Rage - Config & settings for Windows 10
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*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set launch options:
Skips the intros
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game cache file
In some cases the game doesn't create the default 1 GB texture cache file. Check here:
If the folder doesn't exist, create it to and add to your Steam launch options. The next time the game starts this should trigger creation of the texture cache file that will make the texture streaming better.
