The draw distance in this game is nuts. And the level of detail and complexity on display is sobering. Yeah, close up things aren't too nice, but on the whole it really comes together.
So far this feels like a mix of Bioshock (environmental detail and ambiance), Fallout (setting + the shooting you wanted in that game) and a lil Borderlands (setting, NPC quest givers, collecting a bunch of junk). So far it works.

My tweak is universal, for both nvidia, amd. However if someone doesn't experience pop in, great, there's no reason to experiment with this.

And according to Carmack they are already 30% better looking than what they had managed to make them look, before they contacted Microsoft to get a license for their "HD Photo" image compression codec.

And its no longer shit for me with that ATI performance driver. Runs smooth and silky now. That and v-synch, triple buffering and a few other tweaks.Pimpbaa said:

Create a file named "rageconfig.cfg"
type inside:

save it and start rage
Carmack & Willits said they would do it before release; the console version uses 4k x 4k (loaded) textures, but the PC version should/would use 8k x 8k, and after release they would tweak it to use 16k x 16k - but no, the PC version shipped using 4k x 4k textures like on consoles thus it has the exact same (bad) pop in as on consoles.
But why wait for Carmack? Tweak it yourself now!
Note: you will likely need a lot of RAM (maybe VRAM as well), for example more than 4GBs.
If you have just 4GBs of RAM, or if you notice that some parts aren't loading instead of 16384 use the value 8192. In fact if you have second thoughts, you might want to first test it with the value 8192, because it will definitely make a noticeable difference, and it should work on all modern gaming computers. And then see if you can handle 16384 as well.
Good luck, and anyone that tries it please report back your experience

Right click the game in your library and hit view downloadable content. That's where both of mine are but then again I had to input both codes after I put my activation key in. They came on a sheet, one on each side.
jet1911 said:So. Dead Island or Rage for worst launch of the year?
Well Techland has the "excuse" of uploading a dev build to explain most of their performance crap and that was fixed after half a day.
But if we're going from personal experience then yeah definitely Dead Island because the game was unplayable for me for that time whereas I've dodged the bullet on Rage, and I'm enjoying Rage about 100 times more than DI so far.
Smokey said:The 16k x 16k config that Angular posted was for AMD cards only? Lol. I'm on green team and used them, but I didn't know. Dunno if it's placebo or what but I took some picks and the rocks look a lot clearer and sharper than before I used what Angular put up:
What's your setup and fps? That just needs some AA and it will look like a 2011 game. Any shots with buildings or whatever instead of stretched textures on rocks?
ATI video cards are like Candy Corn for me.Pimpbaa said:

still unplayable for me
been trying for 6 hours to get this shit to work
steam shows i have 104 minutes of playtime and i only stepped outside
maybe that's why some say it has 20 hours of playtime

Rewmac said:Thanks a lot. I have CC for initial setup (at least as far as I figured out) won't it be a problem that two of these programs are running? Oh and does RadeonPro have to run when I start the game from destkop? And no I'm getting good old retail version
It shouldn't be a problem to have both programs running. I prefer to have just RadeonPro running. Windows starts up much faster for me without CCC. To disable CCC from starting up with Windows type msconfig in the search field of the Start Menu. Go to the 'Startup' tab and uncheck 'Catalyst Control Center'. RadeonPro should be running when you start the game from the desktop. There is also an option in the settings to start RP with Windows as well.

Core i7 2600k, 16GB RAM, SLI 3GB 580s (SLI is disabled so I'm only using one).
1080p, solid 60fps at all times. I was using AA and SGSSAA through Inspector but I guess it didn't work. I'll try and use the default game values for AA through Rage itself and see the difference with some AA on it.

Yes, but if you don't know how to make it have the correct extension, I have uploaded it for you (using 8k values):

Just put it to your base folder.

Told you they butchered the art assets. Sucks, i know how much you were looking forward to this.

Well, rather than return the PS3 version I decided to sell the Anarchy edition. Made an extra $10 from the sale. I should have known better than to buy a game for a system that was on the receiving end of 5 years of trash talking by the engine guy. I'll probably pick up the PC or 360 version when it goes on sale.

Dead Island but that game was also one of the funnest games I played all year as well.
That's good to hear, otherwise you've got some major overkill for 99% of games out there. I'm pretty sure you could do a two monitor spread with one 580 of any multi-monitor capable game easily enough.Smokey said:Who said that wasn't part of the plan
Other than some subpar texture work in that shot, that looks fucking great.
Smokey said:Who said that wasn't part of the plan
Here's the shot with 16x AA. 16x AF forced through drivers.
Ok, don't get me wrong, that does look awesome, mainly due to the art direction and setting. But technically speaking, I'm just not blown away here. A lack of detail, a very detached skybox compared to the actual assets, lighting that seems unrealistic or more cartoon like, lack of realism and specularity(?) to the weapon models and so forth.
I mean, I really do LOVE the art direction. But from a graphical technical standpoint, besides the 60fps which is admittedly a huge thing, I'm just not seeing it.

I've only been vaguely aware of the PC issues up to this point, and finally had the time to fire up my Steam copy tonight. Well... fuck me.
Using a Radeon 5770, it crashed right away at first, but after installing this "fix" right here, the game now launches and treats me to horrendous tearing, scattered N64 era textures, and missing sound effects from the Anarchy Edition weapons? What?
Really don't have the time to research this thread and / or troubleshoot this POS to death. Maybe I'll just uninstall the damn thing, pray for magic, and give it another try in a month.

Yeah from a technical standpoint it's ugly. No shadows or major lighting on the guns, no dynamic lights everything's baked, doesn't look like there's soft shadows or any ssao, texture work is rather inconsistent at the best of times, and that shot is not the best one since there's just like, nothing in it. Some dirt and rocks and sparse grass.nib95 said:
But the clarity of that is a huge improvement over the other shots ive seen.
edit: Sorry if I sound like an asshole, but I'm of the opinion if you can't or don't want to spend an hour fiddling with something every now and then to get a game or program working properly that doesn't want to play nice, or for a game wait for a patch that fixes it, you probably shouldn't be playing PC games. It comes with the territory, so you can just deal with it and go along with it, or you can do something else. Anyways, that's how I feel about that.

I posted this on CAG, but i thought I would include it here aswell. I am giving a copy of this game away (ps3 version). All you gotta do to enter is subscribe to my youtube channel.
http://www.youtube.com/nukedpixels
Gonna give it away next weekish (after I beat it of course)

SLI does not work for this game anyway, so no need to disable the SLI in you configuration. RIght now I am running at about 60% usage on my one GPU it is using, 60fps, 16xaa (in game settings), AFx16, VSync, Tripple Buffering via Control Panel and running buttery smooth. Still need to apply Angular little trick to see what that does.
Since we are running almost identical rigs Smokey, what size did you put using angular's cfg file?

It's happening to me as well, didn't start doing it until i got to Wellspring, some glitch around outside conversation as well like they're rapidly switching animation position. Can't find anything to fix it and it only happens in Wellspring. Probably have to be patched.
