Ati may be shit when it comes to drivers but Rage is the only openGL game/app that has these severe problems with my hardware. Not saying it's 100% id, but it's certainly not 100% Ati.

not sure what ati/drivers you are running but I have 6870 and 12.6 beta drivers and no problems at all.
although I blame id and ATI. id for obviously not testing RAGE at all on ATI and ATI for releasing the wrong "hotfix" driver at launch day.

I've tried every driver from 10.4 to 12.3 for both XP and 7 (both 32-bit). XP with any driver is completely unplayable with constant crashing. Win7 was more stable but performance is too poor. And I'm not finicky when it comes to framerate, I played the hell out of Crysis with an average of 15fps and it was still very much playable to me, but with Rage, low FPS slows the game clock as well, making everything slow motion, which is weird since id's engines aren't supposed to sync the game clock with the renderer. This is the main thing that's keeping me from finishing it.

Is it just slow? How much ram do you have, and since you have a 32-bit processor you might consider upgrading your motherboard. You performance issues might just be the bus speed on your board, also could be your hd has slow reads. Doubt its the main cause but might be something worth looking into. Also it could be since your using ATI GPU Transcoding isn't aval so it could be whatever processor you have.

Lets not forget this software is completely playable on XBox360 and PS3 hardware.

The 360's video card doesn't have dedicated memory but rather uses on the onboard ram to store data; which means thats not a valid comparision cause the 360's version of Rage doesn't have to transfer shit to RAM and than transfer it again to video memory

. That makes it way faster and eaiser to dynamically update GPU data. On the 360 you more or less get a direct pointer to the texture data storage.

Very exciting...so long as I don't need a VR headset to use it. It's hard enough to figure out how to get the win32 doom3 tools into something else like wxwidgets, qt.

Dear diary,

It is now the 25th of June and there are still no tools... I don't think I can go on much longer...

Why on earth is it taking so long!? Weren't we supposed to have these on release!!??

Sebultura · **Posted:** Mon Jun 25, 2012 12:41 pm

I think that they're awaiting the same year to come from Rage, when the asteroid will kick our asses... or not ?! :mrgreen:

I can say only one thing - You have just been Rick'rolled or to say it better Carmack'rolled.

I'm sure if id soft really care about their fans and customers they will not work on some kind of browser port of Wolfenstein or re-release D3, but go to work and do what they have to do - I mean game (Rage in that case) after release support - fix bugs, make it work on other graphic cards, release DLC and modding tools.

Just have the stones and say "There are no longer any plans to release the tools at this time."

At this point, they're awaiting QuakeCon. Rage DLC presented here ? Doom 4 teaser ? Quake live tournaments ?
I wouldn't even bet on new tech...

At least for once there are no over boarding expectations resting id's shoulders.

Sebultura · **Posted:** Thu Jul 19, 2012 12:27 pm

True.
Anyway, I forgot about what's coming: Doom 3 BFG Edition.

Nicemice · **Posted:** Thu Sep 20, 2012 8:06 pm

I guess they will relaunch Rage with a DLC and release the sdk along with it.

Seems there is something going to be available via steam one day. Maybe.

@investor_dan BFG work pushed the Rage tools, but Real Soon Now. I hope. Sigh. I think we have made poor decisions on this all year.
