===Restore cache files===

{{--}} The texture cache folder is not made by the game, so you need to create it manually.
 +
{{ii}} This can fix stuttering in the game.
 +
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Make texture cache folder.|fix=
 +
# Go to <code>{{p|localappdata}}</code> and make a folder named <code>id Software</code> (If it's not already there.)
 +
# Go into that folder and make a folder named <code>Rage</code>
 +
# The game will now correctly store the texture cache between sessions.
 +
 +
'''Notes'''
 +
{{ii}} The game creates two files there, one of which is 1 GB in size. This file is not deleted after ending or uninstalling the game and has to be deleted manually.
 +
{{ii}} Normal Windows shortcuts do not work to relocate the <code>id Software</code> folder or the <code>Rage</code> folder to another drive. You can run the game with the startup command <code>+fs_cachepath "x:\cache"</code> to manually specify the location of the cache (it can't be executed from console). Create the folder before changing the path.
 +
{{ii}} Slow HDD can prevent from achieving high FPS. Consider placing the cache on RAM disk (e.g. with free [http://www.radeonramdisk.com/software_downloads.php RadeonRAMDisk]) or SSD (even whole game).

Version differences

RAGE: Campaign Edition is OS X release of the game, it includes the Anarchy Edition and Wasteland Sewer Missions DLC. Multiplayer is not included.

Essential improvements

Restore cache files

The texture cache folder is not made by the game, so you need to create it manually.
This can fix stuttering in the game.
Make texture cache folder.
  1. Go to %LOCALAPPDATA% and make a folder named id Software (If it's not already there.)
  2. Go into that folder and make a folder named Rage
  3. The game will now correctly store the texture cache between sessions.

Notes

The game creates two files there, one of which is 1 GB in size. This file is not deleted after ending or uninstalling the game and has to be deleted manually.
Normal Windows shortcuts do not work to relocate the id Software folder or the Rage folder to another drive. You can run the game with the startup command +fs_cachepath "x:\cache" to manually specify the location of the cache (it can't be executed from console). Create the folder before changing the path.
Slow HDD can prevent from achieving high FPS. Consider placing the cache on RAM disk (e.g. with free RadeonRAMDisk) or SSD (even whole game).

Skip intro videos

Use +com_skipIntroVideo 1 command line argument[citation needed]

Enable developer console

Enable console in shortcut[citation needed]
  1. Set +set com_allowConsole 1 command line argument
  2. Now you can access the developer console in-game with ~.

Notes

The console has less options than it did at release.[citation needed]
The console won't work if you do not have ~ on your keyboard. Switching to another keyboard layout in the Windows language settings solves this.

Unlock Anarchy Edition DLC

Available as a pre-order bonus or as part of the Campaign Edition, it can also be unlocked manually
Create files[1]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\dlc\
  2. Create dlc1 folder
  3. Copy info.txt from dlc2 folder to dlc1
  4. Open info.txt in dlc1 folder
  5. Change "dlcID" "2" to "dlcID" "1"
  6. Save the file
If this doesn't work for you, then try the method below
Use in-game console commands[1]
  1. Enable the developer console.
  2. To unlock all the content, enter the following into the in-game console:
    • give inventory/spdatacollection/dlc_day1
    • The command also unlocks the Wasteland Sewer Missions DLC
  3. (Alternate) To unlock specific content, enter in any of the following into the in-game console:
    • give inventory/keys/ratrod (Rat Rod Buggy)
    • give weaponupgrades/brassknuckles (Fists of RAGE)
    • give weapon/doublebarrelshotgun (Double Barrel Shotgun)
    • give playerarmor/adventurer (Crimson Elite Armor)

Notes

If done correctly, achievements will not be disabled
The weapons can only be acquired after starting the Quell the Bandit Threat quest
The Crimson Elite Armor can only be acquired after completing the Changing Clothes quest. Use the console command afterwards to replace the currently equipped armor

CUDA Transcode Improved Performance

Rage uses very highly compressed texture data as part of its MegaTexture technology engine.[2] Users with a fast Nvidia video card can benefit from CUDA transcoding which will offload the decompressing task to the video card rather than the CPU. Users with 4 or more processor cores instead can benefit from extra CPU transcoding by disabling this feature and thus giving all available video card time to rendering the game.

Switch 32 and 64 bit savegames

Play 64bit saves into 32 bit version and viceversa[3]
  1. Make sure you have an auto-save made with the version of your source savegame
  2. Go to the folder where that version creates the savegames (see above)
  3. Copy GAMES-AUTOSAVE from there, to the other version's save files folder
  4. Start this last version and load the autosave (for safety, avoid using the continue campaign button.)

Issues unresolved

Regular crashes with ATI/AMD desktop and mobile graphics

Running RAGE on some systems will cause regular crashes, and this issue remains unfixed.[10]
Using third-party drivers does not fix the issue.[11]
Only seems to happen on the 32-bit version.
Issue only happens when using drivers older than 22.7.1. Since then, AMD rebuilt their OpenGL driver from the ground up, fixing this error.
Force RAGE to use older version of AMD OpenGL driver (atioglxx.dll)[citation needed]
Fortunately, the game does not require installation of older drivers in the system. Placing correct version of atioglxx.dll in game directory will do the job - the game will use it instead of using the one installed in the system. This solution is 'trial and error method' friendly.
This solution was confirmed while testing on Windows 7 x64 with the use of following GPUs: Radeon HD6650M, Radeon HD7850, Radeon HD7870, Radeon R9 290x. May be compatible with other GPUs and OS versions as well. Further testing required.
  1. Download atioglxx.dll file version '6.14.10.12002' directly from pcgamingwiki or extract it manually from official driver package that can be downloaded from AMD drivers page.
  2. Copy atioglxx.dll to the installation folder.
  3. Start the game.

Notes

atioglxx.dll version recommended in this solution is '6.14.10.12002' and is a part of AMD Catalyst 13.1 WHQL package. Although, it is not inconceivable that you will need to find a different version for your system or GPU. Both, 32 and 64-bit Catalyst 13.1 package versions contain the same atioglxx.dll file. Byte-to-byte comparison showed no differences between the files.
This only works if you installed the game to the C drive.
This fix can also make the game silent until load via changing map or loading a save.

Issues fixed

Audio desynchronization issue

If Texture detail setting is:
  1. ON: Overall texture quality is getting a slighly better, but an audio issue causes audio to cut out, or not play at all. Dialogue will be cut short, footsteps will not be in sync or even cut out completely, and vehicle sounds fails to play correctly.
  2. OFF: Overall texture quality is getting a slighly lower, but it solves all the problems described above.
Set Texture detail to OFF
  1. Open in-game video settings.
  2. Turn Texture detail to OFF.

Low frame rate in 32-bit version, even at main menu.

Disable GVR in AMD Gaming Evolved[citation needed]
  1. Close the application or disable GVR in-game by clicking Page Up+F11

64-bit version takes too long to load.

Use +logfile 0 command line argument[citation needed]
This disables developer logging

Corrupted, black, jagged or dotted textures

Ensure that graphics card does not override anti-aliasing preferences.
Check the graphics driver's control panel or any utility which could control the graphics card may override the game's anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering setting
These include but are not limited to program such as:
  • Catalyst Control Center, RadeonPro and ATI Tray tools for ATI/AMD GPUs
  • Nvidia Control panel, Nvidia Profile Inspector for Nvidia GPU
  • RivaTuner, etc.
Enable in-game anti-aliasing.[12]
May not be ideal for lower-end systems as it can have major impact on performance, even at 2x.

Stutter, textures pop-in, freezes

Create textures cache folder[13]
  • Just create the textures cache folder. The game then will be able to use it to improve disk streaming performance
Increase texture buffer[14]
  1. Set +fc maxcachememoryMB 1024 +vt_maxPPF "16" +vt_pageimagesizevmtr 16384 +vt_pageImageSizeUnique 16384 +vt_pageImageSizeUniqueDiffuseOnly 16384 +vt_pageImageSizeUniqueDiffuseOnly2 16384 command line argument.

Notes

This works only if you have 3 GB VRAM and should fix pop in even when you do a 180° turn.
Minifreezes[citation needed]
  • If the game freezes for about 1 two 2 seconds in regular intervals, add +jobs_numThreads 0 to the launch options.

Slow, choppy or unresponsive mouse movement in menus

Reduce menu mouse sensitivity.
  • Add +cvaradd m_menu_sensitivity 0.20 as command line argument. Increase or decrease the value if necessary.

No mouse support at all

Launch the 64-bit with mods version instead of 32-bit[15]

Notes

  1. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/9200/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (9200) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
