If you are like me, and want to play Rage before Rage 2, here are some tips and fixes:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to where you installed the game:
"steamapps\common\RAGE\base"
Find "rageconfig.cfg" replace everything with this: *WARNING CHANGE videoRam to what you have! WARNING* *First line*
Code: Select all
seta com_videoRam 8192 //Set to the amount of video card memory you have in MB (1gb = 1024MB)
seta com_maxfps 60 //limits the frames to 60 DO NOT USE HIGHER THEN 60! Glitches will happend and some missons wont be completed
seta image_anisotropy 4 //Don’t use higher than 4, otherwise you’ll get artifacts
seta image_usecompression 0 //uncompress the bad 4k-ish textures to 8k+
seta image_filter GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR //filtering for light maps
seta image_preload 1 //Use preload images when ever possible
seta image_lodbias -1 //LoD settings
seta image_ignoreHighQuality 0 //Set to "0" for HQ gfx
seta image_ignoreLowQuality 1 //ignores the low textures
seta image_useCache 1 //Enabled Cache to allow the textures to load properly without popping
seta image_cacheMegs 2048 //Cache size in Megabytes
seta image_cacheMinK 50 //Cache minimum size in kilobytes
seta r_swapInterval 1 //VSYNC 1 enabled, 0 diabled
seta r_useHighQualityPostProcess 1 //Force High Quality post proccessing
seta r_shadowsHighQuality 1 //Force High Quality shadows
seta r_displayRefresh 0 //keep it so the engine doesn’t double render a frame
seta r_renderer best //highest rendering options
seta r_multiSamples 32 //Set this to 8 if you’re having low-fps (8, 16 or 32 max)
seta r_useHBAO 1 //Ambient occlusion
seta r_useRenderThread 1 // 1 Enable threaded rendering useful to increase performance.
seta r_visDistMult 1
seta r_useMotionBlur 1 //use blur
seta r_skipBump 0
seta r_skipSpecular 0
seta r_skipNewAmbient 0
seta r_shadows 1
seta r_cgFragmentProfile best
seta r_cgVertexProfile best
seta vt_lodBias -1 //LoD settings
seta g_fov 90
//below is cache settings
seta vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 "16384"
seta vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly "16384"
seta vt_pageimagesizeunique "16384"
seta vt_pageimagesizevmtr "16384"
seta vt_maxppf "24"
seta vt_maxlockedpages "256"
seta vt_minlod "-2"
seta vt_lodBias "-2"
seta vt_maxaniso "2"
seta vt_qualityhdplossless "1"
seta vt_qualityhdppower "0"
seta vt_qualityhdpspecular "0"
seta vt_qualityhdpnormal "0"
seta vt_qualityhdpdiffuse "0"
seta vt_qualitydctpower "100"
seta vt_qualitydctspecular "100"
seta vt_qualitydctnormal "100"
seta vt_qualitydctchroma "100"
seta vt_qualitydctluma "100"
seta vt_restart
Set launch options:
Skips the intros
Code: Select all
+com_skipIntroVideo 1
Game cache file
In some cases the game doesn't create the default 1 GB texture cache file. Check here:
Code: Select all
%USERPROFILE%/appdata/local/id software/rage
Code: Select all
+fc maxcachememoryMB 1024
