Rage sieht optisch schon ohne weiteres zutun sehr gut aus. Um nun aber auch von den letzten Ressourcen meines PCs zu profitieren habe ich ein wenig in den Config Dateien rumgeschraubt. Da Rage an sich, ganz ID Soft unüblich, mit sehr spartanischen Konfigruationsmöglichkeiten im UI daher kommt muss alles über eine Anpassung der rageConfig.cfg laufen.
RAGE in HQ ? Wie sieht das ganze aus ?
Nun Bilder und Videos sagen in diesem Fall mehr als Worte. Anmerkung zum Video: Da FRAPS in der HQ Rage Config den Aufnahmerechner (nicht meiner) sehr stark belastet ist die Videogeschwindigkeit mies. Ohne Fraps Recording läuft es dagegen mit 60 FPS.1. RAGE Startparameter Anpassen
Aber fangen wir mal bei den Startparametern an, hierzu einfach in der Steam Library Rechtsklick auf RAGE und dort Eigenschaften/Properties hier gibt es eine Funktion "Set launch options..." der Dialog sieht in etwa so aus:
In das Textfeld kommen nun folgende Startparameter:+com_skipIntroVideo 1 +set g_fov 96 +set m_rawinput 1 +set m_raw 1 +m_smooth 0 +com_allowconsole 1
2. Die rageConfig.cfg anpassen
Nun bitte mit dem Windows Explorer das RAGE Verzeichnis öffnen. In der Regel befindet sich dieses im Steam Ordner unter:C:\GAMES\STEAM\steamapps\common\rage\base\
Hier bitte nach einer Datei mit dem Namen rageConfig.cfg Ausschau halten. Existiert diese nicht erstell einfach eine leere Textdatei und benenne sie um in rageConfig.cfg. In diese Datei nun per Copy & Paste diese Config einfügen:

[/source]Ursprung der Konfiguration ist dieser Foren Thread es wurden lediglich einige Anpassungen was die Cache und Speichergrößen angeht. Hier lohnt es sich die Variable "com_videoRam" auf den wirklichen Stand der eigenen Karte zu bringen. Per Default "rechnet" das Spiel mit Maximal 1GB als Grafik RAM, ich habe jedoch eine GTX 480 mit 1.5 GB Speicher 500 MB wären ungenutzt. Auch der Image Cache Image_cacheMegs kann beruhigt bei viel RAM nach oben geschraubt werden. Bei wem diese Config zu Problemen Führt kann einige Parameter herabsetzen oder schaut sich alternative nicht die HD sondern nur die HQ Version der Config an.3. Rage starten
Nun da die Config angepasst ist und die Startparameter eingegeben wurden kann Rage ganz normal gestartet werden. Im Menu von RAGE Drückt man nun die Taste "ö" oder "~" um die Konsole zu öffnen. Scrollt man nun nach oben sollten einige Rote Zeilen mit Config Meldungen auftauchen. Etwa so:
Na dann viel spaß in Rage und Gruß an Loonsum :)
