....borderlands is a damn sight more colourful :P
It is more of a tech demo for the engine, than actually a game.
No-one has any ideas about my friend's complete lack of textures then? We've tried different drivers, custom rageconfig.cfg, changing settings, launch options. Not sure what else we can try.
I've put 42 hours into this game so far and I can honestly say I've enjoyed the hell out of it. Sure it had launch issues, but who cares, since they eventually fixed them and the engine runs smooth as butter now.

Still have to get the Scorchers DLC.. but yeah this game is seriously underrated. I want to see a sequel.

Neobr10: Nice try, but you fail at logics. I'm not talking about something as subjective as taste, so your analogy doesn't quite work to prove my point wrong. I said that there was the texture pop-in issue when the game was release. This is a fact, this can be objectively observed.
But see it's not, because I didn't have pop-in issues.

Most of id's games were tech demos. The better ones were made by Raven ;)

The main game got an update last night, too. It now has a 64-bit executable (with mod support), but the launcher does say that it is unsupported, and I daresay that the 32-bit save games are incompatible with the 64-bit version.

I wonder if the 64-bit version is an improvement if it can make use of more memory? Anyone tried it?

korell: On the subject of Rage, a Steam friend of mine is trying to get it working on their machine but suffering major texture problems. This isn't the popping-in issue, the textures just aren't loading up at all. Screenshots attached.

I believe they have a Quad Core Phenom 1 and an ATI 5870. They are running on 32-bit XP.
They don't yet have the Scorchers DLC (which has the latest 1.3 patch in it) but they might get it to see if it fixes it.

So, seeing those screenshots, I've not seen anything like that with Rage before. I know about poor quality texture problems, corrupted texture problems, and pop-in texture issues, but completely missing ones is a new one to me and I can't find other examples of it. Anyone got any ideas?
Well, I managed to help my friend get the textures loading. Just in case this helps anyone, the setting we used in the rageconfig.cfg file was to change vt_maxppf to 1. At present he is still using 4k textures, but we might try more tweaks to get him up to 8k if possible.
EDIT: I just wrote a response to a 4 day old argument, thinking it was current. Rather than restart said argument, I've deleted the content of my post.

Quick question - those mega-textures look nice from a distance, but are they supposed to be so grainy up close?
