More id RAGE Midnight Madness

The Bethesda Blog has word that in addition to John Carmack's previously announced midnight visit to the Mesquite GameStop for the RAGE launch, the id Technical Director will be joined by other id employees:
After long years of work, tonight the team at id Software will finally see its mutant baby RAGE running free through stores across the world. To celebrate, the team is heading down to their local GameStop midnight opening to hang with fans and sign some games.

If you’re in the Dallas area, drive on over to the Mesquite GameStop at 503 N. Galloway Avenue to join John Carmack (CTO), Tim Willits (Creative Director), Matt Hooper (Design Director) and other key members of the RAGE team. The crew will be arriving at 11pm Central — don’t be late!

Jesus that looks horrendous. Worst case scenario?

That would be an absolute game breaker for me.. far too distracting.

Hope they fix it up since I'm looking very forward to playing this once I upgrade


That's pretty much unacceptable, in my opinion. I'm sure it's going to be fixed, but I'm glad I didn't buy in yet.

As for Texture poping, Ive had none of that, so the AMD\ATI might be the issue.

Nah that's everyone, I'm seeing tons of complaints from people with 570s and 580s as well on other forums. Turn quickly and look in the corners of the screen. The game isn't caching them properly or something. It's related to how id is using texture streams or something along those lines, most likely just a setting that needs to be changed for the PC version. The mouse thing is acceleration apparently and its turned on for everyone. There's some videos showing both on Youtube now. AMD users are having a whole set of other issues too apparently, flickering hud elements, poor framerates and etc.

Doesn't sound like a big deal but they should definitely fix it up.

edit: just for kicks I loaded it up briefly on my 560 Ti (wow that was a long decryption) and I noticed the texture thing immediately once you leave the ark, it's very apparent in the outdoor areas.

Yeah, it's very apparent, and I agree with your assessment: it probably is a caching/streaming problem. I have an i7 / SLI rig, so I know it's not for lack of power or memory. Nonetheless, that was the one blemish I saw straight off. Hopefully they fix it quickly.

The dynamic scaling does work pretty well to keep the framerate at 60, no hiccups/stutters/glitching at all.

Default mouse acceleration: definitely felt wrong for an id game; it really made aiming feel clumsy and imprecise, something id normally is spot on with.

The game itself is pretty awesome, although I will admit, I HATE all the "invisible walls" that prevent me from going places/falling. To me, that was a bigger distration than any of the normal technical issues we're seeing out of the gate.

Technical merit: Definite 10. The glitches will parse out soon enough.

Game itself? After 1-1/2 hubs, I'd definitely say it's the deepest id game yet, but it does lose points for not having DM because, well, it is an id game. But the single player experience is stunning, jaw dropping graphics, and has a good pace with reasonable branching for sidequests. It's almost like someone shook an id engine in with Borderlands and a little Fallout3.


I haven’t noticed any of this happening on my system, but I’m sure ID will get this worked out soon enough. As with any new game patches are inevitable. ID is usually pretty good about getting this sort of issues resolved.

Hey Darks how did you get 16x FSAA and what do you mean by everything turned up all the way? Have you looked at the textures up close? There are hundreds of users complaining of the terrible low-res textures on high-end rigs. My textures SUCK!!

But I agree the game is awesome.

Anyone figure out how to get better textures???


In the option under graphics, the FSAA, if you click it you can choose 16X. I got it on mine at least.

BTW, there are mouse options to slow or speed it up. But, in the invintory screen, yes the mouse is way to fast. that needs to be looked at.

As for Texture poping, Ive had none of that, so the AMD\ATI might be the issue. But Ive had no issues at all so far. loving the game. but I would also recomend to that if your a hard core gamer, then normal difficulty will not be hard enough. Ive only had about 2 fights where I was getting beat up good and that was becasue I took chances.

If you are deep in Dark Souls I say wait, but FoV and the flat texture/pop in aside I absolutely love the damn game. But I've been waiting for this from Id for years.

Now, a question for you If I may? I passed on Dark Souls because It sounds so freakishly hard It's been deemed unfair from some reviews.
Have you gotten past the first boss and how are you liking it? Have you thrown a controller or put a hole in a wall yet?

I bought the first one and let it sit unopened for a year because I'm a big wuss and was too scared to play it, I finished it last week and adored it.

Dark Souls looks so completely epic, It just sounds like From Soft went a bit overboard this time around.

Please tell me I'm wrong.

I don't want to derail the thread too much but I'll just briefly say that the game is amazing. It doesn't have a traditional progression like Demons Souls did, I've finished the equivalent of one portion of the "world" so far. It's very tough but mostly fair, I haven't had any deaths that weren't my fault so far. I think you'll like it if you liked Demons Souls

Thanks for the info on Rage fellas, sounds like its worth waiting a few weeks and seeing if there is a patch.

One thing I forgot to mention, most of the people here on Blues would probably want to play this bumped up a notch on difficulty. I'm on normal, and it's just very easy. I've only take enough damage to turn the screen red once, and that was when I got hit with a grenade.

From the sound of it nothing is worth you taking a break from Dark Souls.

I may finally pick up a PS3 this weekend. I'll be sure to grab Demon Souls if I do.

I enjoyed the hell out of it. DS is on my list, but will most likely be a week or two now depending on how fast I get through Rage (supposedly not too terribly long of a game, but we'll see).

As for some of the complaints, yeah, the FOV does suck. I'm going to try the cvar thing later. I had a massive headache when I finished playing. The mouse acceleration was noticeable at first, but I got used to it. One thing that was bugging me was that the menus (your inventory stuff) seemed to go faster than the game. It was a bit annoying to bring up the weapon selection shit and have the mouse moving twice as fast.

But damn it looks good to me aside from the pop-in on the edges of the screen. And the wingstick is damn fun.

Well, the aforementioned weird aspect ratios are one small reason, but a lot of console games are DESIGNED to have a narrow FOV. It makes everything look bigger on the screen, like putting a magnifying glass over it. You get to show off more detail to the player that is probably sitting on a couch 10-15 feet away, whether in the environment or on weapons in a shooter, and it lets him see things that are far away (in-game) more easily. Plus, another bonus for developers, you show less stuff on the screen at one time, which helps with performance.

Put this in your Steam launch options "+cvaradd g_fov 20" without quotations of course.

Upping the fov makes it easier to spot the texture pop in, they optimized this game heavily for very specific video configs.

stuck fov on 60 is not only lazy, but stupid. Fov is not optional, its a basic principle of human vision! And the closer you are to the screen, the higher fov you need not to get motion sick.

Hush. Any time I mention that I get tomatoes thrown at me.
To many here it's well established that consoles have a lower FOV not because of the human brain and because the TV is so far away but because consoles are inferior devices made by trolls to steal the brains of sheep.
