So texture popping still not fixed :(

[Magnus Chro]

I love this game but man I try the fix and it helps a little but can anyone explain why with today’s graphics cards (mine is gtx 1080 with 8gb) it still happens?

Thanks for any replies!

I sure hope rage 2 doesn’t do this!

Rage 2 wont. This engine is old and relied on virtual textures and rendered only when the textures came into your field of view. Here are a few resources to dive into that is working for me.

use flawless widescreen to fit hands and hud, scale properly

So alternately, go to the install folder, create a notepad file rageconfig.cfg and paste this
It should eliminate texture pop, also, turn OFF texture detail in game

Put these in your steam launch options:

+vt_pageimagesizevmtr 16384 +vt_pageImageSizeUnique 16384 +vt_pageImageSizeUniqueDiffuseOnly 16384 +vt_pageImageSizeUniqueDiffuseOnly2 16384

You need 2GB of VRAM to use these settings. Make sure you don't use "texture detail", don't worry texture detail is just fake sharpening. Also, you might need more than 3GB of VRAM to use anti aliasing with those commands.

There should be no texture popping with those commands, aside from when you first look at things in the level. If you don't use those commands I listed, your GPU only reserves 800MB of VRAM as cache for the textures, no matter how much VRAM you have.

The commands above work well with a 2600k and nvidia 750ti 2GB @ 1920x1080 with no AA and "texture detail" disabled.

There's a whole thread at the link below that explains how to fix the texture popping. It worked for me, and I've finally started playing this game after buying it a long time ago:

A lot of misunderstanding in that guide
