Rage Linux Port Is Not Likely Until 2012

[whizse]

For Rage using OpenGL 3.2? The only source I got is a screenshot of the console "created OpenGL 3.2 context":

an updated driver for all windows is out
vista/7 x86/x64

http://www2.ati.com/DRIVERS/hotfix/catalyst_11.10_preview/amd_catalyst_11.10_preview3_win7_vista.exe

xp xpx64

http://www2.ati.com/DRIVERS/hotfix/catalyst_11.10_preview/amd_catalyst_11.10_preview3_winxp.exe

the textures are not "moving" any more . one thing is that this driver has same numbers for serial than previous preview
it renders great and fps are getting a normal level

You should have linked to the actual web page, not the direct download :-/

You had better have repeated textures or you just don't encapsulate something. And dungeons had better have a repeatable texture theme or it doesn't look right.

Setting, lightning, atmosphere, kind of debree... it just looks great. Sure you can see reocuring overlay/brush things, but not like copy-pasting the same 4-by-4-meter_texture^(infinite).

It just looks great.

BTW, just to point out anyone wanting it to run it in wine and take advantage of the Cuda use in Rage there is a nice little "How-To" posted here:

links come from Rage3D http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33982817
where they wrote : "They are not officially posted yet on AMD's site so no idea what new changes."

by the way , this new driver is not that good and i found a good change to do to make t3xtures look good .
the trick is to add "+s_streamBufferSizeK 128" after rage.exe .
by default the value is 42 . i did not check if 256 gives better results yet as 128 is quite nice .

i tried to change some others cvars but no success

cm_memoryMap "0"
cm_backFaceCull "0"
fc_maxCacheMemoryMB "96"

the 2 first to 1 and the last to 4096 but no luck

I installed the drivers. The game is now playable. Previously it would freeze every few seconds. Speed isn't that great though; previously, between the freezes, it would give me 60FPS. Now it's about 30-40.

We'll see how it runs with the new i5 2500K system I'm expecting for next week.

John Carmack posted this on Twitter:

"We have a bicubic-upsample+detail texture option for the next PC patch that will help alleviate the blurry textures in Rage."

Rage's game world to me is a confusing mess of too many different textures. I get shot at by bandits and have no freaking clue where they're shooting from since I can't see them in all that visual mess. Making textures "sharper" by upscaling isn't going to improve things in this regard.

No, no, no, you can't hit them because they are ninja mutants.
