Rage textures fixed (kind of) ATI card

Specs of the laptop:

Intel Core i7-720QM processor (1.6GHz/2.8GHz Turbo Mode, 6MB L3 cache)
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 graphics card
8GB DDR3-1066 RAM

As I've wrote, the game was completely unplayable.

What I did was, I downloaded the Catalyst drivers: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU121AMDCatRagePerfDriver.aspx

Changed the cfg file:

if it makes you feel any better, i have the ps3 version and there is way more texture loading going on in view. I've come to accept it and don't notice it as much anymore.

@BobbyBadfingers Sad to hear that, I thought the console versions were better off. The game is playable to me, all thanks to the community, but it still tends to crash while loading areas, especially while loading Wellspring. Which sucks since you have to get back there often.

Once again Bethesda i salute you! for a game that is not playable at launch !!!!!!

Thanks for the fixes made it at least playable, i think i have same laptop as you ASUS G-73 series?

@FAZER00432 Yep. Was the game unplayable at first too? I had fps drops to 10-12 and the textures took like 5 seconds to load up.

ID soft = BIG BULLSHIT... Doom and Doom2 and Quake 2, 3 were good others suck balls... crappiest engine ever...

either way game still sucks, lol.

RAGE 2 will be awesome.

@Kazikox Console versions are better about bugs. Every PS3 have the same components inside, the problem is then easier to find than on millions of PCs with different GPUs, CPUs, etc...

But consoles are condamned to have the same configuration inside everytime, that's a compromise.

hi all, the AMD drivers # 11.10 solve these issues, however I got crashing in the other games after this update, but for rage no texture issue anymore , good luck

Lol @ "er... character model looks good." I agree XD

[MTZTayko]

@hannody00 Rage is their "test" game for idTech5, they've learned the horrible crap it can do, so they will fix it and get it right for their next games. Fortunately, it means Rage2 will not have any of this sadness we had on the PC :) Of course, they've gotta kinda get rid of all texture popping, 60fps isn't as important as overall experience
