    RAGE had a few problems at launch, but it has been patched! Huzzah! Included in the additions and fixes are vsync and texture cache options within the menu, as well as the ability to set your own anisotropic filter level. It's noted that for those of you with AMD/ATI cards who are having a ton of issues, you should paste +jobs_numThreads 0 into RAGE's launch options within Steam for a temporary work-around.

    For the patch notes in their entirety, with extra information and instruction, make sure you read this Steam news item. Oh, and don't forget to have a look at our tweaks thread for extra bits and pieces that may help.

      There's no love for the PC. even Skyrim has become more consolized (removal of skills, blending of cuirass and greaves)

      one reason why Mojang's Scrolls wont be confused with The Elder Scrolls - Notch loves the PC, Bethesda does not.

      Got V-Sync to finally force itself on the game. No more tearing, yay!

      Got everything at max; except AA (8x instead of 16x) and it runs saweeeet. Also looks pretty amazing.
      The Tube-city area looks so good.

      This game is quickly turning into one that will make my top 10 list. Brilliant.

      It's pretty much borderlands meets fallout. Nothing revolutionary but it has just enough uniqueness to make it enjoyable.
      Of particular note is the character voices and animations.

      Just completed it. The ending is SUPER disappointing. I mean like, bad. 20 second FMV is all you get.
      The story in general was pretty lazy and there weren't enough missions.

      It wasn't a terrible game and it looks quite pretty; but I'm glad I didn't pay money for it.

      Shame about the ending. Maybe I shouldn't bother finishing it.

      The gunplay, atmosphere and characters have made this game amazing - despite the downfalls. I think, anyway.

      The most exciting thing about the gun play for me were the Wingsticks. The Assault Rifle was clumsy and I found myself using pop rockets half the time due to the stupid amount of rounds the enemies can absorb before dying.

      Definitely agree with the characters though. Some of the best I have seen in a game, let alone an FPS.

      You need to upgrade your weapons and use specialised ammo. Then there's not an enemy in the game that won't drop in 2 shots, with the ammunition made for taking them down.

      For the giant bastards and heavy armors, just keep a rocket launcher stocked.

      I was using the Feltrite AR rounds with the AR; and it was still shit
      Although you said upgrade the weapons. Was that a typo? Or am I the biggest knob-end around for not knowing you can upgrade the base weapon?

      Edit: Unless you're talking about the aim-stabilizer and clip extenders etc. Then yeah I had those.

      Joystiq's review - worth looking at if only for the lols.

      The Feltrite AR rounds drop mutants in exactly 2 bullets, and they'll kill an Authority trooper in less than a clip.

      However, for example, when taking on the Authority you want to use the Combat Shotgun and Plasma rounds - in which case they too fall with two shots. The sniper rifle will also kill them in two shots.

      The Settler Pistol is always a good choice, as using it with Fatboy rounds will see most enemies drop with just a few bullets.
