Fix for the texture problems.

1.Create a Rage shortcut with the following launch parameters: +cvaradd g_fov 12 +com_allowconsole 1 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +image_anisotropy 16 +image_usecompression 0 +g_showplayershadow 1 +m_smooth 0

2.Create a file called rageconfig.cfg in Rage/base/ and put the following commands in there: vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192 vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192 vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192 vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192

3. Go to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\ and create a folder called "id software" (without "). Then create a folder called "rage" (without ") inside that folder.

4. Run game and play.

[Major Performance Fix]Custom Config Files With V-SYNC!!! Here's a config file I made for performance fixes To use the file copy the code below and put it into a new text file named "rageConfig.cfg" in this Location "Steam\steamapps\common\rage\base" This Fix may also reduce the texture streaming issue by using Cache options! Note: you will not get vac banned for making a config file.

WARNING: With the use of this config file, Make sure you set your video card settings back to "let the application decide" or your game may not run properly, This also includes Tessellation. Also Disable Crossfire(AMD/ATI) And or SLI(Nvidia) as this game doesn't use those, thus resulting in lower performance if used.

And Remember to keep this thread Polite!

Video of the config file in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa3iYEtzbFE&hd=1 NOTE: FRAPS CAUSES THE GAME TO RUN SLOWER WHILE RECORDING!... While not recording I get a solid 60fps.

I'm running a Sapphire Radeon HD 6870(Black Edition) with the 11.9 drivers and the proper Hot-fix drivers, using the High-end config and AA at 8x in the game.
