Well, it seems my luck has changed.
I ordered it again after my friend telling me the game is actually pretty good and the majority of problems have been fixed now.
My order arrived today...2 cases for some reason, oh dear did I accidently have 2 in the basket? Nope. Opened up what was supposed to be my anarchy edition to find out the box was broken/split and for some reason I had a copy of the making of rage disc in a box aswell. (collectors edition, wut?)
Also my invoice said £29.99 when it should've been £24.99 as i redeemed £5 from my game card.
So I call up customer service, finally get through and tell them, they confirm they only charged me £24.99 and i mentioned the damage box so they put £5 back onto my game card as a good will gesture. Nice!
Also I went by McDonalds and they put a free burger in our order. Yay!
With this luck today, i'll probably get AIDS tomorrow.
For those getting the massive stuttering/almost 0fps issue there's a fix already, firstly you need the update, then add [code]+jobs_numThreads 0[/code] to the launch by right clicking the game > properties > launch options.
The problem is caused by having an AMD card and any dual core processor, driver issue apparently.
Also, has ID actually said anything about releasing these high resolution textures or is it just speculation and assumptions? If they have said they'll release them at some point I'll wait for them before I play it.
It's shame that such a game, with pretty solid gameplay(in my opinion) have so many graphical bugs. I am not experiencing that many, just that some textures take longer time loading then some others so, some parts are high res and some aren't. Still runs great though.

The only way to fix texture pop-in thus far is to download the official update, use the latest rage optimized drivers and have:
[code]vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192
vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192
vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192
vt_restart
vt_maxaniso 4
image_anisotropy 4[/code]
in rageconfig.cfg file correctly placed in RAGE -> BASE. Technically setting the texture cache to "large" in the video options should do this itself but it's not trustworthy so the .cfg helps to an extent.
I've not had anyone experience bad textures or pop-ins after doing all three of those things unless you have a low vram GPU.

The graphics in general are just not very good. Gameplay is solid though.
Okay soo..textures don't look that great and vsync doesn't seem to stay switched on...probably not news to you guys but i just started up the game and I never having tearing issues in any game that i've played ever but I have it with RAGE
Don't seem to have any issues with textures loading but they don't look that sharp.
Any advice?
I have a Geforce 460 with 1gb memory
i7 930 cpu
Is it supposed to look like this?

Would save confusion if I could have all graphics options to set myself.

On my gtx 570, I didn't have any tearing or real texture popping issues until I updated to the beta drivers. Then I started getting tearing like mad.
And yes, the textures are all that low quality. Carmac says they will be releasing a 20gb texture pack sometime in the future. Sort of like that crysis hd patch.

Hmm alrite, no real problem just wanted to know if I was getting the best out of the game. Kinda hard to tell when you can't really alter any settings yourself. Also yes I'm on the beta drivers and getting quite a lot of tearing. Never had the issue with any other game before. Can't even turn on vsync to fix it though :|
Just turns itself off...handy feature.
Loooove this game so far. Been playing on Nightmare and to be honest it's not that hard. Got through the Dead City quite easily and I've just started working for [sp]The Resistance[/sp]
The game runs flawlessly (well.. save for minimal texture popping) and next week I'm going to be on my new PC which is going to be way more powerful than the shit heap I'm running just now. Can't wait! :D

Great, I'll wait it out for the HD textures then, I'm in no rush anyway, just hope they're released before skyrim so I can finish rage before I play the GOTY.
Is anyone else getting Framerate issues once they hit the subway town? It feels like it's all slow motion almost, with a bit of stuttering-lag with it. Kinda weird, even with the most intense parts, like blowing up the bombs or fuel cache's with the RC-cars or whatever it was, i never experienced any issues. Driving around outside the town it's fine, it's just once i enter the city it gets all funky.

they won't be, if they are at all
just play it now, the textures are perfectly fine if you're not paying a huge amount of attention to them
I actually don't mind the textures at all, I just don't want to finish it then next week have them release sexy textures..

It will take a lot longer than that. I'd be very happy if they released them this year.
I guess I can save the HD textures for a second playthrough then, cheers.
I'm kind of disappointed in how low res the so called "megatextures" are. :(

They are called megatextures because they aren't tiled textures, not because they are insanely high resolution and sharp textures.
From far away they look ok. But up close it looks like borderlands, not in a good way.

I know. The advantage is that the artists can use unique textures everywhere, but it's completely useless when between the good looking textures there are textures where I can count the pixels on one hand.
More like between the textures where I can count the pixels on one hand there are good textures (haven't seen them yet though).
Is there a map of the game world? Rage is a fairly common word and google is giving me nothing
I love this game so much I bought it for my brother today for his 360.

I found a "hovercraft"
A buggy with no rear wheels or tires. So it floats around like a podracer or something. I recorded it.

That's awesome, upload the footage.
Completed it two days ago, it was a very fun game, got loads of content for the £25.70 I spent for it, the only thing I didn't like was the ending
Goddamnit, just got to wellspring and had to choose my armour, since I got the anarchy edition I'm given a stupid 'overpowered' armour, I hate it when this shit happens, it's the fists all over again, I just chose the engineer version.. Pre-order bonuses should be aesthetic only for Christ sake.
Can someone tell me how to get the Drone card in Dead city? I read it has to be on your 2nd visit, so once do i just leave and then go back in? I tried that but it's not on the table it's meant to be at.
In love with the Authority MG, so much so that I bound it's slot to my middle mouse so I can switch to it in a time of need, otherwise I pretty much rely on Wingsticks and the combat shotgun.
Where do you get the double barrel and advanced wingsticks? I'm just curious, I haven't see either and I've just got to Subway City for the first time.
