Best Settings: Quality textures and playability

Instructions:
1. CREATE A CACHE FILE:
1.1 Go to this location (you have to make the hidden files visible to see the "Appdata" folder)
C: \ Users \ UserName \ AppData \ Local
1.2 Create a FOLDER and named it (id software) and inside, create a new one called (rage)

2. GO TO YOUR RAGE GAME FOLDER
2.1. You will have a "BASE" folder. You just have to download the text file (LINK BELOW) and drag it in and configure it, IF NECESSARY
* The text folder is CONFIGURED FOR 16 GO of RAM so I advise you to change the values 16384 to 8192 (if you have 8 GO memory in your pc) or 4096 (for 4 GO) if you are below 16 GB of ram on your pc.
* You can test to set the "m_smooth" to 0, in the text file, if you don't like mouse movements)

LINK: mega..nz/file/e94C3BTQ#ujrYtu7y34bXDO-SHH00PZ9H6t2qJIiNG3dBqYZoy8U

REMOVE THE SECOND POINT BEFORE "NZ" on the link and add "http://" before "MEGA" OR replace your data with these in (rageconfig.cfg) BUT do not forget to change the values in relation to the memory of your pc

Don't forget to adjust your graphics settings in the game (texture detail: on, anisotropic: high, texture cache: high (if you can) and gpu: enable (if you can with your config pc)

antialiasing = x4 (more = black screen appearances)

Other improvements can be made that I have not tested. Here is the link of all the possibilities to improve the graphics and the game (pay attention to the fps)
https://rage.fandom.com/wiki/Tweaks

vt_minlod "-2"
vt_lodBias "-2"

and add, in text file

vt_qualityhdplossless "1"
vt_qualityhdppower "0"
vt_qualityhdpspecular "0"
vt_qualityhdpnormal "0"
vt_qualityhdpdiffuse "0"
vt_qualitydctpower "100"
vt_qualitydctspecular "100"
vt_qualitydctnormal "100"
vt_qualitydctchroma "100"
vt_qualitydctluma "100

3. TO LAUNCH THE GAME MORE FASTER
3.1 Go to your Steam library, Rage, "Right click, Property, General" and modify the "Launch options" by adding this command
(+ com_skipIntroVideo 1 + logfile 0 + fc_maxcachememoryMB 1024).

This should take you directly to the in-game menu

After that, it's good, you can enjoy the game with a great beauty above the basic settings even in ultra.

Enjoy on this masterpiece

What is this? A high texture pack? Official or not?

These are modifications that allow you to enjoy textures and maximum performance by modifying some data in the official game files.

I don't think it's official but the changes come from research I found on the internet and I personally applied when I recently realise the game on my pc and when I saw the result between the base version and the modifications, I knew that it might appeal for some people who would have the motivation, like me, to make some modifications to get the most of the game because, the game deserves it by his style and his universe.

I even made the majority of the changes to simplify the tutorial.

Now, you just need to read on and apply, if you have the motivation to do so to minimize spawn textures and make it more enjoyable to play.

The changes made will not damage your pc and it is not a cheat mod to incorporate into the game so you do not risk anything.

You just have to follow the information and modify your data in relation to your memory on your pc, as indicated.

A "thank you" is always appreciated if you like the result

Do I need to download the textures somewhere, or the config file takes care of it? How much hard drive space would I need, if at all? I have very little room on C:\ right now... Like 15 GBs.

You don't have to download anything except the text file which is 1mbits. You don't have to download it, you can also copy paste the data into your existing text folder on your pc. afterwards, you modify in relation to your memory in your pc.

Which file do I need to modify and where to find it? By text folder you meant temp folder or?

The one in the AppData folder, or some *.INI in the installation folder ("BASE")? I read your post again and you probably tried to make it simpler for people (so they just download the file with the configs edited) BUT I would prefer to just edit the file as necessary etc. 🤣 Apologies for bothering, I'm just not at my gaming machine right now but want to have the exact instructions for later.

I should copy this:

vt_pageImageSizeUniqueDiffuseOnly2 "16384"
vt_pageImageSizeUniqueDiffuseOnly "16384"
vt_pageImageSizeUnique "16384"
vt_pageImageSizeVmtr "16384"

vt_nopreload "0"

vt_maxaniso "4"
image_ignoreHighQuality "0"

vt_minlod "0"
vt_lodBias "0"

r_skipGlare "0"
r_multiSamples "16"
r_useMotionBlur « 0 »
m_smooth "1"

vt_restart
r_forceVmtrReload "1"

In which file, located where?

Thank you!

Hey, so I did it... But not noticing any visual improvements. I added the launch parameters to the Steam shortcut too. I have 16 GB of ram so I left the values as you provided them. What could be the problem?

You should no longer have spawn texture and texture are better, if you have correctly copied the data.

You can see the changes if you move the rageconfig.cfg file on your desktop and launch the game (game will create another one and there, you can see if there is a difference between before and after in game.) If not, there is a problem.

At the same time, don't forget to adjust your graphics settings in the game (texture detail: on, anisotropic: high, texture cache: high (if you can) and gpu: enable (if you can with your config pc)

antialiasing = x4 (not more)

you can enter the values manually to be sure
