeper, and installing the newest drivers again, the game is now running beautifully. I've been lazy lately and just been overwriting ati drivers as they come out rather than fully uninstalling first. Guess I learned my lesson. Uninstall always. Massive improvement.

Spider bot is boss! I deployed that bad boy at
and he just chewed those mutants up whether it was from stand off distance with guns or
Mutant Bash TV
his powerful melee attack
So lets try and turn this thread around into the positive and point out for those without issues (360 here) game is amazing. Holy heck 60 fps with these visuals is totally worth some weird texture pop. Which is almost non-existant btw. In fact the worst it has been was the very first area when you get outside and have that view.

Played about 3 hours so far (360), this game is on some baller shit. SO much fun to play, looks amazing, the MP is actually pretty cool. Couldn't be more pleased with the game so far.

It is sounding like this is one of the worst PC ports in years as far as I can tell, although I haven't donated money/played this thing yet. Saint's Row 2 is still probably worse though.
Why is it that every console player harps on people that play PC games? It brings nothing to the conversation about the actual game. If this is what it takes to be a part of the "console race" then thank god I gave up on console gaming years ago.

Becuase PC's get fucked royally for console *peasants*. That is why, i'm of the belief that development of a game that is coming out for all 3 platforms needs to start on the PC and then down ported to consoles to avoid this problem.

Ok, I'm about to hit the purchase button 'cause clusterfucked or not, this game look really fun and I really dig the settings.
Questions though:
I've got a GTX580 and the latest 285.38 "Battlefield" beta drivers. Am I good?
I see people from the red side claiming that after this latest driver update, they're running @ 60FPS now. Is this the case with NVIDIA too?
Is the texture loading problem bad on NVIDIA's hardware to hinder gameplay?
When the textures are correctly loaded... are they good enough? Saw some pictures which (supposedly) had their textures loaded in the right manner and they were kinda low res anyway.
