Yeah. Been playing around with what people have found variable wise for the rageConfig file. For whatever reason I'm getting crashes 75% of the time now if I change anything, so fuck it, I'll wait for new drivers/an official patch.

even with everything maxed via the cfg-settings the game somehow decides to smear low-res mud over all near textures. mid-range is crisp and clear. Or is that just how it is supposed to look ? because then it is nowhere as good as reviews make you to believe.
i had to use a cfg as well because what the game "detected" for me reminded me of commander keen and not a new fps title. anyways, either I am missing something or the game just looks that washed out and blocky.
apart from that the shooting, especially the enemy behavior and impact-reactions are the best I have ever seen. things go boom, bodies twist and fly. it is glorious. townsfolk facial animations are
amazing. the right amount of overacting and subtle gestures. "main characters" are more caricatures, the overall design looks western/steam-punkish. looking to be a good "shoot/racer" if
they can sort that shit out. Nobody should have to create config-files for vsync and other
basic options. Hell, I want to be able to play the game with the highest or whatever settings and maybe NOT get 60fps just to look at the pretty pictures.
and mousesmoothing on by default.......aaaaarrrgghhh

@mothra:
Some folks are saying that anything over 8X AA will cause problem for most folks.
Have you tried disabling AA then scaling up (2x to 4x etc)?

A game released in a blatantly unfinished state? Do tell.
At least the part that actually works seems cool.
mothra on 6/10/2011 at 12:25
I do not use AA, never ever. more resolution is always better than more AA.
Apart from that I have the horrible "green shadows" bug. It depends on locations but in the ghost hideout and dead city everything was bathed in green. Normally I am not such a graphics whore but in that game since some of the mid-range textures are that crystal clear every other muddy low-rez texture stands out so much, I just want it to behave consistently so I can concentrate on the good action and not ajusting my eyes after every corner to a new grade of compression.
And yeah, I fiddled around for an hour with the settings, my FPS stay good no matter how high I set stuff, my GPU is only at 80%, my CPU at 70% (2threads), vram cache is set to 1gb......

hmm, the game never crashed on me once yet. my gpu has 1gb ram it can take it !!!

what ?
sorry but technical problems aside (and the horrible green shadows) I am loving this game.
I just replayed the authority prison thingy 2 times because it is that cool.
I cannot stress enough how incredibly awesome that AI is.
They do most of the time the exact right thing:
charging when I am low on health, cover when I pack out the big guns,
they even give each other covering fire and hide behind the shields of the big guys
- and they do it in the most stylish way possible.
My favorite gadget is the sentry bot. I love that thing.
My favorite weapon is the shotgun. Id's shotgun is back, I found it rather lackluster in Doom3 and its expansion
but this time it is an all-around killer. You can even use it for bosses and it can shoot GRENADES.
I could not find much use for the RC bomb cars, they always get shot down before they reach their target.
Driving is trackmania-like and fun, I did a few races as well but did not pimp my car that much yet.
I do not know how far I am in the "story" (hahahahahaha) but sofar the encounters have been spot on.
Now all id has to do is to get their act together and release a PC patch that makes it a PC game
and not some port.
PS: the movement in the game is like old quake, it is that awesome quick floaty movement
where you glide across the space in complete ease
