Graphics Card Drivers To Blame For Rage's PC "Issues"

Yer, but I personally wouldn't expect a gamer to have to go and edit an INI file - producing an interface to edit the contents of an INI file isn't exactly hard, as evidenced by the number of games with an "Advanced Graphics Options" button. It's not really going to eat at yer deadline to code one, seeing as design work would be minimal (most games lay the options out in the same way) and if you're like.... testing properly surely you're gonna be testing that sane setting combos work anyways?Fiend Dragon said:
But Bethesda - how it's possible for so many games, some of them of your own production to run smoothly on exactly the same drivers ?vansau said:
Maybe you should dismiss some lawyers and hire more capable coders ? Just a thought.
There's a shitload of texture pop-in on PS3 as well, so my guess is id screwed up big fucking time. It's not as bad as in the video, but it's still annoying as hell. And that's with the (sixty fucking MB) day-one patch installed.
Seriously id, clean your shit up before releasing your games. We expected better from you.

Wow, I was just about to pic this up since the reviewers were fairly positive for the console version, guess I'm steering clear of this. I'll be sure to use my crappy port of Brink to ward Rage away.
Seriously what is with the bad PC ports this year, Brink, Dead Island, and now Rage?

Just me, or does it look very much like Borderlands? Hmmm, now I want to play Borderlands again.
That's pretty shoddy graphics issues, though I've seen worse. Maybe a patch will sort it out. Still, to come from a company with the PC pedigree of id is almost incredible.

Pro tip : If you are a games development company, and are selling a game, you should NEVER require drivers that are in Beta.
I'm guessing that at some point, someone must have tested the game. And thus at someone must have instructed this person that they needed drivers that weren't production ready. This should raise big red flags. This should have meant a delay; not "ship it and provide instructions on the internet".
Blame drivers if you like, it's incompetence at Bethesda that allowed this to be a problem.

Here is a toast to a dying beast ...
QA, quality assurance, hope you survive.
At least in small number of habitats (i.e. development companies). Your demise was greatly accelerated by gamers being too easy to fall for hype and not being educated enough as a consumer.
Salut!
BTW, since this is a XBOX port to PC ... No DX11 in it either?

In fact, it's really pushing Open GL 4.2, one of the reasons why there's bound to be bugs (not to mention ATi's 'legendary' history of supporting OpenGL). But it still doesn't excuse releasing a game running on mythical drivers.
Hasn't id confirmed multiple times that their lead platform was 360? I'm pretty sure they said that when we found out about multiple discs and installing them all or something. And if 360 was their lead platform, then of course the PC version is a console port.Fiend Dragon said:
On XBOX? That can't be possible ...Raiyan 1.0 said:idTech5 uses OpenGL 4.x, not DirectX.
Are you saying they released it as GL for PC and DX for XBOX?
Or does XBOX support OpenGL now days?
I was under impression Microsoft never implemented GL support in their console.
Yes, that is the point here.9thRequiem said:
Also, this is making me furious. How the hell can they even do this? Isn't there even some laws to counter this sh*t. It's like going out to buy a lawn mower:
Sales guy: "This lawn mower is our top model sold to this date"
You: "I'll take it"
*goes home*
*realizes there is no blades in the mower*
*calls to the sales guy*
You: "Why is there no blades in my lawn mover that I just bought"
Sales guy: "Well the blades will be delivered later."
You: "WTF!?"
Sales guy: "Well it's not our fault that the lawn mover maker had no complete version made."
You: "WTF!?"
HOW THE HELL IS THIS POSSIBLE/TOLERATED!?
